Hands-on Assisting Intensive 2

What to Expect...

Assisting Intensive II builds on the foundations gained in Assisting Intensive I. This programme is the next layer in your hands-on assisting tool kit. 

Assisting, at its heart, is an exchange of energy; a communication between student and teacher. It is a practice of seeing and hearing our students, often without an exchange of words. It is up to us to create a space of support and safety so that exploration and curiosity can flourish. At its best, assisting can bring insight and joy to the most ordinary spaces of our yoga practice.

In this 2 day intensive you will explore how to intuitively, playfully and creatively adapt assists to all bodies and all levels. 

Through a deeper understanding of the body and the energetics of assisting you will discover new ways to be of service, to bring empowerment and possibility to your student’s practice.

In this 2 day intensive you will learn and discover:

• How to use your whole body creatively to assist your students
  
  
• How to use props more creatively as a teacher
  
  
• How to help students find ‘their’ yoga pose in a 1-1 circumstance (i.e. private client, workshops or trainings)
