For this workshop, we will focus on both physical and verbal assists as well as alignment-based cues for some of the most common yoga postures. We will take the time to work with our intuitive senses, the importance of confidence and hand placement, and always asking permission before touching another person. We will learn the proper hand positions, entry, and exit when giving an assist, safety for both the teacher and the student, and spatial awareness. Some of the other topics covered include using your voice and language as an assist, as well as the use of props to help deepen a yoga practice. There will be a section in the training that acknowledges and discusses special populations. We will also study the connection of assists with the essential elements of yoga and how assists can deepen and enhance one's physical practice.
Session runs Saturday and Sunday, 12:00pm-7:00pm.
