IYNAUS Teachers’ Forum: Hands-on Adjustments and Consent
Sunday, October 31, 2021
2:00 pm - 3:30 pm Eastern Time.

As yoga studios reopen, this is an opportune time to explore the importance of adjustment - both as a teaching tool and a hallmark of the Iyengar Yoga classroom experience.

Join CIYTs Cathy Wright, Hector Martinez, Rebecca Lerner, and Marla Apt for presentations, discussion, and Q+A on the following topics:

 

  • Teacher-student relationships: power dynamics and boundaries
  • Affirmative informed consent for hands-on adjustments
  • Consent and the classroom: Teacher intention, student empowerment, and trust
  • Effective hands-on adjustments
  • Special considerations for hands-on adjustments during the COVID-19 pandemic

 

This free session is open to certified Iyengar Yoga teachers and Iyengar Yoga teachers-in-training. Teachers in training must submit a letter of recommendation from their mentor.

A recording of the session will be provided. This session qualifies for 1.5 continuing education hours for CIYTs.
