Hands-On Adjustments Workshop Series for Yoga Teachers
with Chrissy Carter
Thursdays, 8 - 9:30pm
at the Uptown Studios
$25 for each session or $90 for all 4 sessions
Register Here!
September 23rd - Standing Poses
September 30th - Downdog and Inversions
October 7th - Backbends
October 14th - Seated Poses and Savasana
Hands-on adjustments, like our words and our demonstrations, offer
students a different doorway into a pose and can be an effective tool
to align, support or deepen a posture. In this workshop we'll learn
guidelines that will keep our adjustments clean, safe and in service
of the student. There will be a focus on looking at bodies and
refining our assessment skills in order to ascertain potential risk
factors in a pose. We will discuss the main actions of each asana in
question so as to clarify what needs to be communicated with our
hands. Practicing on each other will offer a kinesthetic approach to
learning the adjustments. It is recommended to bring a camera to
document your experience.
CE credits available for Yoga Alliance registered teachers.

In Anusara Yoga we celebrate the boundless freedom available to all practitioners known as Svatantra Shakti. Yet sometimes, this freedom becomes cloaked, veiled, or limited in our experience, and we suffer injury, pain, discomfort, or unhappiness. Using Anusara’s Principles of Alignment, we will restore healthy pathways for Shakti (energy) to flow unobstructed, and break old patterns that keep us from living in the Svatantra Shakti flow more steadily. Yoga shouldn’t hurt!
FREE YOUR HIPS:
In this 2 hour class, you will learn the Universal Principles of Alignment and address common misalignments and ailments of the lower body that create discomfort or pain during (or after) your yoga practice. Good for any issues concerning feet, ankles, knees, hips, or lower back.
FREE YOUR HEART:
In this 2 hour therapeutic approach to your yoga practice, we will apply the Anusara Yoga Principles of Alignment for the upper body.
Good for any issues of the wrist, elbow, shoulder, upper back, neck, jaw and spine.
Eye of The Tigress: LIVE MORE FREE!
Our Tigress practice is an advanced 2.5 hour extravaganza of rocking inversions, arm balances and back bends. When free of feeling limit, we are more able to step fully into what is possible and play with the Shakti to her fullest! Please come to this practice able to do handstand unassisted at the wall, and urdhva dhanurasana (full wheel) also unassisted. No serious injuries please!

Once you start eating sugar, is it difficult to stop? Do you experience constant cravings, especially for sweets or refined carbohydrates, such as pasta or bread? In this 2-part workshop, learn how to free yourself from sugar cravings and restore energy naturally. Then settle into the sweet bliss of restorative yoga to awaken your energy reserves and feel totally refreshed.
1. Interactive Sugar Blues Talk: Sugar is a sneaky, seductive, and wants to keep you hooked. It causes mood swings, fatigue and binging. Learn the facts... how it's hidden in so many of the foods we eat, how it metabolizes in the digestive system, the many ways it harms our health... and finally, easy, accessible ways you can kick the habit.
2. Blissful Restorative Class: Imagine being rather than doing. After a brief warm-up, we'll transition into passive poses, supported by bolsters, blankets and props, so your body melts into each pose effortlessly. The physiological and emotional effects are profoundly healing, relieving stress and allowing energy to be balanced so the body, mind and spirit feel renewed.
