Essential Conversations for Yoga Teachers ·

2025/03/03

You want to create a safe and inclusive space for everyone who walks into your classes. But when a student is dealing with an injury, it can feel overwhelming to know how to support them. Do you resort to telling them, “Do what feels right for you”? This is a valid suggestion to offer, but have you ever yearned to actually help them or address their needs in your class? Questions like: How do I assess their needs? What questions should I ask? andHow do I know when to refer them to a heal...

Essential Conversations for Yoga Teachers ·

2025/02/17

You either love Half Pigeon pose or you hate it!! Which is it for you or your students? It can be a powerful hip opener, but it’s also a pose that begs respect for the body’s limits. Understanding the pose on a deeper level (more than anatomy and general alignment) and adding in the biomechanics of the pose, helps us practice and teach it in a way that honors our students’ unique bodies and needs. As teachers, we must understand the complexity of Half Pigeon pose, because we are placing...

Meditation is a practice of focusing the mind to regulate your nervous system by reaching for a state of mental clarity, emotional calm, and overall awareness.

Essential Conversations for Yoga Teachers ·

2025/01/27

Is it winter where you live right now? While the cycle of the seasons is more apparent in certain parts of the world, winter brings its own unique challenges: shorter days, colder temperatures, and a natural tendency for your body & mind to slow down. In Ayurveda, winter is a season dominated by Vata (cold, dry, and light) and Kapha (heavy, slow, and damp). As yoga teachers, now is the time for you to create classes that honor this seasonal energy while addressing common winter imbal...

Shoulder injuries make me think of a lack of range of motion and overhead shoulder movement. I've been reflecting on a few times when I had shoulder issues myself and couldn't lift my arm overhead. Frozen shoulder was by far the worst because it was persistent pain over an extended period of time, which of course affected my personal practice and my every day life. When I think back on it, all of my shoulder injuries occurred in my right shoulder. So it's fair to say that my right
