Intermediate Hands-on Assist Training
23.-24. August 2025, in Cologne
Join me for the second part of our immersive Hands-On Adjustment training—designed specifically for yoga teachers ready to deepen their understanding of physical assists and refine their ability to support students with clarity, confidence, and care. This advanced workshop builds on foundational skills and focuses on key areas where thoughtful, precise adjustments can truly transform a student's experience: backbends, inversions, vinyasa transitions, and a recap of core adjustment principles.
We’ll explore how to offer physical support in these more dynamic and sometimes vulnerable postures, ensuring your touch enhances stability, spaciousness, and safety. You'll learn how to assist students in expanding their backbending capacity with integrity, navigate the energetic demands of inversions, and guide vinyasa transitions with presence and precision.
A highlight of this workshop is a guided backbending class, where you’ll have the opportunity to receive and observe adjustments in real time—a chance to feel into the nuances of touch and warm up your own body for deeper hands-on practice throughout the day.
We’ll continue working with principles of mindful touch, refine your ability to read bodies and boundaries, and give you time to practice and integrate your skills with personalized feedback and support.
By the end of this training, you’ll walk away with advanced tools for assisting your students through some of the most transformative aspects of their practice—plus a renewed sense of embodiment and confidence in your role as a teacher.
This is a space for growth, embodiment, and evolution—ideal for those who have attended the first workshop or already have experience with hands-on assists and want to take their skills to the next level.

The Studio
Where we will meet and practice.
Soul yoga - In the midst of a charming old building with high ceilings, warm wooden floors, and a lovingly designed atmosphere, a space awaits you that invites you to let go. Here, it’s not about performance, but about connection – with yourself, your body, and the present moment.
Our studio is personal, authentic, and run with a lot of heart. It’s a safe space where you can take time for yourself, recharge, and consciously go deeper – on the mat and beyond.
