Course Overview

Supporting Students Through Touch, Cues, and ConnectionA 12-Hour Training for Yoga Teachers + Yoga Therapist Trainees
Touch is one of the most powerful tools we have as yoga professionals — but it must be used with care, clarity, and consent.
This weekend intensive is designed to expand your toolbox as a yoga teacher or yoga therapist trainee. You’ll learn how to safely and ethically use touch to enhance proprioception, breath awareness, alignment, and healing, while also understanding when not to use it — and how to create the same impact through clear verbal and visual cues.
Led with professionalism and compassion, this course covers:

The ethics of touch and clear consent protocols
Quality of touch and appropriate hand placement
Transference and boundaries in the therapeutic relationship
Therapist safety and longevity: healthy body mechanics
Using precise verbal and visual cues as alternatives to touch
How proprioception and kinesthetic learning support healing

Touch, when used skillfully, can support students with musculoskeletal imbalances, enhance body awareness, and foster a sense of security and connection. You’ll gain the confidence to integrate touch — or know when not to — in ways that honor your students and protect your own energy as a professional.
