Erica,
Right on! As a yoga teacher myself I dig the practice(it is a practice to do this) of teaching using less words ... joint/hip/neck/meds/injuries/comments and personal stories are not of benefit to a group of students mid-class and my intention teaching is to take it inward. The breath will teach them. Solid instruction, definitely but the spaces of silence between a teachers words create space for the student to experience the pose.
Best,

Emily

Hi Erica,

Thanks for the nice articles. Being a yoga teacher myself, I haven't given a thought from this perspective as you have nicely explained in your article. Good food for the thought.

With Best Regards
Barbara

Interesting Post. I have yet to encounter a Yoga teacher who have not advised me on not doing something. Initially I had lot of issues with syncing breath with the exercise and this is the most important thing to remember.

I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don't know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.

Hey Erica, can you recommend a good PVC free yoga mat?
Thanks :)

Hopefully you are referring to new teachers. However, with some people the answer is always way too long. You could also be that.

"What things have you learned NOT to do from your teachers?"

I've been in too many classes where the teacher thinks yoga is a performance art, so as a teacher, I've learned NOT to perform for my students just to try to impress them.

I discern a right or wrong way of instructing from you. Which is fine naturally. However I have recently discovered that there is no right and wrong there is diff. but I know what you mean about people rambling on and on it happens all to often hu...

I also know what it means to discover an SI joint for the first time in body because of the way its just now being described i am able to relate to my own pain in my body and learn from that as well...a class practice would be then to meditate inward...gaze fixed inward...these are the teachings.

please relax the tension you hold in your structure and your postures from expectation.

meditation is not emphasized enough in the world of franchise yoga.
