Hands-On Assisting Training
19 - 21 April 2024
Following up on her Hands-On Assisting workshop of last Spring, join Lisa for this first 20-hour Hands-On Assisting Teacher Training at The House of Yoga.
In groups of 2 or sometimes more, you will rediscover familiar yoga poses as well as poses coming from Katonah Yoga with the help of props and the leverage of another human body.
***
Yoga is often a solitary practice. However, by practicing posture adjustments we learn to rely on others and to trust, while communicating with them. Through these adjustments we establish a dialogue through contact, we feel and understand in our feet, in our hands what may be happening with the other.
Adjustments are meant to take you to places you would not go to by yourself, there is no goal of making the pose better, “correct” or to go deeper in the pose. Think of it more like a conversation as opposed to a monologue: a way for you to be in a pose without using so much strength, to make it more rich and fluid, to use your eyes, your hands, props and language to make the experience fuller.
In this training, you will be introduced to fundamental concepts with regard to physical touch in a yoga space and will be provided with the opportunity to practice different adjustments on different bodies. This is a key component because all bodies are unique, feel different and will respond in their own way.
By the end of these 20 hours you will walk away with:
- A sense of how to adapt different adjustments to different bodies
- A more confident touch
- A clear idea of how to communicate with your words and hands
This training is primarily intended for yoga teachers or aspiring yoga teachers, but can absolutely support anyone working in the area of bodywork or just practitioners who are curious to further develop their yoga practice.
