Want to promote body autonomy in your classes but aren’t sure what that looks like? Featuring Dr. Libby Hinsley, this episode covers ways that yoga teachers may be unintentionally hindering body autonomy for their students and strategies for making your classes a self-empowering space for your students.

  • How yoga teachers might accidentally interfere with body autonomy.
  • Authority and power differential dynamics in yoga classes.
  • Why hands-on assists should be approached with extreme caution - and alternative teaching methods that achieve the same goal.
  • Inquiries to help you develop your own approach to body autonomy.
  • The interplay between autonomy and perfectionism.
  • The types of cues that are best for encouraging body autonomy (and what cues should be used more sparingly).
  • How silence supports body autonomy.
