The Art of Delivering Assists

The Art of Delivering Assists

This two half-days intensive program will equip you with the tools to powerfully and effectively assist a Baptiste Yoga class. Assisting is the ultimate act of service in the yoga classroom. As an assistant your job is to make connections with the students through skillful, intentional assists. You will study True North Alignment (TNA) and how to effectively create this alignment in your student’s bodies through hands on assists. You will learn at least one, or more, assists for every pose in Journey into Power (the Baptiste Yoga sequence). You will engage in discussion about best assisting practices and how to avoid common assisting pitfalls. You will learn & practice the Actions of Artful Assisting (AAA). During Day 1, you will master the content of TNA and AAA and practice common assists. On Day 2, you will put your new skills into action and assist a yoga class.

Program is facilitated by Certified Baptiste Instructor and FIT to Lead graduate Michelle Bass.

Who is this Program for?

This program is for EVERYONE. If you teach, it will up level your teaching and connection to the students 100%. If you practice, this program will get you in tune with your own body to find your fullest expression in every single pose.

A Message to our Summit HOME Family:

We are writing to share some bittersweet news with you about our Summit location. Unbeknownst to us, a large construction project next door has been in the works for quite some time and we only just found out that the project will not allow us to operate and run classes.

With the extremely short notice we’ve had, we've worked extensively to see if it was possible to change or work with the presented circumstances. We met with our landlords, the landlord on the project, as well as the involved construction company. It was agreed upon by all that due to the nature and noise of the construction and its proximity to our studio, it would make it very challenging to deliver our yoga classes for 4-6 months at the minimum and at the maximum for over a year. Furthermore, we weren't provided any solutions that would allow us to make the situation workable, even temporarily.

Additionally, we have had multiple conversations with the Zoning Officer, Director of Downtown, and Mayor of Downtown Summit. While all have been sympathetic, we're told there isn’t anything that can be done to salvage our studio at 463 Springfield Ave.

We are absolutely heartbroken by the circumstances and in having to inform you that our current Summit studio will close, starting on Monday, February 19th.

With that said, we believe that all hardship is an opportunity to grow and we are extremely excited for what is to come next. We are already working on creating a new space for you in Downtown Summit - bigger, and better than before. We are aiming to re-open in the next three months, and will keep you posted every step of the way.

Taking care of you and this community has always been, and will continue to be, the most important thing to us. That is why we designed the following options for our Summit-only members (those who take all or almost all of their classes at the Summit location) during the interim period when our studio closes and the new studio opens:

To use at our Cranford location & livestream/prerecorded classes. We are adding more classes onto our Cranford location (including 8:30AM classes Mon-Fri) to give you a super full schedule with many options! If you choose this option, we will add $125 to your account to use on anything you like!

With this option you can cancel anytime and we will issue a full refund for unused time/classes (and you will forfeit your bonus from us).

To take advantage of these options,

In the body of the email, write either: “Keep Membership", “Freeze Membership” or “Cancel Membership”.

If we do not hear from you, we will automatically freeze your membership or package on the date our studio closes until our new space is open.

Thank you for all of your understanding and unconditional support. It’s because of you all that we are going to rebuild and come back better than ever. Please come see us before we close & come celebrate with us when we reopen.

Looking forward to all good things to come.

Love,
Liz & Katie
