Introduction
Hands on adjustments in yoga poses can be a powerful tool for yoga teachers when applied effectively and safely. When adjustments are performed with correct echnique and strength, they can transform your student's yoga experience as body awareness and kinesthetic muscle memory is developed. This in turn creates a safer practice environemnt for both teacher and student. Overall, when it comes to adjustments, its as much about experiencing the benefits of optimal postural alignment as the healing ability of touch. This is a Drishti Yoga Continuing Education Program (CEP). Yoga Alliance Registered Yoga Teachers (RYTs) who complete this course can clock Continue Education hours required to maintain their registration. If you are not a yoga teacher then this course will be a powerful experience to deepen your knowledge and practice about asana, breathing and alignment.
Continuing Education Program (CEP)
Yoga Alliance, the nonprofit governing body of yoga that regulates the training programs and specifications in the U.S., requires that teachers take at least 30 continuing education units (CEUs) every three years, from the date they first registered as yoga teacher (in addition to teaching at least 45 hours during that time, as well). While in-person trainings are the best, through workshops at your studio or at yoga conferences, teachers can also get CEU credits through non-contact hours. One CEU hour is credited to teachers for every five hours of non-contact study, which could be studying through yoga books, magazines, DVDs, participating in webinars or online courses, publishing your own work on yoga, or even creating class materials.
