THE ART OF TOUCH • A weekend of Yoga Assists; with Diana Capitão

You'll explore how to offer safe, effective, and respectful touch in yoga asana, using intelligent alignment, breath awareness, and intuitive presence. The approach is rooted in the Jivamukti Yoga method, but applicable across all styles of teaching.

This is a practical training where you'll gain real, usable tools — not just theory — to refine your teaching and offer assists that are both skillful and heartfelt.

• Yoga teachers & teacher trainees

• Teachers looking to refresh or refine their assisting skills

This workshop is led by a Certified 375h Jivamukti Yoga teacher who shares her knowledge and passion for assisting with clarity, integrity, and presence.

You'll be learning from someone who has worked extensively with different Jivamukti Yoga signature classes and sequences, and who is committed to supporting teachers in building confidence and sensitivity in their touch.

Diana was born in Portugal and has a background in arts, music, dance, theatre, architecture & design. Within a lot of different professional activities she's also the co-creator/co-manager of "The Seed" studio.

Having practised for 20 years, trained (and lived) in India (+200h) and also certified by the Jivamukti Yoga method (375h), she's been teaching in India, UK, France and Portugal since 11 years now.

She fell in love with Yoga since the very beginning but it was after an injury, while strengthen and balance the mind & body with the help of Yoga, that the practice have transformed me on so many levels - She feels a strong sense of responsibility to share it, which initially inspired and continues to inspire her to teach.

One of her main principles is: "Yoga is not only a physical practice but a spiritual one where the practitioner dives deep in the study of the Self and learns to attain a higher level of consciousness."
