The Autistic Yogi Reflects on Adjustmens, Assists, Modifications, Human Touch and Props in Yoga

Since getting much more indepth into the acro/partner yoga I have become far more interested in adjusting and modifying in yoga. It definitely always held an intrigue through the years of doing yoga but it was only in the least 3 years that I feel that I was comfortable other people touching me, or at least not being totally side lined by someone else touch because I have a tremendously poor ability in understanding other peoples body language.

So far adjustments have been involved in the 4-200 hour teacher trainings I have been involved in and the smatters of Workshops that I have taken over the last few years. Progressively becoming more and more refined as I discover the essence of the individual and how comfortable I am with others as I approach an adjustment/assist.
