From Uncertain to Unshakeable A Weekend Hands On Assist Training for Yoga Teachers (Early Bird)

Welcome to your two-day, hands-on training for yoga teachers who want their assists to feel clear, grounded, and confident.

This weekend is designed for teachers who have felt moments of hesitation in the room and are ready to step into steady, attuned presence. Across two full days you will learn how to read bodies with sensitivity, communicate clearly through touch, and support your students while staying fully anchored in yourself.

This training blends energetic awareness, subtle body reading, nervous system steadiness, breath timing, and clean physical technique.

You will learn how to offer assists that feel respectful, intentional, and safe. You will also develop the awareness to sense when someone needs grounding, when they need support, and when to step back.

The mornings focus on theory, orientation, and the internal skills that make assists feel trustworthy. The afternoons focus on real practice. Expect partner work, round robin drills, cuing while assisting, and consistent feedback so your confidence grows with each repetition.

This weekend is for teachers who want to move from guessing to knowing. From feeling unsure in their hands to feeling unshakeable in their presence. You will leave with clarity in your touch, steadiness in your timing, and a deeper understanding of how to support an entire room without losing your own center.

What to expect

• Clear teaching on presence and nervous system literacy

• Energetic anatomy and how to sense grounding or expansion

• Consent frameworks that feel natural and human

• Breath timing for safe, appropriate hand placement

• Partner work for standing, seated, and restorative shapes

• Guided practice for heart openers, backbends, and supported postures

• Cuing while assisting without losing awareness of the room

• Energetic hygiene practices before, during, and after teaching

• Sixteen hours of education that integrates both understanding and real experience

This training is built with a strong emphasis on safety, attunement, and respect. Assists are treated as invitations, not corrections. Consent is ongoing and always honored. Your inner steadiness is as important as the technique itself, because students feel your presence long before they feel your hands.
