OVERVIEW
WHAT ARE HANDS-ON ADJUSTMENTS?
The hands-on adjustments are an art. The art of ‘manipulating’ the postures of yoga practitioners -by using highly skilled hands-on techniques- to help them achieve the following:
- Correct aesthetic alignment
- Deepen a particular posture, which otherwise they may not be able to do on their own due to:
- Tight muscles
- Tight connective tissues (i.e. fascia)
- Scar tissue
- Nervous system (mechanisms of protection / mental barriers)
- “Time collapse”: Accelerating their journey to become more flexible, mobile and/or functional.
- Create new muscle memories to explore broader ranges of movement and flexibility.
- Unlearn any unwanted/unhealthy pattern of movement and establishing new ones by retraining the nervous system.
- Experience postures in ways they may have never felt before.
- Reduce the chances of injuries by teaching them to feel the appropriate alignment of the postures.
- Enhance their body awareness.

COURSE CONTENT
Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga is the most popular style of yoga asana practice in the world. This module is based on the postures of the Ashtanga Yoga Primary Series and offers the most practical hands-on adjustments techniques for majority of the postures of the Series. Since these asanas are common to other styles of yoga, everyone who takes this course will greatly benefit, irrespective of the style of yoga you practice or teach.
The Ashtanga Yoga Primary Series includes standing, seated, supine and inverted postures. It covers forward folds, backbends, twists and balancing postures. This makes it a very comprehensive and complete inventory of yoga postures. By learning the hands-on adjustments techniques for these postures, you will learn almost everything about hands-on adjustments you will ever need to adjust simple to intermediate poses. (Other modules will cover more advanced and complex postures)
The hands-on adjustments theory is a very vast subject; therefore, you will have a good amount of time to study and practice the skills explained in the course.

THE TEACHER

DEEPAK SHARMA, INDIA
E-RYT 500, SYT
Director and Founder of Sampoorna Yoga India
DEEPAK SHARMA
Deepak is the founder of Sampoorna Yoga, Goa and Costa Rica. He founded Sampoorna in 2008 after taking part in a 10-days Vipassana meditation retreat in Sri Goenka Tradition. He has been practicing yoga for 30 years and has been teaching actively for the last 25 years. He has graduated more than 11,000 international yoga teachers till date.
Yoga has been part of his family for many generations. Be it his grandfather, father or his mother, they all have been spiritual seekers. Yoga started to become part of his life when he was merely 12 years old. It started when his father asked him to assist him in his yoga workshops. His role was to merely organise the yoga mats and supply ‘warm & salted’ water to the participants during yogic cleansing techniques. It was through the keen observation of his father’s teaching style and people’s gratitude towards his father’s efforts that inspired him to learn more about yoga.
His father was a renowned yoga teacher in his home town in central India. Although he was in a job, he used to conduct free yoga workshops for the locals quite often. His father was so passionate about helping people through yoga that he used to literally take loans to conduct his workshops. His both parents have been spiritual seekers and have been visiting their Guru’s ashram for decades. His mother follows the path of bhakti yoga.
Deepak’s journey as a yoga student started by assisting his father in the yoga workshops his father used to conduct for the local people in the town when he was merely 12 year old. He became truly inspired with the power of yoga when he saw the value his father was adding to people’s lives through yoga.
Although he had been reading various yogic texts on yoga and spirituality since the age of 15, his journey of real yoga had not begun yet. He went on to become an engineer and worked various jobs just like many others. It was, when he was 24, when his real journey of yoga began. It was when he was in Mumbai railway station waiting for his train with four hours in hand to kill. He decided to go out to look for a movie theatre but ended up buying the most respected book on yoga ever, the Bhagavad Gita. In a non-stop reading spree of the next 26 hours he had finished the 850-page book. The book and its teachings had a profound impact on him and he was not the same person anymore.
While still in his 9 to 5 job he started to study more and more spiritual texts, visiting spiritual ashrams, attending satsangs, practicing more yoga and meditation. At the same time he also started to teach yoga to his colleagues for free to help them. When he was 30 he left his job and went to an ashram for two years to study with his guru. It was in the ashram where it was revealed to him that yoga was his path.
Apart from his father, Deepak has studied with various Gurus like Swami Sivananda, Swami Satyananda, Swami Niranjanananda, Osho, Eknaath Eswaran and J Krishnamurty and has studied hundreds of spiritual texts.
