The Language of Touch

Intro to Hands-On Assisting for Yoga Teachers

Join Jessica Rockwell at Luna Power Yoga for THE LANGUAGE OF TOUCH: AN INTRO TO HANDS-ON ASSISTING. (Earn 3 Continuing Education Hours w/ the Yoga Alliance upon completion.)

Every assist is a conversation between teacher and student. Together, we'll explore the foundations of safe, effective, and meaningful hands-on assisting. You'll learn when to assist, how to approach students with confidence and simple effective techniques you can begin integrating into your classes immediately.

Whether you're a new teacher looking to build confidence or an experienced instructor hoping to refine your touch, this workshop will offer practical tools, thoughtful discussion, and plenty of hands-on practice in a supportive environment. Open to yoga teachers of all experience levels.

We'll explore:

 The philosophy of touch and why it matters
 Consent, safety, and creating trust
 The right time to assist + types of assists
 Body reading
 Functional assists for common postures
 Partner practice and real-time feedback

Perfect for:

 New yoga teachers
 Teachers looking to refresh or refine their assisting skills
 Anyone wanting to feel more confident using touch in their classes

Leave with practical tools, renewed confidence, and a deeper understanding of how intentional touch can transform the student experience.
