A Matter of Care is a NEW 40-hour program for working, qualified Yoga teachers. 

If we consider an adjustment relates to an anatomical or alignment-based alteration to work with the biomechanics of the body to move towards a particular expression of a particular posture.

An assist is intended to support or inform a student's experience in a pose, to come into a profound relationship with that student, understanding that we ourselves will be informed in the meeting. An assist invites an embodied experience of being within this moment's expression of the asana.

This course offers the chance to profoundly enrich our movement experiences and reflect on how we choose to share these learnings. We will learn new material and gain knowledge and understanding of how we move. It offers a fresh approach to HOW we learn through the body and in the cells, an emerging pedagogy in the field of yoga.

This professional training is designed for yoga teachers and, in some cases, teacher trainees. However, it can be inspiring and educational for everybody, including those working professionally with movement or therapeutically with infants, children, or adults (physiotherapists, craniosacral therapists, yoga, Pilates, Qigong teachers, and dance therapists, for example).

“Approached in an embodied way, touch can be a subtle and deep path for communicating with others and ourselves. We can listen with touch, we can communicate and connect through touch, and we can support others and ourselves through touch.” - Bonnie Bainbridge-Cohen
