Downward Dog
front press
Learn how to apply pressure with clarity and intention by reading tissue response in real time. This assist introduces how contact location and direction of pressure influence both structure and sensation.
Child's Pose
Sacral Press

This Work Starts with Tissue Literacy
Hands-on work isn’t just about where you place your hands.
It’s about learning to listen through them.
The Rubber Band Method® teaches a system for understanding tissue response, applying pressure safely, and choosing contact points based on anatomy — not habit.
This creates hands-on work that is more effective for your students and more sustainable for you as a teacher.
