Yoga and Bodywork Immersion
Do you want to become more confident in using your hands in yoga teaching? Or do you want to understand your body better in your own practice? Over the course of two days, you will learn how to assist and adjust both yourself and others. We combine applied yoga anatomy, hands-on techniques, self-massage and Thai massage.

Hands on adjustments and hands on assist: what's the difference?
Many people use the words interchangeably, but they do not mean the same thing. An adjustment is about helping to change the position or direction in a position. An assist is about providing support, stability or security, so that the person can find more peace or space in the position. During these days you will learn the principles behind both. When you understand the principles, you do not need to memorize a technique for each position. This will make it easier to help both yourself and any participants in your class. You will practice in pairs and groups, so you know the techniques both as the giver and the receiver.
The nervous system and the nucleus
Why does a pose feel different from body to body? Through individual practice and working in pairs, we explore the interaction between the nervous system and the deep, stabilizing muscles around the center of the body. When you understand how the nervous system controls these muscles, it becomes easier to see what provides control and stability in movement.
You learn more about your own body. As you learn to help others, you also see your own practice in a new way. You better understand what is happening in your body in a pose, and you gain tools like self-massage that you can use at home on your mat.
Why join?
- A course that many ask for, but few offer. Many yoga teachers ask: how do you actually teach and help others in yoga? Yet there are few courses that address this very issue. Here you get two full days to learn it, with plenty of time to practice.
- Give your students what they appreciate. Most people know how good it feels when a teacher comes over and helps with a task. Yet few teachers have the courage, or know how, to do it. After the course, you will have the principles, techniques, and confidence you need to do it yourself.
- Development keeps you curious. Without new knowledge, both practice and teaching easily come to a standstill. This course gives you new skills that you can use in the very next lesson, whether you are teaching or practicing for yourself.
Safe touch: consent and boundaries
Touching other people requires safety and respect. We will go over how to ask for consent, how to read signals from the student, what is okay and what is not okay, and which areas of the body to stay away from. The goal is for both you and the student to feel safe.
Who teaches the workshop?
Michael has been teaching yoga at gyms, yoga studios, privately and for businesses for over 14 years.
Before finding his yoga practice, he spent a year in China, where he learned basic Chinese martial arts and was introduced to Taiji and meditation. His yoga training comes from the Yogic Arts system, from which Warrior Flow stems.
In his classes, Michael focuses on breathing and awakening your body awareness. By feeling your body, you learn to anchor your hip joint and become more stable and strong in everything you do.
