Elevate your teaching through intentional touch

As yoga teachers, we guide through words, presence, and, when appropriate, our hands. A well-placed assist can offer clarity, stability, and space, helping students experience an asana more deeply and safely.
This training gives you the tools to assist with confidence, precision, and respect. Designed for teachers with a 200-hour training, this program strengthens your ability to read bodies, understand what an asana asks for, and offer clear, grounded support.

Curriculum

Trust, intention & consent
Learn how to invite and honour consent, recognise when an assist adds value, and read alignment and movement patterns to guide your choices.
Communication beyond words, explore assists as a form of communication through presence, breath awareness, quality of touch, and clear professional boundaries.

Practical assisting techniques
Learn and practise assists for key postures commonly taught in Vinyasa classes. Techniques are demonstrated, broken down, and repeated to become familiar and embodied.
Includes physical and energetic assists, safe directions of movement for major joints, and how to combine verbal cues, props, and touch effectively.

Applied teaching practice
Give and receive assists throughout the training to understand how touch is experienced and how to adapt your approach to different bodies and abilities.

Why this training matters
Hands-on assists can:

• Build deeper connection with your students
• Reinforce alignment and functional movement
• Support safety, confidence, and growth
• Strengthen your presence and clarity as a teacher

You’ll leave with a practical toolkit and the confidence to integrate hands-on assists into your classes immediately and responsibly.
