I’m in Cambridge, MA attending a Baptiste Power Yoga assisting workshop. Over the next four days we’ll learn how to safely and effectively guide students into poses through hands-on assists and other techniques.
I’ve done assisting training at my studio (and current assist two classes per week), but figure this would be a great chance to learn additional techniques while also reconnecting with friends from my Level 1 and Level 2 teacher trainings this summer.
I arrived last night and immediately went to the 5:45pm class at the Cambridge Baptiste Studio to settle in. Boy was that a hot class! One of the hottest Baptiste classes I’ve taken in fact. It was a great practice, especially after spending all day on a plane.
This morning we started the program at 8am, and went through until 5:30pm or so with a short break. We practiced a bit in the morning (short practice) and had a full practice to close out the day. In between we had a lot of information given through detailed anatomy instruction, practice assists for Sun A and Sun B with partners and some other exercises to help us better connect with ourselves and students.
I’ve already learned several new skills and the energy is super upbeat. I’m also surprised with how many people from my previous Baptiste trainings have come out here. It is turning into quite the reunion! I’m really happy to see such a thriving community of yogis (both Baptiste students and teachers alike) around this practice.
