Level 2 Yoga Teacher Training – Alignment & Adjustment LEVEL 2 YOGA TEACHER TRAINING – ALIGNMENT & ADJUSTMENT PARTNER YOGA Partner Yoga is a fun way to practice yoga whether taught as a full class, incorporated into a general class for one or two postures, or as a fun training session at home with a friend. Partner Yoga is a beautiful way to unite with another soul whilst practicing yoga. The art of two people performing asana in tandem brings a deepening of one’s personal practice. Here are some of the highlights of having a ‘yoga buddy’: • Your partner adjusts your poses, bringing an increase in flexibility that cannot be achieved as easily on your own • Strength can be developed as your partner supports you in many yang postures that require deep strength and endurance • Two breaths working in synchronicity will raise the vibration within the practice leading to deeper healing and awakenings • You become a healer • You receive healing in a more dynamic way – from your own yoga practice, from the joined prana and from your partner • You develop the power of touch and become adept in massage and energy healing • Having a yoga partner motivates your own desire to practice (particularly if you make practicing partner yoga a weekly ritual) • You can encourage friends, family or romantic partner to try yoga for the first time with a fun and supportive practice like partner yoga • Laughter is a great by-product of partner yoga and facilitates healing through fun and frivolity • For yoga teachers, practicing partner yoga will empower you to reach out to adjust your students with confidence and ease • Partner yoga is ideal for couples therapy and will bring deeper heart connection as well as benefiting physical relations Partner Yoga Sequencing Sequencing for specialty classes such as partner or couples yoga follows the same principles as sequencing for a general yoga class. Breath Connection – this can be done in Sukhasana, sitting back to back or facing each other with palms connected to your partner. Warm-up – moving from the ground up in readiness for Surya Namaskar, partner squats into partner Uttanasana can be incorporated here. Surya Namaskar can be performed facing each other which creates a beautiful flow or can be done with one person doing the sequence and the other adjusting. MY HEALTH YOGA LEVEL 2 YOGA TEACHER TRAINING | ALIGNMENT & ADJUSTMENT | PAGE 2 OF 20 Balance Poses – partner balance poses are invaluable, as we have someone to assist us to remain steady, allowing us to then work on the finer points within a balance pose that are often lost such as alignment and bandhas. Standing Poses – so many variations can be done with the classical standing asanas such a Trikonasana, Virabhadransa 1 & 11 and Parsvakonasana. Deeper standing poses such as Pavritta Trikonasana and Pavritta Parsvakonasana may require more adjustment type support than a partner pose (where the 2 people execute the pose at the same time which can be the same pose or counter-poses). MY HEALTH YOGA LEVEL 2 YOGA TEACHER TRAINING | ALIGNMENT & ADJUSTMENT | PAGE 3 OF 20 Seated Poses – seated poses offer a wide range of partner asanas and also time to massage each other for longer periods of time as when positioned on the floor, there is naturally more support and often we can hold poses for longer. Final rest – back to back seated meditation can be effective here in a partner yoga class or take it in turns to provide a Savasana healing/massage. CREATE YOUR OWN PARNTER YOGA POSE – describe how the pose looks and give your pose a name! ____________________________________________________________________________________ Types of Partner Classes Many partner yoga classes are open to bring your own friend or turn up solo and be paired with someone on the day. Other class variations include: MY HEALTH YOGA LEVEL 2 YOGA TEACHER TRAINING | ALIGNMENT & ADJUSTMENT | PAGE 4 OF 20 • Couples Yoga • Acro Yoga (this style is trademarked and cannot be advertised by all teachers) • Mums/Dads & Bubs • Parent & Child • Doga! Couples Yoga as Therapy Many couples have become disconnected within their relationship and find it difficult to communicate their deepest feelings and desires. Ultimately trust is diminished and physical touch is lessened. It is said that at the point where couples cease to look into each other’s eyes (as is done in the primary phases of a romance), the disconnection has already begun. Therefore, soul gazing can be a very effective technique to commence a couples yoga class. Sitting in Sukhasana, face to face, palms connected, breath full, deep and even and gazing deeply into each other’s eyes. The eyes are the windows to the soul and will assist a reconnection to the deepest aspect of each other. Couples Yoga varies from partner yoga in that intimacy is the main focus of the class and many poses can be performed front to front (as opposed to back to back in many partner poses). Rest poses can be done hugging and leaning the head on the other’s shoulder. Guiding the couple to explore each other’s physical body through touch and to tune into the energy, emotions and breath rhythm of their partner is a profound way to create trust again in the relationship. Couples will naturally feel more comfortable ‘off the mat’ to talk about their feelings, ask for their needs to be met and this will transfer into a more loving physical connection with more hugs, kisses and lovemaking. After each couples yoga session, ask the couples to give each other feedback over how they felt, what poses they enjoyed, where they sensed they were holding on etc. MY HEALTH YOGA LEVEL 2 YOGA TEACHER TRAINING | ALIGNMENT & ADJUSTMENT | PAGE 5 OF 20 Yoga Massage The Yoga Massage we have developed and teach at My Health uses a fusion of Thai and Hawaiian bodywork with western massage techniques. The combination of these techniques creates a very profound and healing experience for both giver and receiver. Thai Massage The origin of Thai Yoga Massage was developed some 2500 years ago. The founder Jivaka Komarubhacca born in India was a renowned ayurvedic doctor, physician to Buddha and a devoted yogi. Deeply rooted in Ayurvedic medicine and healing traditions, it was then brought to Southeast Asia where it evolved with influences from Chinese, Indian and Southeast Asian cultural and healing practices of Ayurveda, Hatha Yoga and Chinese Meridian system into Thai Yoga Massage. There are different variations of this bodywork depending on which region it is from. Polynesian Floorwork This ancient form of bodywork is based on Polynesian healing systems. Similar to Thai Massage it combines deep and gentle stretches, bone/joint massage and mobilisation. This beautiful form or bodywork allows the body to release stress and tension, and to let go of emotional trauma, old wounds and patterns. This facilitates the client to re-set and re-direct the flow of energy, leading to restoration and balance. The powerful healing system of Yoga Massage is very holistic and therapeutic. It uses a combination of acupressure, asana, stretching, joint mobilisation, massage, breathwork and affirmation. MY HEALTH YOGA LEVEL 2 YOGA TEACHER TRAINING | ALIGNMENT & ADJUSTMENT | PAGE 6 OF 20 Massage Therapy and Bodywork Massage is a healing technique which is a natural, instinctive and intuitive part of all human beings. People spontaneously rub their shoulders or temples to relieve tension or massage their joints to get the energy moving. Massage can create health and well-being in both the giver and receiver and has been known to cure many ails. The science of Yoga Massage gives evidence of: • Improved flexibility • Relief of physical and emotional stress • Stimulates and balances the meridian system • Relief of chronic pain • Improves circulation • Boosts the immune system • Drains the lymphatic system • Opens and balances the chakra system (endocrine system of the physical body) • Conditioning and relieving the muscular system • Aligning the skeletal system • Cleanses the digestive system • Improves body/mind connection and awareness • Promotes inner peace Science is also finding evidence of what healers know intuitively – massage heals due to the power of TOUCH. It is reported that children who grew up in a household where there was little affection are more likely to be depressed and insecure as adults. Touch is a physical ritual to give love – something we all deserve.

These are Yoga Massage techniques that are useful for yoga teachers within the class environment or private classes. For full training and description of techniques, please join our Yoga Massage Practitioner Training course. As Yoga Teachers and Healers, we can trust ourselves to adjust and massage through Universal guidance and intuition. Whilst it is great to have a massage technique or structure to work within, like any other healing modality, doing what you are guided to do in each moment is more powerful.

  • RIMYI Certification Course Guidlines Booklet
    CERTIFICACERTIFICATIONTION AND ASASSESSMENTSESSMENT GUIDELINES AprilJuly 20202020 It is relatively easy to be a teacher of an academic subject, but to be a teacher in art is very difficult, and to be a yoga teacher is the hardest of all, because yoga teachers have to be their own critics and correct their own practice. — B.K.S. Iyengar Contents Introduction 04 Section A Certification Structure 06 Section B Becoming a Teacher 09 Section C Criteria for Assessors 11 Section D Assessment Process 12 Section E Feedback 28 Section F Syllabus 29 Notes 44 FAQs 50 Appendix 61 Introduction Don’t be exclusive, be inclusive… not only in asana but every walk of life. – B.K.S. Iyengar Guruji was a believer in tradition but at the same time, he was a great revolutionary. He discovered new paths for imparting objective knowledge of a philosophical subject like yoga. Paramparã was important to him but he recognised that as the community grew larger, a different framework for teaching and assessment would be needed. Over the past few years, Geetaji and Prashantji repeatedly pointed out that assessments are losing their basic purpose and teacher training is becoming a business. Their observation and criticism have immense value in Iyengar Yoga. Their concerns have motivated us to dig deeper into the process of yoga teaching worldwide. On behalf of RIMYI, we elicited feedback on the current methodology of teaching and assessment. The response was overwhelming. Letters, mails, What’s apps, messages….every corner of the world had something to contribute. We, at the institute, have taken cognisance of every conceptual contribution offered.

  • Yoga Tools for Pilates Teachers
    Yoga Tools for Pilates Teachers Learn seven key differences and takeaways between Pilates and yoga that you can use to enhance your teaching and your students’ practice. In one of my first Jivamukti yoga classes many years ago, I asked my teacher if she taught Pilates. She said no and asked “why?” I shared with her that her cueing for alignment was very similar to how I taught. This wise teacher laughed and said: “Good alignment is good alignment!” So true. Some students and teachers say “I do yoga” or “I do Pilates” as if they are mutually exclusive or cannot co-exist. Rather than think of yoga OR Pilates, learn to think about yoga and Pilates as complementary and enrich your teaching and your life with both practices. To the uninitiated, yoga and Pilates are often confused for one another, yet they are distinctly different. Yoga is an ancient practice dating back thousands of years, and its primary goal is reaching spiritual enlightenment. Meanwhile, Pilates is a modern mind/body discipline with a goal of developing the powerhouse and improving posture and movement. Just as there are different schools of Pilates, there are different schools of yoga. Vinyasa (flow) yoga – where asanas (postures) flow on the breath – is the most similar in structure to Pilates. But they are still very distinct and different practices; and it is because they are different that they can be very complementary practices! You do not need to become a certified yoga teacher to incorporate some of the basic yoga asanas into your teaching.

  • Healthy Hips in Hatha Yoga by Nicole Deavilla Whiting
    Healthy Hips in Hatha Yoga By Nicole DeAvilla Whiting Ask anyone—even a doctor—to put their hands on their hips, and chances are that all hands will go to their waists. Ask new yoga students to stand with their feet hip-joint distance apart, and you’ll see the legs widen beyond the typical, anatomically correct distance of 3-4 inches. Sadly, you’ll see some (yes, mostly women) with perhaps a not-so-good self-image, set their feet farther apart than the width of the entire pelvis. So where are those hips anyway? Hip Joints 101 The hip joint is the place where the femur (upper leg bone) connects to the pelvis. Both the iliac crest (i.e., the top of the ilium: upper part of the pelvis) and the greater trochanter (the large protrusion on the outer side of the femur, near but still Nicole leads Ananda below the hip joint) are often mistaken for the location of this Yoga Therapy Teacher elusive, but otherwise relatively simple, ball-and-socket joint.

  • Translating, Practicing and Commodifying Yoga in the Us
    TRANSLATING, PRACTICING AND COMMODIFYING YOGA IN THE U.S. By SHREENA NIKETA DIVYAKANT GANDHI A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2009 1 © 2009 Shreena Niketa Divyakant Gandhi 2 To My Dad and Mom 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS First and foremost, I am thankful for all the teachers that I have had over the years. Each member of my dissertation committee has been instrumental in how I have come to think about history and religion. Dr. Jon Sensbach (through Rebecca) has helped me think about the characters that create the history; that they are not merely pawns but agents that are emblematic of their times and contexts, which helped me realize that the various yogi characters in my dissertation are not only products but also producers of history. Dr. Manuel Vasquez introduced me to Maurice Merleau-Ponty and the fallacy of a Cartesian outlook especially when examining a bodily practice. Far beyond yoga, Dr. Vasudha Narayanan opened my eyes to the richness and variety of my own history, heritage and faith; her words have brought meaning and hope in times of extreme light and darkness over these past six years. Dr. David Hackett has patiently and meticulously worked with me on a variety of subjects; because of his dedicated teaching I have been able to think through and about the commodity and fetish, its place in culture, capitalism and American religious history. Without the guidance and teaching of Dr. Narayanan and Dr.

  • Asana Families
    Asanas "True yoga starts with radical self-acceptance. You are fully present with what is, observing the self without judgment. When the body knows that the mind is kind, it will open and release."1 Richard Faulds Asanas, or poses, are the third limb of the eight limb path of yoga. The primary role of asanas is to prepare the body and mind to be able to sit for meditation for long periods of time. Asanas open energy channels and chakras, allowing prana to flow more freely. Asanas can develop strength, flexibility, restore energy and a sense of wellbeing and may provide some relief from painful conditions. Asanas can be grouped into families of related poses. Families of yoga poses are listed below, along with their potential benefits, contraindications and variations, and where you might place a particular type of pose in a sequence.2,3 The lists are not exhaustive. Contraindications are conditions or factors that may serve as a reason to be cautious when attempting a pose. For example, a person with a hip replacement is contraindicated for hip openers that may dislodge their prosthetic hip joint. Yoga outreach classes are generally taught in a group setting where there can be a wide range of fitness and health levels, ages and flexibility. It is best to advise students to take responsibility for their own wellbeing and to pay attention to their bodies. Sensation is welcome, not pain. You might encourage students to find variety in their own poses, considering what the heart of a pose might be and asking for advice if they get stuck.
