Service Description

WHY HANDS-ON TOUCH MATTERS In a world where so many people go through their day without a single moment of caring, intentional human contact, an assist, in a yoga class or 1-2-1 can be something quite remarkable. A well-placed hand can communicate what no cue can fully capture. It can settle a nervous system, release a held breath, or open a body that has been braced against the world for longer than it can remember. This is not about demonstrating authority or showing students what they're doing wrong. It's about showing them where they may be resisting, guiding them towards their potential and helping them access new layers of their Self. We will cover: - Consent - Looking at a human body through the lens of yoga - Types of touch - Specific hands-on assists for key standing, seated, and supine postures - Using your body and breath to create safety in both student and teacher when working hands on - If time permits, savasana head massage This workshop will be guided by Leanne Jones, a Thai Yoga Massage Practitioner and Senior Yoga Teacher who's been working Hands on with people since 2013. This is a practical and theorethical workshop where we will will work in pairs and groups to practice giving and receieving Hands on Touch.
