​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Assisting Workshop with Iwona

at Leap Yoga Studio in Folsom

March - April 2025

ASSIST WITH SKILL, SAFETY & CONFIDENCE

Have you thought about deepening your knowledge of yoga poses or finding answers to some questions about your personal yoga practice? How is your spine aligned? Are your feet and knees aligned in poses? Are your shoulders protected through proper alignment? Are your muscles engaged?

In this hands-on workshop, you will learn the basic principles of how anatomy and alignment work together in each pose, and you will get a chance to be the giver and receiver of gentle pose alignment. You will have the opportunity to learn corrective, supportive, deepening, and directional assists for a wide range of poses. You will learn foundational skills that will advance your personal practice and develop the art of "reading" bodies and assisting students with confidence.

You will learn about:

• Basic elements of skeletal anatomy
• How to evaluate a pose and assist
• The lines of energy in the body and how to access them in any pose
• How to effectively & safely assist and support students
• What makes a pleasant assist experience

Lymphatic Flow is all about detox!

This practice is designed to unblock and enhance your lymphatic system in the entire body. Every practice involves a 15 minutes lymphatic self massage and a set of seated and supine poses each held for up to 2 minutes. Blood & lymph fluid circulation stimulating breathwork. Some core work and muscle contraction poses for the support of one directional lymph flow. The class always ends with the legs rising against a wall and a 6 minutes guided savasana, to relax and transform your lymph into a flowing, sparkling stream that cleans and drains the stagnant ponds of your body—strengthening your immune response and revitalizing your whole being along the way during the colder months of the year.

This class is done primarily on the floor (can be in a chair) with support of props. This class is not heated and is appropriate for everybody.
