discover the power of intuitive touch and intentional non-physical assists in an immersive training with mobile om founder, Cassandra fauss.
Assisting is more than physical alignment; it’s about connection, empowerment, and attuning to the needs of each student. In this hands-on assisting workshop for yoga teachers, we explore the full spectrum of yoga assisting—from hands-on adjustments to energetic assists and holding space without physical contact.
In this trauma -informed workshop, you’ll gain the tools, confidence, and intuitive awareness needed to safely and effectively assist students while honoring explicit and implicit consent.
Yoga Assisting is a profoundly rewarding experience; it’s an opportunity to be of service to others and witness amazing ‘aha’ moments that happen right before your eyes, or underneath your hands, as you empower transformation in a student’s body, mind and spirit.
Through a trauma-informed approach, Cassandra emphasizes explicit and implicit consent, learning to read both the body and energy to determine when to offer grounding, when to uplift, and when to simply hold space.
Assisting begins within—cultivating clarity, presence, and intuitive receptivity. In this deeply meditative practice, we refine the art of touch while also honoring the power of its absence.
This course is eligible for 20 CEUs with Yoga Alliance.
