Hands-on Assisting Intensive 1

What to Expect...

This intensive programme is designed for yoga teachers that are passionate about enhancing their teaching skills by learning how to connect with students through the healing power of touch. 

Tactile communication can be a highly effective way of translating your instructions directly into the student’s body. The art of assisting, however, is not just about hands-on assists, it is about how you see your students, and how you communicate with them to expand their awareness and their practice. Assists have the power to create more space for our students, more openness, more stability, more satisfaction, more fun or more freedom. Ultimately hands-on assists have the ability to open your students' awareness to what is possible in their practice. 

During this programme you will gain confidence in applying a wide range of yoga assists that can be applied to the Vinyasa system (many of which are transferable to other styles of yoga). Through developing your skill at delivering assists you will enhance your teaching practice as a whole.

In this 2 day intensive you will learn and discover:

• The intention behind your assists

• How to use your body safely and powerfully to assist your students

• How to deliver a wide range of assists using the Vinyasa Power sequence as a base

• How to cue self assists for online classes

• How to encourage prop usage among students as a way to self assist

• How to assist without interrupting the vinyasa

• How to assist a teacher as an assistant and in a team of assistants (option to assist classes at THoY)

Requirements: 

You must have completed, or be on your way to completing, your 200hr Teacher Training and have completed your assisting module within the training.
