The Art of Grounded Touch: Hands-On Assists for Vinyasa & Shavasana

The Art of Grounded Touch: Hands-On Assists for Vinyasa & Savasana

A 90-Minute Practical Lab for Yoga Teachers 

Hands-on adjustments should never feel forced, disruptive, or mechanical. When offered with clear consent and grounded body mechanics, tactile cueing can elevate your student’s practice and create profound moments of release.

Designed for newer teachers looking to build foundational touch skills or experienced instructors seeking a fresh, trauma-informed perspective, this 90-minute interactive lab breaks down touch into simple, repeatable techniques:

• The Rules of Engagement: Clean consent models, opt-in practices, and teacher body mechanics to protect your back and wrists.
• Dynamic Flow Assists: Supporting students through Sun Salutations (Down Dog pelvic traction, forward fold decompression, and transition stability).
• Savasana Release: Techniques for gentle occipital traction and shoulder grounding to help students drop into deep nervous system rest.

Come ready to move, partner up, give, and receive.

• Prerequisites: Open to all 200-hour+ yoga teachers and current YTT trainees. Eligible for YACEP continuing education hours.
