Communicative Touch
In this course you will deepen your understanding of common yoga postures through informed and communicative touch. We will explore how to offer adjusts and assists that are beneficial to the yoga student, heightening the professionalism and overall experience for the student in your yoga class. There is a lot of information that can be conveyed with touch, whether it is a simple sparkle touch, an adjustment to help bring awareness to your student’s alignment, or with a deeper, longer, juicy adjustment.
This 16 hour training provides yoga teachers with the opportunity to connect with their students on a deeper level, both physically and energetically. You will leave this training feeling more comfortable and confident to offer physical adjustments to your yoga students in every type of class you teach.
