Episode Description
A Q&A on sequencing recorded from the Toronto Yoga Conference! I share quite a bit about my thoughts on abdominal strengthening (core) exercises in yoga classes, as well as when and how to teach pranayama in asana classes. The episode concludes with advice on how to integrate the things you learn in your yoga education into your teaching - especially when you feel like it's different from what you've been doing.
My approach to teaching core strength is at the beginning of class - the "it was all a dream approach" to teaching core strength! I explain why I like this approach, and the only caveat you need to keep in mind.
I also talk about which types of pranayama I might put at the beginning of class, and which I prefer to save for the end and why.
But aside from these specifics, whether you study with me or anyone else who teaches you a method you want to integrate into your teaching, how do you do that when your community is used to a certain approach? We end with some practical advice on doing just that.
