Show Notes

Teaching yoga beginners fills even many experienced yoga teachers with dread! You want to keep the class flowing for the non-beginners, you want to make sure everyone is safe, you want to make sure no one feels stupid by not understanding something... Meanwhile you're doing all your normal teaching stuff like making sure the music isn't too loud, getting your rights and lefts bang on, remembering what's next in your sequence, and so on

In this episode, we'll cover some tips and tricks to bear in mind to keep you focused and keep your beginners safe. We look at:

  • Instructions and cueing 
  • Use of props
  • Sequencing
  • Demo-ing 
  • About you

This episode is accompanied by our free workbook, to help you transform your classes in to thoroughly considered, beginner friendly classes. Get your workbook from yogahero.co.uk
