Hands ON!


  • Metta Yoga 835 4th Street San Rafael, CA, 94901 United States (map)

Saturday Jan 8: 11:30am-5pm

Sunday Jan 9: 12:30-5pm

This weekend immersion workshop is for teachers, those who have taken yoga trainings, and committed yogis interested in pursuing future trainings.

In class, a hands on adjustment is called an assist. The word "assist" is sued to communicate the idea that in yoga there are actually two beings interacting together on various levels of consciousness to foster a decrease in avidya, "mis-knowing," and an increase in vidya, or the "knowing" principle.

A yoga assist is an action taken in a microcosmic relationship that reveals macrocosmic truths.

The giving of asana assists is an art. Yoga assists are not static; they comprise a flowing dance of body, breath, and energy. They are based on continuous focus and awareness of the relationship between partners in the process.

In this weekend immersion you will learn the power and beauty of this relationship. You will come away with new hands on skills, a deeper understanding of the asanas, yoga philosophy, and teaching techniques.

Space is limited to 20 students.

$300 for full weekend.
