Learn the art of supporting students through hands on assists.

Perfect for any Yoga teacher needing a refresher or wants to learn how to assist yoga poses in a class setting, or student looking to deepen their understanding of the alignment and energetics of yoga postures.In this two day course, through lecture and hands-on assists, you will learn how to assess if a student could use an assist, how to ask permission, how to safely enter and exit the students space, and most importantly to help you feel confident in supporting your students.
