Making Adjustments - Are Hands-on Assists OK? Pt 2

In the second part of our two-part special on hands-on assists, we go a little bit deeper! We hear how a trauma-informed context may change our approach to assists from Mei Lai Swan, then Amy Wheeler tells us about transference and countertransference and what role they might play when teaching yoga. We learn how culture, race and gender can change perceptions around touch from Jesal Parikh, Gail Parker, Michelle Cassandra Johnson, Tim Seutter and Anu Fox. Finally, we hear some conclusions from Leigh Blashki, Matthew Remski and Dominique Salerno. While creating this episode we gathered over 4 hours of audio, which will be available on our Patreon page for free!
