TIMES: 12:30-4:30pm

WHERE: Wrentham & Norwood Studio

PRICE: Early bird price $250 *sign up by 9/30* // Regular price $300

Gale is thrilled to offer her Art of Assisting Workshop at Universal Power Yoga!

How, who, and when to assist was a controversial topic even before the pandemic hit. Now, as we emerge from this time of physical distance, disconnection, it’s more important than ever to consider what is appropriate as we pass yogic knowledge to our students in the form of touch and hands on assists.

Enhance your skills as a teacher and join me for an 8 hour assisting immersion where we will explore and discuss current principles of assisting yoga asana. You will have an opportunity to practice assisting many of the poses offered in the classes you attend and/or teach. In this interactive learning forum you will give and receive real time feedback from Gale and the other students to your comfort level.

**Must have a completed 200-hour certificate in order to enroll.

"I'm so glad that I chose UPY for my Teacher Training"

Within the first hour of UPY teacher training, I knew my life was about to change. I could've never imagined the profound impact that this experience would have on me—from a deeper understanding of the practice and myself, to the bonds formed with the teachers and the other trainees. It is hard to put into words how grateful I am for this training.

-Jessica, 200-Hour Teacher Training Graduate

"I loved every second of the program."

The UPY Teacher Training really focused on building confident teachers. I feel prepared for anything in my yoga career! Now I'm teaching yoga at multiple studios and I love it! Sharing yoga with others is so rewarding and fulfilling. I am forever grateful for my teacher training experience."

-Casey, 200-Hour Teacher Training Graduate
