The Language of Touch — A Workshop on Hands-On Assists
with Anne Ethier
Saturday, September 25th, 1:00 – 4:30 pm EST

Come prepared to learn:
- Ethical and responsible use of power as a teacher
- Healthy alignment for maximum benefit for most bodies
- Confidence in “reading” bodies, including your own
- Enhance your ability to honor differences in bodies with an understanding of anatomy and psychology
- Practical reasons to touch or not in yoga poses
- The science behind touch
- Technical and applicable ways to assist another in poses
