Synergy In Teaching at BYS Yoga

When teaching, it pays to be clear and succinct - coordinating verbal and physical cues resulting in intelligent instruction. This allows a student to experience a pose fully, at multiple levels and with courage. As teachers, and as students, we gain confidence through better understanding the actions and energies in the body and how they can be transferred from pose to pose through thoughtful sequencing.

This workshop highlights the exchanges between teacher and student focusing on several important actions in poses. We will discuss the main lines of energy in the pose, explore verbal and physical adjustments to accentuate the energy, and coordinate prop use and sequencing to highlight the actions.
