The art and science of Hands-on Assists is called Yoga Sparshana. It is part of yoga history to have competent and effective knowledge of adjusting your students so that energy can be freed up. Please join Michael for this fun and informative weekend workshop to explore the art of Hands-on Assists. Exploring partner assists, alignment assists, as well as feel good assists, we will also play a bit with organic sequencing and theming. This isn’t just for teachers, but for serious students who want to immerse themselves totally with inspiring community and invigorating practices. Leave the weekend with practical resources to strengthen your confidence in alignment and technical skills, as well as being able to trust your intuition in “reading” body energy.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES: 
  • Consent (techniques like utilizing cards to indicate their current wishes)
  • Assessment of their foundation and their unique concerns
  • Stabilizing assists
  • Breathing with them while holding the assist
  • Alignment strategies that favor function over form

This course is open to all levels, and is not exclusive to those who are seeking Yoga Alliance credit. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to our Programs Coordinator via email at [email protected].
