Learn the Science of Alignment and the Skill of Safe Touch
If you have been practising or teaching yoga for a while, you know that alignment is important. The way a pose is entered, held, and exited determines not just how it looks, but how it feels — in the joints, in the breath, and throughout the nervous system. You will also know that every individual has his or her physical limitations, thus understanding anatomy and biomechanics also ensure safe movement.
At Unika Yoga, our Yoga Alignment and Safe Adjustment Workshop in Singapore is designed for yoga teachers and regular yoga practitioners who want to refine their technical understanding and enhance the way they guide or experience yoga. This isn’t about mastering fancy poses or extreme flexibility — it’s about cultivating precision, awareness, and safety in every movement.
Why Learn Alignment and Adjustment
Even experienced practitioners can develop habitual misalignments over time — a knee turning in, a hip collapsing, or a shoulder overworking. These small patterns can limit progress and sometimes lead to injury. Learning proper alignment helps you rediscover the intelligence of your body and build a sustainable practice rooted in stability and freedom.
For yoga teachers, this knowledge is invaluable. Understanding how to see alignment in your students, when to adjust, and how to adjust safely can transform the quality of your teaching. A well-timed, mindful adjustment — whether verbal or physical — can awaken awareness in a student far more effectively than a dozen cues.
Why Attend
For practitioners, this workshop deepens your personal practice by building awareness of optimal alignment and body mechanics — making your poses safer, stronger, and more stable.
For teachers, it is an opportunity to sharpen your eye for detail, enhance your confidence in offering adjustments, and create safer, more empowering classes for your students.
At Unika Yoga, we believe true growth happens when technique meets mindfulness — and when learning is guided by experience, compassion, and precision.
What You’ll Learn
In this hands-on workshop, you’ll gain practical, real-world teaching and movement skills, including:
- Fundamentals of alignment: Explore key principles across fundamental standing, and seated poses, to more advanced backbending, and inversion postures.
- When and how to adjust: Learn to identify when an adjustment is needed and when it’s best to let the body find its own balance.
- Safe physical adjustments: Understand anatomy-informed touch — where to place your hands, how much pressure to apply, and how to protect both student and teacher.
- Effective verbal cues: Refine your language to guide alignment clearly and confidently.
- Hands-on pair practice: Apply what you learn through guided partner work under close supervision.
What Happens in the Workshop
Our Art of Alignment and Safe Adjustment Workshop is designed to help you learn through both theory and experience. We begin with a grounding practice and posture observation — learning to see alignment before adjusting it. Through demonstrations and guided partner work, you’ll explore how minor shifts can make major changes in balance, stability, and energy flow.
Expect a mix of observations, discussion and interaction, hands-on practice, detailed anatomical insight, and real-time feedback from experienced facilitators. You will receive personalised attention to refine your technique and deepen your confidence — both as a practitioner and as a teacher.
By the end of the workshop, alignment will no longer feel abstract. You’ll see it, feel it, and understand how to communicate it clearly to others.
