From there we will explore the subtler aspects of hands-on assists, learn to identify relationships to blueprint asanas and practice the hands-on transmission with each other in a variety of asanas. The intention of this workshop is to empower you with both knowledge and confidence and to stimulate your sense of intuition and awareness in your own embodied practice.
