Summary

This is our first-ever live podcast recording! From Jason's training in San Francisco at Love Story Yoga, we dig deep into how yoga teachers can serve their students better through offering hands-on, or manual, adjustments.

We talk about:

* The value of hands-on adjustments in yoga postures for students, and which students might benefit most.

* Why Jason feels there should be a paradigm shift in the way teachers deliver manual adjustments and what that shift should be.

* Ways to approach adjusting super flexible students, tighter students, and those middle-of-the-road students + why it's important to give them all equal attention in class.

* Practical advice teachers can implement right now to offer safer, more skillful adjustments that informs their experience of the posture.

0:37.0	Today I'm excited to share with you our first live episode. We did it success. It really wasn't that complicated, but you know for me it took me about a year of thinking about it to actually do it.

1:57.1	more skeptical about it and I think that's simply because I have a very just sensitive constitution.
2:04.8	You can like blow on me and my hamstring will, you know, snap.
2:09.4	It was helpful for me to have this conversation because I think I've forgotten what it's like to be a newer student and new to all these shapes and poses and how helpful it was to have that that outside touch when I was first practicing to help me get into the shapes more
