There is an art and a science to hands- on assists in yoga. Touch helps to communicate to the body direction, alignment, and adjustments that verbal cues often do not. Touch can also help assist students to deepen into the ease and calm of their breath, which frees up physical and emotional energy.
This is for teachers and students alike who wish to learn more about alignment and the balance of effort and ease in your yoga practice.
Come prepared to learn:
-Ethical and responsible use of power as a teacher
-Healthy alignment for maximum benefit for most bodies
-Confidence in “reading” bodies, including your own
-Enhance your ability to honor differences in bodies with an understanding of anatomy and psychology
-Practical reasons to touch or not in yoga poses
-The science behind touch
-Technical and applicable ways to assist another in poses
