  • Ouch man, try to look at it like this.... outside the big city there is evil and I am the lesser of two evils. I am under no delusion that I deserve the honor of teaching people yoga.

  • Mix it up! I like it when each class is a little different. I also like to concentrate on breathing and i find that more difficult when the class is more demanding. So, I would teach a moderate class with some variety...

  • Thanks, my inclination is to teach them 10 poses and get them to learn to keep their shoulders away from their ears, push their sit bones up, curl their toes towards their torso while while extending the balls of their feet. It is hard for these people to even sit up straight in a crosslegged pose (semi lotus).

see all

  • Sorry, but a self-taught yogi who's never taken teacher training has no business teaching yoga. Not to be mean, but someone could hurt themselves by doing something wrong. You might try a relax deeply - restorative class in which you use props and gravity for all the poses.

  • Heyyyy... i busted one of my buds walkin down the street with one those 'mats' tucked under his arms, and he was wearing flip flops.. He tried coverin that mat thing over his head, but i recognized him already.. Anyway he's been real into it and shit, and i'll hit him up, and tell him to post what he knows etc...

  • Say beginer, intermediate and advance. Breathing is essential in yoga. But since you are concerntrating on Hatha yoga breathing in Shava asana at the end is enough. The rest look in a book and choose a program.

    When instructing first show the students what the asana is. If you can't do all of them perfectly, show a copy of the asana in an overhead or a video. Then get the students to do it watching you or the video. contd on 3 of 3

  • 1 of 3: It seems to me as if you are trying to reach a widely different types of people. You can't do it with one course. Yoga is so much. What you need is help to organize the course.

    You are the instructor. So you have to decide what you are going to teach them, without mixing too much into the program. First decide how many classes the course is going to be, then the duration of each. Categorize the course. Without this you are not going to get anywhere. contd on 2 of 3...

  • Thank you! That is exactly the kind info I am looking for.
