Team time
A couple of weeks ago we came together as a teaching team for a hands-on assists training led by our boss lady .
We explored what assists are for, what feels good, what doesn’t, what’s appropriate, and most importantly, how consent, communication and presence sit at the centre of it all.
Assists have become a bit of a funny thing in yoga. We do them far less than we used to, and for good reason. When they are offered, they need to be intentional, optional, and genuinely supportive - never assumed.
At Kind choice always comes first. That’s why you’ll see our little yes/no assist cards in the studio, a simple way for you to let us know what feels right for you on any given day.
Huge thanks to Han for holding such a thoughtful, practical and open experience. It’s always really lovely spending time with team Wild and Kind. If you have any questions about hands-on assists in yoga, please reach out! We’d love to know your thoughts ✌️
Grateful for this team
