✨ Assisting Skills & Techniques with Ray & Meng ✨

Join us for a five-hour assisting training focused on intentional, consent-based physical touch in yoga spaces. This workshop emphasizes safe, supportive assisting techniques with ample time for hands-on practice.

Alongside technique, we’ll explore grounding practices, key anatomical concepts, common fears around assisting, and the benefits of skillful touch. Thoughtful assisting can deepen connection and support a student’s experience of practice. This training is designed to help you feel confident, attuned, and respectful when offering hands-on support.

Whether you’re new to teaching, returning to assisting after time away, or refining your approach, this workshop offers a grounded way to reconnect with the art of supporting students safely and skillfully.

This training may also serve as a first step in becoming Practice Support, a new studio role coming to River & Stone in Fall 2026. Practice Support assists studio classes through optional, gentle hands-on support under the guidance of the lead teacher.

For those interested, we’ll offer additional trainings and mentorship to support your growth into the Practice Support role.

More details coming soon.

River & Stone is expanding 🤍

Beginning March 2026, we’ll be opening an additional upstairs studio just two doors down from our current space, above Altea’s Eatery.

This expansion gives more space to the full spectrum of yoga - stillness and strength, inquiry and movement.

Our upstairs studio will be a home for slow, reflective, and integrative practices, study, workshops, and teacher training.

Our original downstairs studio will continue to hold movement-forward practice - flow, strength, and heat.

One community. Two spaces. Two rhythms.

We can’t wait to welcome you upstairs & downstairs 🤍

More details coming soon.

🧭 what is your why? 🕯️

🌱We're excited to announce the first workshop of River & Stone Yoga Institute, which is featured in our Year of Study, but open to all!

🌀The theme for opening the year and inauguration of the Institute is fitting. Join Steph for Living with Purpose: Yogic Approach to Meaning and Motivation.

🧠RSYI is comprised of our 4 Schools (Wisdom, Mind, Body, Heart), and this is housed in our School of Mind. There will be a blend of Western psychology principles and yogic wisdom, offering practical tools for living.

📝An afternoon of meditation, discussion, journaling, and light physical practice. 🧘‍♀️

Together, we’ll explore:

✨ Clarifying your core values

✨ Connecting values to daily habits

✨ Moving through challenge with steadiness

✨ Using yoga as support in times of struggle

💫And then—the next level of practice is learning how to live it. We hope you'll join for this afternoon of inspired conversation and movement.
