Simply said and done just like adjusting should be
Alanna brings us to understand the very specific language of body language by clearly saying what it is and how it feels.
It is very difficult to say with words what the body feels and yet by looking at the visuals and listening to her skillful instruction you really feel it and deepen your understanding of the mutual relationship between practitioner of asana and asana adjuster. The important part of this book is her highlight on the power of an uplifting intention before entering a person’s space when touching them. She is not just showing you series of tricks on how to move bones, joints and muscles, she is teaching you how to be at your highest and most compassionate to adjust and assist toward the highest potential of others. If every yoga teachers pick up on her point to pave a path for the enlightenment of people practicing yoga, the yoga of the future will and may certainly be the way to inner and outer peace for many generations to come. Alanna is courageous in daring to care by making the constant effort to bring forth the teachings that were transmitted to her, that she skilfully shares with confidence and generosity.
I love this book and all other publications by the same author.
If anyone is interested in yoga philosophy or deepening their knowledge, Alanna Kaivalya is a modern teacher with an ancient wisdom that will not seem so ancient when described in her very own words.

Excellent resource!
The Art of Adjustments is a comprehensive tool for experienced teachers and new teachers alike. I had never done too many adjustments on students before as I was afraid of injuring them. Through Alanna's information, I have gained the knowledge and confidence to safely guide my students through so many postures. This is a must have book!!
