The quintessential guide to yoga assisting and hands-on teaching, Yoga Adjustments introduces the art and practice of providing yoga assists to yoga students. Addressing one of the most important topics in the yoga field, expert yoga instructor and best-selling author Mark Stephens covers the philosophy of yoga practice, the sensibilities of touch in teaching yoga and improving alignment, the seven principles of hands-on yoga teaching, and the twenty-five most effective methods of tactile cueing. An invaluable resource for all yoga teachers, teacher trainers, and serious yoga students, this book includes a foreword by yoga star Shiva Rea as well as over 850 unique instructional photos and explanatory captions demonstrating precise ways of guiding a variety of flowing sequences.Opening with an in-depth discussion of the philosophy of yoga assisting, Part I--Foundations describes the methods and techniques of giving yoga assistance, with detailed discussions of all of the elements of yoga assisting including communicating with students, qualities of touch, the five basic steps of providing hands-on cues, hands-on positioning and stance. Part II--Applications demonstrates how to assist students in each of over 100 postures in the seven families of asanas (poses). Each chapter begins with background on an asana family and close consideration of its foundation asana. Each asana is presented in a two-page spread with photos that show how to give students effective guidance and support. Part III--Evolution offers thoughts on the further development of yoga in the twenty-first century.

I purchased this book from Amazon after reviewing it extensively at a local bookstore. As a new yoga instructor, it looked like something that could be beneficial to me in further developing my skills for hands-on assists in class. (Because I work full-time as a psychologist, I currently teach 1 yoga class/week, a beginners class.)Author Mark Stephens has created a comprehensive, thorough guide for performing yoga adjustments. Of course, it is difficult to learn this from a book, but still, Stephens has put together a manual that offers very detailed instructions to build on what most teachers have (hopefully) learned in their teacher training programs. Stephens is clearly extremely knowledgeable, and the book is well-organized, first describing basis for hands-on teaching and then going on to provide both photos and step-by-step guidelines for individual postures, broken down by asana category (e.g., Standing Asanas, Back Bends, etc.).So given all of the above, I couldn't figure out why this book was not more helpful to me. Finally, the realization dawned on me--it is because all of the models performing the postures in the book are PERFECT! None of the models in the book looks at all like any of my students; they don't even appear to be in NEED of any type of adjustment. To the best of my knowledge, most of the adjustments described by Stephens are to assist students WHO ALREADY HAVE GOOD ALIGNMENT with getting deeper into the pose. In my beginners classes, however, I want to give my students assists so that they have better alignment, can achieve greater comfort in the pose, can do the posture in a way that is safe for their joints, etc. I would have loved if Stephens had addressed these issues and had included photos of models who were MIS-aligned and in need of adjustment, but this did not appear to be the focus of his book.So in the end, although I do think this book is very well-done, I'm also somewhat disappointed with it. I would suggest that YOGA ADJUSTMENTS is best suited to teachers who are mostly working with experienced students and/or all-levels classes, not with beginners.
