Offering a fair, conscious, and appropriate adjustment is an art that deeply transforms the posture experience. Far beyond just the form, it allows for guiding the body towards greater ease, freedom, and understanding.
This training offers an immersion into the world of physical adjustments and the use of tools and props, in order to guide with precision, safety, and presence. Through an approach that is at once technical, intuitive, and creative, you will develop concrete tools to refine your perspective, enrich your teaching, and support each body in its uniqueness.
Methodology
The training combines theory, demonstrations, practical explorations, and pair work. The approach is interactive, promoting integration through direct experience. Intuition is central: you will be invited to develop your own sensitivity in the art of adjusting, respecting your own pace and that of others.
The art of adjustment
Physical adjustment is a form of language, a dialogue guided by accurate observation, listening, presence, and the intelligence of the gesture.
It allows for:
Friday 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.
Saturday & Sunday 8am to 5pm

International Guest, France
Lisa discovered yoga in New York in 2012, an encounter that marked the beginning of a deep commitment. For four years, she lived and practiced in New York, Portland, and Melbourne, nurturing an open and diverse approach to movement. In 2016, she returned to New York to train in the Yoga Works method, developed by Maty Ezraty, Chuck Miller, and Alan Finger, where she refined her understanding of alignment and teaching. She then deepened her Ashtanga Vinyasa practice in Mysore, India, the birthplace of this tradition. Driven by constant curiosity, Lisa continues her training journey around the world every year, notably in sound therapy, as well as in adjustment techniques and Thai massage.
Lisa teaches a precise, vibrant, and committed yoga, inviting everyone to explore their practice with respect, joy, and intuition. Her teaching is based on careful observation, conscious breathing, and a practice of just touch, which is subtle, reassuring, and deeply pedagogical. Her sequences are nourished by her background in dance and circus arts, particularly contortion and balance, offering an approach to yoga that is both rigorous and embodied.
“ This training was much more than just learning… It's a whole new approach, another way of feeling and transmitting! A change of perspective that transforms the practice from within.”
“ As a yoga practitioner and teacher, I randomly chose this Yoga weekend with the intention of allowing myself to go "further" while learning new adjustments to implement in my classes. Expectations met: plenty of advice and adjustments... but, to my surprise, much more than just practice. Three super enjoyable and exhilarating days spent with Lisa. I'm not fortunate enough to have a teacher, guru, reference, or guide, but these three days were the discovery of this super yoga teacher whom I didn't know: attentive, kind, strict (in the best way!!) when needed, gentle yet strong, calm, focused, present! Going into a pose means aligning but above all breathing, and as a yoga teacher, Lisa was able to accompany and guide me while respecting my personal practice and habits. She masters the art of touch, as well as her well-honed pedagogy which, throughout this weekend, maintained great adaptability for everyone. My body thanks yoga for existing, and my heart thanks Lisa!”
“ This course is very knowledgeable in its approach to others, with respect, accuracy and precision, in complete safety, on postures, through an inherent knowledge of what directs each tension and stretch towards vital strengthening and flexibility. Bravo Lisa!”
