Inclusive Yoga Cueing, How to Teach Every Body Type


Listen Later

As yoga teachers, we all want to say the “right” thing in class. The perfect cue. The one that lands in every body.

But here’s the truth: there isn’t one cue that works for everyone.

In this episode, Brea shares 3 universal cues for yoga teachers that support every body, every style, and every level. These are not rigid anatomical commands.

They’re awareness-based cues that build autonomy, connection, and sustainable movement in your classes.

If you’ve ever wondered:

  • How do I cue for all bodies?
  • How do I make my classes more accessible?
  • How do I teach with confidence without over-talking?
  • This is for you. With over two decades of teaching experience, Brea walks you through the shift from memorized, lineage-based scripting toward a more anatomy-informed, functional approach to yoga teaching.

    You’ll learn:

    • Why there is no “one cue to rule them all”
    • How to invite autonomy into your classes
    • How to reduce hierarchy in your teaching
    • Why awareness is the heart of yoga practice
    • Simple cues that deepen connection without overwhelming your students
    • These cues work in downward dog, trikonasana, warrior, standing poses, seated work, and beyond. They help you teach less and guide more.
