Join Marge Allen (E-RYT 500, YACEP) at The Yoga Dojo for a 15-hour exploration of the art, ethics, and application of hands-on assists. We open the weekend with a deliberately assist-heavy Rocket vinyasa class, inviting you to experience hands-on assists from the student’s perspective before reflecting on what you noticed, remembered, and felt. From there, we unpack the who, what, where, when, why, and how of consent, communication, safety, anatomy, and intelligent touch.

​

This program uses a standard Rocket vinyasa sequence as the root for study (but don't worry if you aren't familiar with the all-levels Rocket sequence!). The weekend will feature lectures, inquiry, demonstrations, and hands-on practice; participants will work with every member of the group, gaining experience adapting assists across different bodies, abilities, proportions, and levels of experience. Together, we’ll explore not only how to assist, but when, why, and whether an assist is appropriate, culminating in an opportunity to practice 1:1 with a fellow trainee during a  public class at The Yoga Dojo.

​

Whether you’re a seasoned teacher, newly 200-hour certified, returning to the classroom, or dusting off your teaching hat after a hiatus, come get curious, open to learning, and get dive into the art of intelligent touch. You’ll be In Good Hands.
