Ep 140: Incorporating Different Movement Modalities: Is It Still Yoga?

If you're a yoga teacher who wonders whether incorporating strength training, joint control work, myofascial release, or movements borrowed from other disciplines means you are no longer teaching yoga, then this episode helps to reframe that question entirely. Rather than asking whether other modalities are allowed, the question asks whether you can articulate the reasoning behind what you're including in your classes. When we think of yoga as a whole practice, we realize that it's much more than the asanas you teach. This episode helps you realize the intention behind your teaching choices, which is a better way to determine whether it's still yoga that you're teaching.  What's The Real Question?What Other Modalities Can Offer In Your SequencingPurpose: What Is Yours?Remembering the Other Limbs of YogaGoing Forward: Questions to PonderFree ResourceDownload the free Sequencing Made Easy guide, which will offer you a clear, practical framework for building classes that are accessible and well-structured so you can stop thinking you need to start from scratch every week.Sequencing Made EasyClick HERE to send me a text & let me know your thoughts on this episode!
