Jan Watson is trained in the Iyengar Yoga Methodology, and it’s the precision and alignment that inspires her teaching.
,
. Precision is the correct placement of the different body parts. It’s also in the detail of the instructions – which joint/muscle to move or activate and in which direction.
. Alignment is with bones, joints, muscles and tendons – neither over-activating nor under-activating so that nothing pokes in and nothing pokes out. In practicing Iyengar Yoga, it’s the ‘inner feeling’ of stability and balance that is the true alignment.
. Timing; it is equally important to go into a pose, stay in a pose and come out of a pose, thoughtfully.
. Modification of poses are taught when needed; the use of props is one of the a hall marks of Iyengar Yoga; this is not to relax or be lazy but to get the pose to work.
.
Jan gives firm, yet gentle adjustments …to help you ‘feel’ the correct position and so tap into the stability and balance of practice.
