What do you say when a student asks you a question? Do you feel on the hot seat, like you have to have the correct answer?

In this episode, I’m exploring five common questions yoga teachers hear from their students and how to approach answering them with a better understanding of anatomy, movement, and individual experience. We’ll look at the following questions:

What should I be feeling in this pose?

Why do my wrists hurt in Downward Dog?

Why do I feel tightness in my hip when stepping forward in Warrior 1?

What muscles am I supposed to be using when I hear the cue to engage my core?

how many times a week should I be practicing?

I’m not giving you scripted answers to memorize. Instead, we’ll explore the anatomy behind each question and the follow-up questions you can ask to better understand what your students are experiencing.
