✨ I hate hearing this, and I hear it WAY too oft

✨ I hate hearing this, and I hear it WAY too often. ✨

The number one reason people don’t try yoga classes is that they’re intimidated. The unknown is scary and they only have IG posts and magazine covers to go by “what yoga is.”

Legit problem.

So as a yoga teacher, you decide to offer a Beginner’s Workshop and remove at least one barrier for the curious & intimidated.

Cool, cool.

Said curious & intimidated get brave enough to walk through the door (the hardest f**king part) only to find out the workshop is vinyasa-focused with lots of upper body work *cough*chaturangas*cough*

Yoga teachers, if this is you, STOP IT. That is not a “Beginner’s Workshop,” it’s an “Intro to Vinyasa/Ashtanga Yoga Workshop.”  

And the curious & intimidated have had their worst fears confirmed and will be 10x harder to convince to try yoga again.  

Here’s what the intimidated want in a beginner’s workshop:  

*Learn how to reconnect, love, and listen to their bodies through BASIC postures. 
*Learn the names of postures and experiment with how their individual bodies approach and respond to postures. 
*Learn BASIC deep breathing using their diaphragms. 
*Learn the BASICS of relaxation and meditation. 
*Learn what to expect in different styles of yoga so they can appropriately choose which class suits their needs and personality. 
*Gain BASIC skills and knowledge so they feel comfortable participating in group classes.  

Do you sense a theme here? Cause you know I’m all about themes 🙃

Rant over.

💐 The inspiration for our theme this month in the Yoga Sequencing Society is BLOOM 💐

It's a verb that means to open; come into flower; blossom; to flourish or grow; to be in a healthy, glowing, or flourishing condition.

With spring, everything comes to life and goes from dull and drab to lush and vibrant. Trees, plants, and flowers bloom, bringing renewal and color with them.

Nature isn't the only thing blooming, people do, too. We come out of our own dormant times, throwing off the heaviness of winter, and welcome the lighter, brighter days of spring.

Stayed tuned as I share a quote from the lesson and unveil the asanas focused on as we honor the theme BLOOM 💐

Of you can join YSS and get access to it all now and use the resources to teach the rest of your classes this month.

✨ 5 Stretches Using a Yoga Strap ✨

I'm a little late posting these as we've already moved into a new month and I'm already working on a new theme.

However, a lot of February was lost to 2 separate colds 😭 but I'm all better now.

If you've been shy or intimidated about introducing straps in your yoga classes, start with these 5 super-simple stretches. They're perfect for all levels.

And you can get 4 more suggestions when you visit my blog or check out the video on YouTube.

Or you can join the Yoga Sequencing Society and get the full yoga class along with the script for centering and final relaxation 💥

Did you frown when I mentioned the word ‘prop?'

Did you frown when I mentioned the word ‘prop?' Cause some people view props as a sign of weakness.

However, as one of my students and now friend says: “Props aren't for P*ssies.”

That became our battle cry and we joked about getting it printed on t-shirts because, SERIOUSLY, props are the most underutilized tool in physical yoga.

I'm sharing in my blog this week all about the mighty yoga strap, a prop I rank in the top three behind the yoga mat and block.

And everyone can use props regardless of their flexibility. Props make postures more accessible and safer.

Go check out the blog to find out more about the yoga strap and you can incorporate it more in your yoga classes
