Would you like to practice your hands on skills in a structured and clear way? Join us and learn how to assist your students in a safe and effective way!
It takes skill, confidence and practice to assist your students with hands on techniques while teaching class. The only way to really learn and become more confident is to DO it!
So come practice and play with us and improve your assisting skills during this weekend immersion for yoga teachers. During this training we will be offering the basic principles of hands on assisting and apply them to the flow of surya namaskar A & B and various creative namaskars as well as to intermediate asanas.
We will dive deeper into the energetics, key actions and common misalignments of poses and their modifications. You will learn to observe different students in asanas and you will cultivate an understanding of what to look for as a foundation for safe and effective assists.
Every day we will start with a practice that will include lots of partner work. Namaskars, standing poses, forward bends, backbends and twists will be the focus of this immersion.
