TRANSCRIPT
When a beginner cannot access a posethe teacher must ask themselves…
is it lack of ability or lack of body awareness?
This is very tricky because often beginners do not know this answer yet and cannot provide feedback.
How can we, as teachers, help them with this?
YOGA IS…
...a state of being.…an awareness of the authentic self.
When that awareness comes, we can radiate our true nature –
that which already is.
Yoga is not the asana……it is the residue that is left in the wake
of the practices associated with yoga.
BEGINNERS…...are a large portion of our student population.
…come to class with low body awareness.
..work so hard in the postures that they need
continued cueing to stay in the practice of yoga not simply the in the asana.
…are new to the philosophy.
…like all of us, crave a connection to themselves
and need tools to carry that off the mat.
