Why creating a low-pressure environment in yoga class is important

Empower your students with choice and watch them thrive
1

Giving the power back to the individual is one of the best things you can do as an instructor of literally anything. This week, I’m taking on another soft skill of yoga teaching—setting the tone for low-pressure experiments, empowering your students with choice, and watching as they seek joyful trial and error.

The main points here are:

  1. Remind your students of their choices

  2. Lower the barrier to entry

  3. Invite your student into challenge

We’ll also talk setting your expectations, personal boundaries and repetition as an threshold for change. I hope you take ten mins out of your day to give it a listen.
