As a practitioner constantly

working with people who have

trauma, I have recently chosen to

no longer engage in any hands-on

adjustments. – Sharon

I will never forget when a teacher —

and there’s only been one do this in

the whole time I have practiced yoga

which has been a decade—asked

the class if anyone was opposed to

adjustments. A couple of people

put their hands up and their wishes

were respected. – Marina

I’m doing the assisting training at

the moment. For people who are

open to assists and adjustments,

these can be invaluable and can open

up a student’s mind and body to the

right alignment and the safe way of

doing a pose in the long term. - Alan

An Enlightening Read

I enjoyed the latest issue of Yoga Journal,

but the high point has to be Todd Cole’s piece ‘The Lotus Realm’;

one of the best things you’ve ever published. I’ve never

experienced one of those sudden bursts of enlightenment, but

Cole’s brutal honesty depicting such an experience—with the

bad (the yearning for the feeling to return) as well as the good

explored—was enlightening in itself. That such a story was also

a lovely piece of travel writing made it all the more extraordinary.

I hope Cole writes more for Yoga Journal. – Brad, Bondi

Thanks so much Brad. We’re so glad you loved the mag and Todd’s

article. You’ll definitely be reading more from him in future – Ed
