While it’s true that we can’t cater to all of everybody’s needs all the time in everything we do, we can still increase our inclusivity. Doing anything is better than doing nothing.   

Remember that our bodies are unique anyway, so by simply increasing the variation or adaptability of the things you offer, you can increase the number of people who feel represented in your classes.   

In order to decide what kinds of options you can choose for the content of your classes, we need to return to a default mindset of ‘Who might this class/instruction/question be challenging, impossible or traumatic for? Why? How can I avoid that?’   

Let’s dive into ways of including everybody and every body when teaching English yoga classes while we analyse health conditions, femininity and beauty standards.

Inclusivity is a hot topic among yoga teachers. We’re becoming aware of gender, identity, body image, race, ill health and abilities. But, I miss hearing about "us". Our cultural differences based on continents, countries, languages and religion.  

In this chat I'll share ways to be more aware about the religion your students may follow and how to acknowledge it in a respectful manner. How the country your students live in might cause you to exclude them. And, how we can prevent that words are 'lost in translation' or miscommunicated!

Learn how Natalia moved from Chile to the States, rolled into the world of yoga, became a teacher and started her own multilingual yoga business to spread inclusive yoga and help other teachers do the same!

_______________________________________________________________________________________ 

Natalia is a Body Positive 500 RYT yoga teacher and Journalist. She was born in Chile and now lives in San Francisco, CA.   

After feeling left out and unseen in yoga classes, she decided to create Yoga for All Bodies™, an inclusive and accessible practice based on choices to meet and enjoy your body where you are today. She loves Yoga props and in all her classes offers variations (not modifications, because everything is a 100% Yoga), using them!  

She truly believes that you don’t have to be slim, young, flexible, or strong to live and own your yoga practice! That’s why she always says “Your body, Your practice".  

You can find out more about Natalia in her IG account @YogaforAllbodies and website https://yogaforallbodies.com/

Today we’re speaking about 5 common mistakes (new) yoga teachers make. As you know, we can only learn and teach from experience and so sometimes it’s necessary to make mistakes. To be honest with you, I believe mistakes are one of the best ways to learn and integrate new skills and knowledge.   

This chat helps you analyse your teaching techniques and create awareness around the language you use in class. They’re things many of us do/have done, myself included, but recognising and fixing them will help you become more compassionate and effective yoga teachers.   

During our Teach Yoga in English workshop series, I’ll dig deeper and teach you how to avoid these mistakes and what you can do instead. This is a series of 4 workshops series that focus on the development of yoga teaching skills including building a sequence and how to cue effectively, but also how to find your voice and structure your own offerings such as workshops, rituals or a class schedule.   

You can find more info about it here: https://engaunite.com/teachyogainenglishworkshopseries/ 

But today is all about creating awareness and analysing your own teaching style so far. Let's dive in!

There’s a lot of confusion about what yin yoga actually is and the true advantages of practising it alongside a yang-type practice.  

In this episode Annchen from @yoga_with_annchen shares her experience with teaching yin to multilingual speakers and why this practice is so beneficial for overall health!

About Annchen:

South African, based in Granada (Spain), my passion is to share what yoga has brought me with others. I started practising yoga eight years ago as a way to build up strength and I discovered that the external change also brought an internal one, helping me to become less anxious. Yoga is now an integral part of my life, helping me to face up to my fears, to be more confident and calmer.

As each person’s body is different, I’ll show you how to adapt the postures to your unique body, rather than adapting you to the postures. So, the emphasis for each posture is on the aim or the function e.g. to stretch your hamstrings, rather than what it looks like, the aesthetics. I’ll give you the tools to practise confidently on your own. But it’s not just about what you do with your body,  it’s what we do with our mind. Passively stretching and holding postures for several minutes, stills the body, slows the breath and quietens the mind.
