Hands-on Assists

Master the Art of Hands-On Assisting

Touch is a language of its own—and it is a powerful way to connect with students and help them progress in their practice.  Becoming masterful at giving assists requires confidence, the ability to 'read' a student's body, and practice. This training includes learning:


The Language of Yoga: Speak with Purpose. Teach with Clarity.

As a yoga teacher, your voice is one of your most powerful tools. The words you choose—and how you deliver them—can transform a student’s experience on the mat. In this training, you’ll refine your verbal communication skills to speak not just to your students, but into their bodies and awareness.

We explore the art and science of cueing:

The Power of Theming: Inspire from the Inside Out

A well-chosen theme can turn a good class into a meaningful journey. It gives your teaching depth, direction, and heart—guiding your students not just through movement, but toward reflection, intention, and self-discovery.

In this training, you'll learn how to weave themes seamlessly into your classes—from the physical flow to the final rest. Whether drawn from yoga philosophy, nature, personal growth, or everyday life, a theme can serve as an anchor for the body and a mirror for the mind.


  • How to choose authentic, relevant themes that resonate with your students

  • Methods for subtly integrating themes into opening words, movement, and closing reflections

  • Tying breath, body, and intention together to embody the theme—not just talk about it

  • Using storytelling, metaphor, and personal insight to create emotional resonance

  • Keeping your themes grounded, accessible, and free of clichés or spiritual bypassing


Themes don’t need to be complicated—they need to be true. Whether you’re teaching about grounding, letting go, resilience, or compassion, you’ll learn how to speak from the heart and invite your students inward, giving them space to connect to something greater than the posture.


Advanced Vinyasa Sequencing Techniques

Advanced Vinyasa Sequencing Techniques

  • Safe, skillful hands-on assists for advanced and foundational poses

  • Techniques to support alignment, energy flow, and breath awareness

  • Adjustments that empower students rather than correct them

  • Learning when not to touch and how to offer equally potent verbal cues

  • Consent-based approaches that create trust and safety
  • Use the unique AYS class sequencing blueprint to create cohesive classes

  • Create a ladder flow sequence

  • Create a 'sandwich' sequence

  • Create a mandala flow sequence

  • Build sequences that safely lead into arm balances, backbends, and inversions

  • Use theme, breath, and energetic arc to guide the experience

You’ll practice sequencing not just for complexity, but for impact—creating classes that challenge the body, engage the mind, and move the heart.

  • How to give clear, concise instructions that land effectively in the body

  • When to be directive, when to be invitational, and when to be silent

  • How to sequence your words just like your poses—for flow, rhythm, and impact

  • Using inclusive, empowering language that welcomes all bodies and identities

  • Integrating sensory language, breath cues, and philosophical themes in real time


You’ll learn to guide with more than just your voice—you’ll learn to guide with your presence, your pacing, and your intention.

Whether you're leading a dynamic vinyasa class or a quiet closing meditation, this training will help you develop a voice that is authentic, effective, and inspiring—one that holds space, sets tone, and invites transformation.
