# Event Details - **Event Name**: The Assisting Lab with Meg Rima - **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 11 Sep, 2026 at 05:00 pm – Fri, 11 Sep, 2026 at 07:30 pm (-05:00) - **Event Description**: The Assisting Lab with Meg Rima Sep 11, 2026 - Sep 13, 2026 A Weekend Immersion in Assisting, Alignment & Presence There is an art to assisting—and like any art, it gets better with practice. Welcome to The Assisting Lab, a weekend immersion designed to help you develop the confidence, awareness, and practical skills to become a more impactful teacher, assistant, and student of yoga on and off your mat. Who it's for Whether you're a current yoga teacher, an aspiring teacher, someone who would enjoy supporting classes as a hands-on assistant, or a dedicated yoga practitioner who wants to better understand alignment, this training is for you. Think less lecture. More laboratory. This weekend is designed to be experiential. We'll explore, practice, experiment, ask questions, receive feedback, laugh, and leave with skills you can confidently apply the very next time you step into a yoga room whether it be as a student, assistant, or teacher. Before we can skillfully assist someone else, we first need to understand alignment in our own bodies. We'll begin by exploring the foundational principles of True North Alignment based on Baptiste Yoga Methodology, experiencing each shape from the inside out and learning what it feels like when the body is supported by strength, stability, and ease. From that foundation, we'll build layer by layer, learning how to observe movement, offer clear and effective verbal cues, and finally incorporate thoughtful, hands-on assists. You'll develop the confidence to guide students with precision, purpose, and care while opening new possibilities for both your students and yourself as a teacher. Throughout the weekend you'll both give and receive assists, because experiencing an assist is just as valuable as learning to offer one. You'll discover that every skillful assist begins with being present and truly seeing the student in front of you. From there, you'll learn to support safe alignment in ways that create greater awareness, stability, freedom, and confidence. Most importantly, you'll experience assisting as an act of service, helping students feel connected, supported, and empowered in their own practice. The Promise of the Program You will be taught the principles of True North Alignment as the foundation for your practice and your assists. You will learn and practice verbal, directional, and hands-on assists for more than 50 yoga postures, from the beginning of class to Final Savasana. You will gain practical experience giving and receiving assists, both in a workshop setting and in the flow of a full yoga class. You will have a new experience of connection with others and of being of service. Let's elevate the yoga experience together, for you and for those you serve.
