Testimonials
"
The Rubber Band® Method has completely transformed my experience as both a yoga teacher and a student. Learning this method has opened my eyes to the profound impact intentional and purposeful assists and adjustments can have on students during their practice.
As a newer yoga teacher, I was eager to offer a more hands-on experience for my students, but I struggled to understand the purpose behind hands-on assistance. When I received assists as a student, it often felt awkward and left me questioning their necessity. Having been in the fitness industry for a long time, I value alignment and the importance of offering purposeful guidance in my classes. When Kiara used the Rubber Band Method® to assist me in a class, I finally experienced what I had been searching for. Her execution of the method was remarkable. Her hands-on approach was confident and intentional, and I could feel the strength, opening, and power coursing through my body with each assist. Her presence felt safe and, in that moment, I knew I wanted to learn from her.
Since incorporating the Rubber Band Method® into my teaching, I have noticed my classes filling up more and receiving positive feedback from my students about the depth the assists bring to their practice. I believe every yoga teacher could benefit from understanding and implementing this methodology, as it has the power to truly enhance the student's experience and create a deeper connection in their practice.
