This workshop is designed to help yoga teachers feel more confident in offering gentle hands-on assists and adjustments. (Students currently enrolled in a 200-hour yoga teacher training are also welcome.) Students will learn the difference between assists and adjustments as well as when, why and how to offer them. We'll discuss qualities of touch, practice hand positions, and learn how to keep our own bodies safe and aligned while offering assistance to our students. Finally, we will learn and practice specific feel-good assists and alignment-based adjustments for the most common yoga postures. Registered yoga teachers can earn 6 hours of continuing education with Yoga Alliance.
Space is limited. Preregistration is required.
We will take a one-hour lunch break.
