“There is magic to touch that is the very thing that draws many people to a yoga class in the first place. Through hands-on-assists we have the potential to convey information very clearly, directly, without words. Touch can accelerate progress. Touch can provide directional cues, help identify and release unconscious resistance or tightness, increase awareness and help diminish pain.” …… from Yoga Assists by Sharon Gannon & David Life
Working with older adults and people with a variety of concerns, I add that TOUCH can bring comfort, support, caring, understanding and love.
