Saturday 25th and Sunday 26th October 2025
9.30 am - 17.30 pm
As an astanga teacher for 17 years Jo has spent thousands of hours assisting students of all ages, shapes, sizes and abilities, not just in the astanga classes but in all other styles of classes in her studio as well. She also teaches many observation and assists workshops as part of her yoga teacher training programmes, as well as mentoring her teaching assistants in her mysore room. As deals with many injuries in her yoga therapy clinic.
In this CPD weekend workshop the aim is to help you further understand how to develop all the different aspects of learning to assist a student well, verbally and physically if required and consent is present. We want you to leave the session feeling more confident in your ability to look at each of your students individually, after all they all have very different bodies, and levels of experience, and be able to confidently enhance your students experience of asana practice by tailoring the assist to their unique requirements. At the end you will be given a cpd certificate for 14 hours of CPD.
Amongst many things we will cover:
- observing skills, how to really look at the students from an anatomical perspective so that you can make the correct verbal or physical assist for them,
- help you understand where the student needs length or space in their body to promote good alignment and to enhance the breath,
- how to use your own body weight to make the assist as effective as possible for the student whilst keeping them and yourself safe,
- how to help students adapt when they are dealing with injury.
Jo is a senior registered teacher and teacher trainer with Yoga Alliance Professionals. She is also a 550 hour Minded Institute Yoga Therapist.
