The next section is the practical demonstration of adjustments using hands and belts. For this we will follow the Ashtanga Vinyasa sequence. These same adjustments can be applied to any asana style you may teach. As always, practice is of utmost importance, you should meet with a student or fellow teacher to practice these adjustments.
