Objective: Practice the Entire Yoga Sculpt Class and Learn Assists
Principles of Assists:
The Basics of Assisting:
Waiver: if you plan to assist in your class, you must offer a waiver to give students the opportunity to opt out of being touched - offer waiver in child's pose to maintain confidentiality
Types of Exercise Assists:
Overall: I did not attend this seminar because I was sick. I feel like I will have a hard time assisting due to the fact that there is just so much going on and I will be having to move someone while also talking and keeping the class moving forward -- this is the one concern I have with moving forward with assisting.
