Publisher's Synopsis
A quintessential resource for yoga teachers to master the art and practice of adjustments, assists, and alignments--the companion deck to Mark Stephens' best-selling Yoga Adjustments. The Mark Stephens Yoga Adjustments Deck empowers yoga teachers and teacher trainers to understand applications of touch in teaching yoga; learn the most effective methods of tactile cueing; and apply principles of hands-on yoga teaching to improve alignment, like moving with the breath, supporting stable foundations, and honoring safe biomechanics. The first to focus specifically on teaching effective alignments and safe adjustments, this deck includes 105 full-color yoga flash cards with instructional photos, color-coded by type of posture. An accompanying booklet provides detailed explanations of how to assist students in a variety of poses so users are equipped with hands-on, practical guidance for in-class adjustments. Cards can be used as flashcards for new teachers, by experienced teachers who need to make adjustments on the fly, and by experienced home practitioners with deep personal practices. The booklet and cards come packaged in a box approximately 4 inches wide, 6 inches tall, and 2 inches thick--perfect for easy storage and on-the-go use.
