Hands On Assists
Join us for a fun and informative weekend workshop designed to deepen your skills in the art of hands-on assists. Whether you’re looking to refine your teaching toolkit or simply gain more confidence in guiding others, this training will help you develop clarity, precision, and presence in your touch.
We’ll explore:
• Alignment Assists – supporting students in discovering safe and effective posture.
• Feel-Good Assists – offering grounding, relaxing, and nurturing touch.
Throughout the weekend, we’ll also explore how to offer assists during flow-based practices, and how sequencing through the body’s seven loops can inform where and how to support your students.
Key Learning Points:
• Practicing consent and communication with every assist.
• Moving with grace and ease, staying present in your own body as you support another.
• Assessing foundations and unique concerns to personalize your approach.
• Using breath to guide timing and depth of assists.
• Honoring alignment principles while respecting individual variation.
This workshop is open to yoga teachers and dedicated students alike. Expect a balance of practice, discussion, and plenty of hands-on exploration. Come ready to learn, connect, and have fun as we refine the art of skillful, heart-centered assists.
