The Art of Restorative Assists: Skills Training with Alex Bauermeister and Brenna Matthews

Join Alex Bauermeister and Brenna Matthews for a day of hands-on assisting training with a focus on restorative yoga poses. 

Through partner practice, giving and receiving feedback, presentation, and discussion, you'll deepen your skills in offering trauma-informed yoga assists that focus on nervous system regulation, grounding, and relaxation. 

Whether you're looking to bring restorative assists to group classes or private clients, you'll gain wisdom around:

• What supports trauma-informed, consent-based, healing touch (and what undermines it).

• Sustainable body mechanics & energetic awareness to take care of yourself while taking care of others.

• Specific alignment-informed assists applicable to restorative yoga postures. 

Please come with some previous exposure to restorative yoga postures, but no previous bodywork or yoga teaching experience required.

Find connection and embodied presence in this partner yoga workshop — live in-person, livestream on Zoom, or via recording. Designed for partners, friends, roommates and/or family members who are able to safely share physical space with each other.

Yoga Therapist Alex Bauermeister will guide a gentle sequence of beginner-friendly partnered yoga poses and some assisted restorative poses to exchange grounding touch and nervous-system-soothing touch.

You’ll move together, breathe together, and reflect on the experience together with Alex's verbal prompts.

WHEN | Sunday, 2/13 11-12:30pm EST
This workshop will be hosted with a hybrid model — in-person at JP Centre Yoga, or virtually live through Zoom, AND will be recorded and shared with all registrants, with unlimited access for 7 days. So even if you can’t attend the live event, you can use the recording on your own schedule.

Join Alex and an amazing group of yoga colleagues for THRIVE: 6 months of business coaching and therapeutic skill building to find your footing as a yoga therapist / therapeutic yoga teacher. Find your niche, find your clients, and find a sustainable business model that nourishes you. This program is specifically designed for current (or aspiring) yoga therapists, as well as therapeutic yoga teachers interested in trauma-informed and somatic approaches with individual clients.

Alex holds a Master of Business Administration and started her own yoga therapy business in 2013. Over the years, she has seen many yoga therapists invest thousands of dollars and hours in training, only to flounder when it comes to the tricky world of yoga entrepreneurship. THRIVE is a small group coaching program to inspire each other, learn from each other, and push each other to expand our zones of comfort towards meaningful action.

Each session will feature tools, concepts, and business development practices, while keeping space for what’s current and emergent within the group. Alex will facilitate Q&A, individualized mentorship moments, group connections, and offer additional resources as well as homework.

We will meet virtually, bi-weekly from January 31st until June 6th. Meeting times are every other Monday from 1-2:30pm Eastern Time (which is 6-7:30pm London Time). Engaging in the live sessions is ideal, but each session will be recorded and available for two weeks so that you can tune in at your own pace.

1/31, 2/14, 2/28, 3/14, 3/28, 4/11, 4/25, 5/9, 5/23 & 6/6

Special flow & restore class, held virtually via JP Centre Yoga. Whether you need more flow or more rest, Alex will offer options so that you can meet yourself where you’re at, no matter what the day holds.

Please note: this class is livestream only because #covidtimes. It was originally scheduled both in-person and livestream.

Join yoga therapist Alex Bauermeister – in person or via Zoom – for a gentle practice that blends restorative yoga, meditation, and trauma-informed mindfulness. Together, we will cultivate space for metabolizing physical, emotional, mental, and energetic stress, to emerge refueled, rebalanced, and reinspired. This is a practice of self-care to bring forward our most resilient selves, in service of our own wellbeing, and the wellbeing of our relationships and communities. 

This class is appropriate for many levels of experience and ability, including beginners and those who struggle to access stillness and relaxation in a fast-moving and guarded world.

ABOUT ALEX’S TEACHING STYLE | Restorative yoga uses gentle, floor-based, prop-supported poses with long holds (5-12 minutes per posture). Alex provides options and variations in her teaching so that you can personalize your practice to the needs, realities, and preferences of your body and nervous system. This includes your own creative license to stay in poses longer, leave poses sooner, to add more movement or sensation, and to substitute poses. Practice will end with meditative self-reflection so that you can take some wisdom off your mat and into day-to-day life.

HANDS-ON ASSISTS | Alex will distribute consent cards so that in-studio participants can indicate whether they’d like to receive assistance in poses. This can include prop set-up help, as well as Alex placing blankets on students to offer nervous-system-soothing pressure and containment. 

DATE AND TIME: Friday July 16th from 6-7:30pm Eastern (or via recording, avail. 48hrs)

HYBRID EVENT | This hybrid workshop will be both in-person and via live-stream. The recording will be available for 48hrs for all participants.
