71: The Lost Art of Hands-On Assists in Yoga with Allie G. (Part 1)

In this first episode of our 4-part series on yoga adjustments, Reika sits down with fellow teacher Allie G. to explore what hands-on assists mean in today’s yoga world. They discuss the evolving language around “adjustments,” the role of consent, and how their own teaching experiences have shaped their approach. Whether you’re a yoga teacher rethinking your use of touch or a curious student, this conversation unpacks the complexity of a topic that’s often glossed over.You’ll also hear what’s coming up in future episodes—from the different types of hands-on techniques to how our understanding of adjustments has shifted over time.Connect with Allie:Website: ⁠www.hathamood.com⁠IG: ⁠@alienjg⁠ Free classes: on ⁠Youtube Connect with Reika:Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@reikayoga⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.reikayoga.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Decolonized History of Yoga Workshop (5/17, Sat 2-4pm pst)Nicaragua Yoga Retreat: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.reikayoga.com/pages/retreat⁠⁠⁠⁠
