Adjustments "If your teacher gives you a physical correction while you are doing a pose, make sure he or she is not forcing you. A teacher's hand should be light and gently guiding; it should never push, pull or shove." -Loren Fishman, MD on adjustments in his book Healing Yoga
"There are a lot of injuries from uneducated but well-intended yoga teachers who are adjusting their students. In our tradition, adjustment isn't about moving the body, it's about moving awareness. So there are more light touches to move awareness than to move the body. If you're adjusting your people using your bodily force, you are not really serving them. You might be serving your ego or something but you be careful because your insurance policy won't cover that if you're sued." - Gary Kraftsow
