143: Should You Talk About Current Events In Yoga Classes??


Listen Later

You don't need me to tell you what a wild and scary time we are living through. We know that the tools of yoga can be incredibly supportive in difficult times and also have things to say about the difficult times we are living in.

So are you talking about this in your classes? Should you?

I am, and I've been getting a lot of questions about it! So today's episode is going to dive deep into this question: Should you talk about current events in your yoga classes?

In this episode you'll hear:

  • some questions to ask yourself to help you decide how to navigate this

  • how your students and their needs should be taken into account

  • how I handle this in group classes

  • how I handle this in private lessons

  • an example of a physical theme /dharma teaching pairing that addresses current events

Resources:

  • My virtual yoga studio

  • My teacher's community
