Why might touching your students be inappropriate at times?

A student may experience touch as a traumatic reminder of a previous trauma, resulting in overwhelming emotions, intrusive memories or dissociative flashbacks.
The Yoga Teacher may use touch as it’s more expedient than encouraging the student to have their own internal experience.
A Yoga Teacher may use touch out of a desire for the postures to be performed in a particular way, and this can take away from the student’s empowerment.

Using Consent Tokens to communicate consent before touching.
All of the above.

What are some guidelines for offering hands-on assists?

Give thoughtful consideration to whether a hands-on assist is really necessary and in the best interest of the student.
Don’t touch your student’s genitals or breasts, or touch your genitals or breasts against your students.
Always ask consent before a hands-on assist.
All of the above.

What is the recommended way to use Consent Tokens in a class?

Place the Consent Tokens at the front of the room, and the students can take one if they want one.
Place a token with the YES side up on the student’s mat, so they have to consciously make the choice to refuse touch.
Place a token with the NO side up on the student’s mat, so they have to consciously make the choice to consent.
None of the above.

Correct!

Not quite. Try again.

If a student indicated that they would like a hands-on assist at the beginning of class, either verbally or with their Consent Token, then changed their mind later in the class, what is an appropriate response?

Continue with the hands-on assists anyway, they already indicated their consent and it’s not realistic for the teacher to keep up with all the changing needs of the students.
Deeply respect their choice, and don’t use hands-on assists at that time.
Never offer hands-on assists to that student again, even if they let you know they would like a hands-on assist at a later time.
All of the above.
