The Art of Forward Folding – Anatomy, Alignment, Actions, and Adjusting

With Anne Weidinger and Tom Griffith

Enhance your ability to practice and teach both standing and seated forward folds in this in-depth, three-hour workshop. Together, we’ll review anatomy, foundational alignment, and skillful hands-on adjustments to support safe, effective, and intelligent movement.

This workshop will blend lecture, movement, and hands-on practice as we explore how to:

· Understand the anatomy and mechanics of forward folding

· Apply clear, effective verbal cues for dynamic action and breath

· Guide students into, out of, and within poses with intention

· Integrate verbal cueing with appropriate hands-on adjustments in mixed-level classes

Giving and receiving hands-on adjustments with other teachers offers a valuable opportunity to receive feedback, refine technique, and build confidence. Regardless of the style of yoga you teach, this workshop will provide practical tools to support both your teaching and your personal practice—helping you keep students safe, supported, and inspired.
