I believe that all of you who have read this article today are destined for yoga. Maybe your purpose of practicing yoga at the beginning was not to become a yoga teacher.
But with in-depth practice and study, at a sudden moment, It was natural to embark on the path of yoga teaching , and becoming a yoga teacher also means more in-depth and lasting learning!
But as a yoga teacher, you will face a variety of student groups, and they may have various problems?
For example: How should you design an exercise sequence for students with waist injuries, lumbar disc herniation?
What should students do if they have knee pain and cannot squat down?
How should we guide students who are always unable to keep up with their breathing in class and are easily upset and irritable?
These problems should be rarely encountered when you go to learn yoga teaching and training, so your own value-added after completing the teaching and training is particularly important! The continuous improvement of your teaching level also means that your students can further improve their practice level!
Perhaps some yoga teachers think that to teach yoga, as long as you can recite the instructions and have a few fixed class sequences, it is enough! But yoga is so vast and knowledge is so profound!
Unchanging passwords and class sequences will only limit you to a framework, like a frog in a well! The export for external exploration is missing. Each student has his/her specific needs, and it is difficult to meet the physical needs of each student with a fixed sequence of postures!
So today, the editor will give 3 suggestions to all teachers. Let’s see if it will help your own yoga improvement!
You must be familiar with human anatomy
As a yoga teacher, you must be familiar with human anatomy. You must know which muscles are involved when students acromion have impingement, limited arm lift in mountain pose, and lumbar pain when bending forward. Something went wrong?
How to quickly find out the cause and solve it in a targeted manner! No matter how proficient you are in postures and commands, it’s useless. Teaching yoga without anatomy is just a hooligan! Recommended study: sports anatomy , this book!
Solve different needs for different students
When taking a group yoga class, you may find that some students are not good at practicing certain postures, or some students are very impatient and can't calm down. At this time, you should remember the students' problems and walk to them after class. Beside him, first ask him how he feels in class, then talk about his problems and tell him how to adjust them!
A lot of self-added value
The value-added mentioned here is not to blindly participate in some famous teacher workshops. The value-added mentioned here is to rate your teaching results in the previous period at regular intervals!
You can ask yourself: What have my students gained from recent courses? What did I change about them? In what aspects have I improved? Do I often ask students if they have any suggestions for my course?
I think yoga is really an art with a long history. It is really a blessing to be lucky enough to come into contact with yoga, explore yoga, go deep into yoga, and fall in love with yoga!
As a yoga teacher, we must remember: Bring the spirit of yoga from one hour in the classroom to the other 23 hours in our lives, then your yoga path will definitely be more exciting!
