Touch

A New Approach To Assisting

20hr Teacher Training

Touch is a powerful tool of communication.
 

A tool that has the potential to create a more fluent teaching language that integrates kinaesthetic learning to the visual and auditory skillsets.

 

This training teaches you how to integrate touch into your classes with clarity, respect, and anatomical integrity. A touch that is invitational and not imposing. Prescriptive and not a one-size-fits-all universal assist. A realisation that hands-on assisting is a dialogue and conversation, not a monologue or firm directive.

 

We will explore the importance of consent, what it is and how we have the duty and responsibility to approach touch with care and intentionality to create a safe environment for your students.

 

Feel confident to use the powerful healing modality of touch in your yoga classes.

 

This course will cover:
 
  • Trust building exercises and the nature of consent
  • 4 different styles of assists
  • Multiple techniques: the how, why, and when
  • Explore hand placement, pressure, entry, exit and energetic direction.
 
Facilitators:

 

You have three diverse guides on this training. Lead Physiotherapist Triton Tunis-Mitchell brings an anatomical understanding to your touch. Adam Whiting brings years of experience facilitating advanced assisting trainings worldwide, and Annabel Saies, bringing a yoga therapy lens and a decade of personalised training practice.
