This weekend will include Tim's masterful technniques in hands-on adjustments. His methods give students the kinesthetic road map to understanding where the body needs to go in even the most challenging asanas ie. Supta Kurmasana, Janu Sirsasana B, Marichyasana D. In his own words, "The assists we all remember are the ones that spoke to us precisely where we were at in a given moment and gave us the gift of overcoming the next step we needed at that time in our practice."

In these two adjustment master classes, Tim offers you the framework for this style of teaching. Listening is the first step. Tim will teach you how to stop and listen to your student's body and in the simplest way, connect deeply with the human being in front of you. You will begin to share one aim-a positive human transformation of your student's practice and general well being. If you are seeking to develop strong, effective adjustment techniques that will give you the opportunity to connect and transform your students' practice: This is the workshop for You!!
