Held in Motion

Touch can guide, reassure, awaken awareness, create stability, and help students feel genuinely supported in their practice. When offered skilfully, assists become far more than alignment cues; they become a language of care, presence, and intelligent teaching.

Join highly respected teacher Nicky G for a one-day training designed for yoga teachers who want to build confidence and skill in the art of hands-on assisting.

Whether you are newly graduated and unsure where to begin, or an experienced teacher wanting to refresh after the post-Covid shift away from touch, this training offers practical tools and plenty of hands-on learning.

What you'll learn:

  • Foundations of safe and effective hands-on assists.
  • Reading bodies and adapting for different students.
  • When to assist, when not to assist, and when less is more.
  • Clear consent, boundaries, and ethical touch in modern classes.
  • Hands-on support for common standing, seated, and floor-based postures.
  • Assisting movement and transitions in flow classes.
  • Pressure, direction, timing, and quality of touch.
  • Using props as extensions of your hands.
  • Building confidence, sensitivity, and presence as a teacher.

Why this matters:

Every body is different. Every room is different. Assisting is never about forcing shape, it is about meeting the student in front of you with awareness, respect, and skill.

This training will help you teach with greater confidence, clarity, and connection.
