ASSIST TRAINING RETREAT
This October, join Pia Fiato for an immersive 25-hour Assisting Training designed to deepen your confidence, refine your skill, and elevate your ability to support students of all levels through the art of hands-on assists.
To make this experience more accessible, we’re offering the full training at half of the original cost and hosting it locally in Brooklyn at Kala Yoga, eliminating the need for travel while preserving the depth of an immersive learning experience.
You’ll engage in extensive hands-on practice and dynamic group learning, with plenty of space for inquiry and community connection. We’ll focus on building both confidence and comfort through practical application, partner work, and real-time feedback. You’ll explore the power of assisting through the lens of the yogic path, while also addressing the real-world challenges teachers face in both studio and private session settings. By the end, you’ll leave with tools to immediately elevate your teaching, support your students with more intelligence, and deepen your personal understanding of embodied alignment and presence. Most of all, we'll have a ton of fun!
Refine your teaching. Deepen your impact. Join me for the journey.
All participants will receive a 25-hour Yoga Alliance CE certificate upon completion.
