Often it's the details that make our experience; in the context of a yoga class, it's not just about the poses and practices we teach but the WAY we teach them that determines whether our class feels welcoming.
Today host Rachel speaks with Yoga Medicine therapeutic specialist Elena Cheung. Elena shares her tips for creating impactful all-level classes that welcome the wide range of people who attend them. We discuss the little things that shape and color the student experience and yet are easily overlooked or forgotten – including how to kickstart class in a welcoming way, make your focal point relevant to everyone present, use inclusive language and props, and harness the power of simplicity and silence.
Listen in to learn how to make your classes more accessible to all, and let go of the pressure to reinvent the wheel every time you teach.
