Teaching a Therapeutic Private: A 10 Hour Workshop with Kate Hansen


  • The Portland Yoga Project 129 Newbury Street Portland, ME, 04101 United States (map)

Saturday & Sunday, December 6 & 7, 2025 from 12pm-5pm

with Kate Hansen at PYP-DOWNTOWN

During a therapeutic private we are working with one's personal physiology as a way to help organize, potentiate and harmonize towards individual well-being, ease and joy.

This workshop will focus on techniques that are supportive for both yourself and your client or student.  We will cover adjustments, body reading and how to cater each session in a way that is empowering and helpful for each individual based on their physiology in the moment.

Whether you are simply curious about offering private sessions or have been working with individuals for a while, this workshop will offer you hands-on experience, the confidence to adjust others with safety and techniques that best serve the needs of different scenarios.

We will cover:

  • How to use the Lo-Shu and Katonah Yoga Magic Square as a map of the body and personal orientation

  • Hands on adjustments and approaches for safe and supportive contact

  • Breakdown of frequently used poses along with their adjustments, modifications and ways to evolve each pose depending on the mobility of your student and client

  • Organizing and approaching sessions in a way that prioritizes both yourself and your student or client

  • Working with injuries and those who may have limited mobility

  • Use of props and hands on experience with chairs, straps, blocks, blankets and sandbags

  • Why prioritizing potential and joy is important
