The Art of Assists

2027 dates coming soon at Portland Yoga Collective

The assisting landscape has changed in recent years — this program meets the moment by emphasizing a present-day, evolving approach to consensual touch and support in your yoga classes.

Join Casey for a 10-hour training focused on the foundations of hands-on assists to offer support in Vinyasa, Yin and Restorative classes. Supportive touch is a complement to verbal teaching to enhance a student’s felt sense and understanding a pose. Expect to learn assists for core yoga poses with the skills and techniques to physically and energetically assist postures safely and confidently. You will establish your own personal code of ethics for consensual assisting in your yoga classes, developing skillsets that are immediately applicable upon the completion of this training.
