Art & Skills of Hands-on Assisting


Have you ever wanted to offer a hands-on assist… but hesitated because you weren’t sure how?

A skillful assist can transform a student’s experience of a pose, expand their awareness of what’s possible in their practice, and offer a moment of support that words alone can’t always provide.

You don’t have to choose between avoiding assists altogether and feeling unsure when you offer them.

My Hands-On Assists Training is designed to help you develop the knowledge, experience, and confidence to offer safe, supportive, and skillful assists with intention.

We’ll explore consent and communication, the why behind each assist, who and when to assist, supportive cueing, and how to create an empowering experience for your students.

Bring your questions, fears, and even past experiences that have left you hesitant. You’ll have the opportunity to practice 20+ assists, refine your approach, and leave with practical tools to expand your teaching toolkit.

You don’t need to know everything before you begin. You need the willingness to learn, practice, and become more intentional in how you support the people who trust you to guide their practice.

Let’s bring the art of the assist back into the yoga room—with more skill, more confidence, and a whole lot more intention.

With you on the mat,
