Overview
Ā
The benefits of both giving and receiving an assistāthe extraordinary mind/body/spirit connection between yoga teacher and studentādepend on knowing what an assist is, and fully understanding the method of Jivamukti itself.
Ā
Though ācorrectionsāāwith teachers who fixed studentsā mistakesāhad evolved to āadjustments,ā the world-renowned founders of the Jivamukti Yoga method recognized this still suggested that changes to oneās technique were necessary. In this book, they use āassistā to communicate the idea of two beings interacting on various levels of consciousness to bring into focus the five central tenets of Jivamukti: Shastra (or scripture), devotion, nonviolence, music, and meditation.
Ā
From cultivating trust and patience to final relaxation and massage, this step-by-step, fully illustrated guideāfeaturing dozens of asanasāexplores the giving of yoga as an art, a flowing dance of body, breath, and energy between two connected beings. Whether we receive or give, an assist is an active process in the resolution of a relationship between teacher and student, a microcosm of the flowing interrelation among all people, and all species.
