Take the guesswork out of hands-on assists. Build the confidence to know when, where, and why to adjust.
Hands-on assists can be one of the most rewarding aspects of teaching yoga, but they can also be one of the most intimidating. Knowing how to support a student with confidence takes more than learning where to place your hands. It requires understanding the purpose behind each adjustment, recognising when an assist is appropriate, and adapting your approach to the individual in front of you.
The Art of Assisting Collection is a comprehensive training designed to help you develop practical, confident hands-on teaching skills through 12 in-depth modules covering some of the most commonly taught yoga postures.
Each lesson focuses on a single pose, exploring alignment, biomechanics, common compensations, hands-on assisting techniques, prop variations, contraindications, and teaching considerations that you can apply immediately in your classes. Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all approach, these lessons will help you make informed decisions based on the needs of each student.
