Objective :  To help participants understand the anatomical and mechanical principles behind  asanas (yoga poses), enhance their alignment, and provide effective adjustments to improve their teaching & practice.

It will help you to design alignment instructions about Yoga Poses systematically and scientifically without memorizing it.

Understanding & Practice about: 

Gravity and Yoga Asanas:

 • Impact on Stability: How gravity affects balance and alignment in various poses.

 • Leveraging Gravity: Techniques to use gravity to deepen stretches and enhance stability.

Importance of Foundation:

  • Base of Support: How a solid foundation stabilizes poses and prevents injuries.

  • Dynamic Foundation: The need for constant adjustments in the foundation to maintain alignment and stability.

Pair of Opposite Muscles:

  • Balance for Stability: How engaging opposing muscle groups maintains balance and alignment.

  • Counterbalancing Forces: Techniques to use opposing muscles to create strength and support in poses.

Line of Tension:

  • Structural Support: How understanding the line of tension helps maintain proper alignment and avoid strain.

  • Dynamic Adjustments: Using the line of tension to modify poses for better effectiveness and safety.

Tensegrity:

  • Principle Overview: Understanding tensegrity as a concept of balanced tension and compression in the body.

  • Application in Asanas: How to use the principles of tensegrity to enhance stability and fluidity in practice.

Breathing Pattern and Adjustment:

  • Breath as a Tool: How to use breathing patterns to influence muscle engagement and relaxation.

  • Breath-Body Connection: Aligning breath with movement for improved performance and safety in asanas.

Conversing Histories:

  • Understanding Individual Backgrounds: Knowing each participant’s physical and medical history allows for tailored adjustments and safer practice. This includes any previous injuries, chronic conditions, or unique physical limitations.

  • Effective Communication: Establish open lines of communication where participants feel comfortable sharing their histories.

Modification and Injuries:

  • Pose Adaptation: Modify poses using props and variations to accommodate physical limitations or injuries, ensuring participants can practice safely and effectively.

  • Injury Prevention: Implement practices that focus on proper alignment and gradual progression to prevent exacerbation of existing injuries and avoid new injuries.

Anti-Fragility:

  • Building Resilience: Use controlled stress in yoga practice to help participants become more adaptable and resilient, improving their ability to handle physical and emotional challenges.

  • Progressive Challenge: Incorporate gradual increases in difficulty and intensity in practice to promote strength and flexibility while allowing time for recovery and adaptation.

Myths in Yoga Asana Practice:

  • Debunking Misconceptions: Address and correct common myths such as the necessity of perfect alignment or that yoga should always be painful to be effective. Provide evidence-based information to counter these myths.

  • Realistic Expectations: Emphasize that yoga practice is highly individual and that success is not measured by comparison to others. Promote a holistic approach that includes mental and emotional well-being, not just physical achievement.

Awareness:

  • Mindful Movement: Encourage participants to cultivate awareness of their body and breath, helping them to move with intention and avoid unnecessary strain or injury.

  • Self-Observation: Teach participants to observe their physical and emotional responses during practice, allowing for adjustments based on real-time feedback and enhancing their overall practice experience.
