How to obtain themes for your class? It is nice to have themes for yoga practice but also allowing space for students to interpret as they need. Letting go of a theme is equally important. Lean Coleman (former facilitator of international yoga teacher trainings and current full-time yoga teacher) speaks to the importance of staying connected and inspired within your own practice.

Quick anatomy refresher! Over this past week I noticed that  in two of the classes I took, both teachers referred to the intercostals!!! It seems like this is trending word in the world of yoga, so lets review it!

I know what an intercostal muscle is and you probably, but what about all of the other students in the room?... 

Have you ever been to a specialty office (doctor, mechanic, computer engineer, etc) and they spoke or explained something in jargon so specific to their profession that you had no idea what they are saying? I certainly have. We are yoga instructors by trade and have knowledge that extends far beyond that of most of our students. I recommend that you keep this in mind as you teach. One of the gifts we have to offer our students as yoga teachers is taking our understanding of complex anatomical and energetic concepts and  then translating them into language that is easy to understand. Even more importantly, into a language that allows the students to feel these concepts within their own body.
