Sound familiar?

Teaching the body without fully knowing it.

You verbal cue everything.

There are moments in class where words just aren't enough, and you know it.

You want to assist, but hesitate.

Fear of doing it wrong, or hurting someone, keeps your hands at your sides.

You teach other people's bodies.

You haven't fully mapped your own yet. The disconnect is real, and it shows.

What is CET HOA?

More than a technique workshop.

"CET Hands on Assist is about learning to read bodies, including your own, and using touch as an honest, safe language."

Over 5 intensive days, you go deeper than cues. You understand the mechanics behind movement patterns, learn a consent first approach to touch, and walk out with a toolkit that changes how you teach, and how you feel in your own body.

For teachers

Go beyond verbal cues. Know when, where and how to use your hands, safely and powerfully.

For practitioners

Experience what your body is actually doing. Get tools to feel it more clearly, in any class.

Is this for you?

Two kinds of people leave changed.

For teachers and assistants

Yoga teachers who want confident hands

  • You've completed a YTT but feel under prepared to assist
  • You teach mixed level classes and need context appropriate contact
  • You want a clear consent framework, not just intuition
  • You're ready to become the teacher students remember
For practitioners and movers

Movers who want to know their own body

  • You have a consistent practice but feel something's missing
  • You want to understand what your body is actually doing in poses
  • You're considering teaching one day and want a head start
  • You're curious about movement anatomy without the textbook

Not the right fit if you have no movement background at all, or you're looking for a formal anatomy certification. This is hands on, experiential learning. Some prior practice in yoga, movement or bodywork is assumed.

The 5 day journey

One principle per day. Practised the same day.

Each day builds on the last. You learn a principle in the morning and apply it with your hands in the afternoon.

  1. Day 1Wed 2 Dec

    Foundations: the language of touch

    "Touch as communication, not correction."

    Consent framework, the 3 intentions of assist (Support, Redirect, Awaken), body reading basics, proprioception self assessment. Afternoon: neutral assists in Tadasana, Warrior I and II.

    Consent based assist in 3 standing poses

  2. Day 2Thu 3 Dec

    The lower body: roots and foundation

    "Everything above follows what's below."

    Hip, knee and ankle mechanics. Common patterns: anterior pelvic tilt, knee valgus. Afternoon: assists in forward folds, lunges, Pigeon and Lizard.

    Identify 2 to 3 lower body patterns and targeted assists

  3. Day 3Fri 4 Dec

    Core and spine: the central highway

    "Protect it. Don't perform it."

    Spinal anatomy simplified, the core as a canister, breathing mechanics. Afternoon: twist assists, backbend assists from Cobra to Wheel, and red flags.

    Safe backbend and twist assists without overcorrecting

  4. Day 4Sat 5 Dec

    Upper body, shoulders and inversions

    "The most powerful assists happen here."

    The shoulder complex, wrist conditioning, reading mobility. Afternoon: Crow, Side Crow, and spotting headstand and handstand at the wall.

    Safely spot an inversion without substituting for strength

  5. Day 5Sun 6 Dec

    Integration: teaching the teacher

    "The best assist is the one the student no longer needs."

    Assist decision tree, sequencing ethics, feedback fluency. Afternoon: mini teach back, group feedback and closing practice.

    Your personal assist toolkit and teaching fingerprint

What changes

Before and after the 5 days.

Ragu mau assist karena takut salah

Tahu kapan dan bagaimana menyentuh dengan tujuan

Ngasih verbal cue yang sama ke semua orang

Bisa baca tubuh dan respond sesuai kebutuhan

Ngerasa disconnect sama tubuh sendiri

Punya bahasa baru untuk ngobrol sama tubuhmu

No consent protocol, guessing each time

A clear, practised framework before your hands move

Inversions feel too risky to assist

Confident spotting with clear contact points and exit

Your instructor · @movementrecode · @rickysaputra

Hi, I'm Ricky.

I built this program because I spent years teaching from my head, not my hands. I knew the cues. I knew the alignment principles. The moment a student needed something words couldn't give, I hesitated.

CET Hands on Assist is what I wish I'd had in my first years of teaching. It's built on Movement Recode principles: the body learns through sensation, not instruction.

I'm deep in my own handstand journey right now, and everything I learn about my body's blind spots makes me a better assistant. I share that process publicly, including the plateaus and the falls.

Questions

Before you commit.

Do I need to be a certified yoga teacher to join?

No certification required. What matters is a consistent movement background, such as yoga, Pilates or bodywork, and a genuine interest in working with bodies. The cohort is small so everyone gets real hands on time.

Is online participation as valuable as in person?

The morning theory sessions translate well online and are fully livestreamed with recordings. The afternoon hands on labs are where in person matters most, especially Days 2, 4 and 5. If you can only come in person for 3 days, choose those.

Do I need prior anatomy knowledge?

No. We teach anatomy through the body, not through diagrams. If you know what a hip flexor does because you've felt it, that's more than enough.

Will sessions be recorded?

Theory sessions are recorded and shared with all participants through a private library you keep access to. Hands on labs are not recorded, for privacy.

Does this count toward Forrest Yoga 300 Hours?

Yes. CET Hands on Assist is part of the Forrest Yoga 300 Hour continuing education program, and earns credit hours toward the certification.

Can I pay in instalments?

Yes, for IDR payments: 2 × Rp 7.500.000 or 3 × Rp 4.500.000. Email rickysaputra.id@gmail.com to arrange.

Can I join from outside Jakarta?

Yes. Online participants join every theory session by livestream. For the hands on labs, they work with a partner at their own location, guided by Ricky. In person is strongly recommended if you're in the region.

What is the refund policy?

The refund policy is being finalised. Message us on WhatsApp or email rickysaputra.id@gmail.com before you book and we'll walk you through it.
