Hands-On Assists Yoga Teacher Training
Advertisement
Join Deven & Guests for a Deep Dive!
Touch can be most powerful tools a yoga teacher has — and one of the most underused. If you've been trained to assist but find yourself holding back, second-guessing, or skipping it altogether, this weekend is for you.
Over three transformative days, you'll go from uncertain to confident — turning hands-on assisting from something awkward or interruptive into a seamless, meditative part of your teaching. Elevate your comfort, confidence, and clarity with hands-on assisting to deepen student trust, strengthen connection and increase retention in your classes.
This weekend is for current yoga teachers or 200 hour graduates.

• Integrating hands-on assists seamlessly into live classes
• Explore explicit consent, clear boundaries and Brahmacharya
• The meditative quality of touch: mindful entering, assisting, and exiting
