Head over to @trinaaltman’s page for a post about the “fathers of modern yoga”. #whosyouryogadaddy?
.
Her post inspired me to repost this reflection here:

.
IMO, and...
.
THEY MODEL INQUIRY: They question what they know and model this mindset to their students.
.
THEIR PASSION IS CONTAGIOUS. They get really worked up about their subject and bubble over with enthusiasm.
.
THEY BREAK ‘THE RULES.’ They question the status quo and model opposing it if its values contradict evidence or ethics.
.
THEY ASK instead of tell - 1) because it’s an effective way to teach (inductive versus deductive.) 2) because they actually care what their students have to say about the matter and are open to different viewpoints and ideas, as well as levels of experience and knowledge.
.
THEY DON’T SHAME THEIR STUDENTS. Not knowing and making mistakes are not seen as a signs of insufficiency, but rather opportunities to teach and to learn.
.
What qualities do your favorite teachers model?

Hot Yoga Dublin Sunday’s masterclass 5/24 9:30-11:15 just opened for enrollment and it’s already half full. Go here — hotyogadublin.ticketbud.com/resistance-banded-backbends-and-inversions---with-laurel-777e8cebf36d
.
Banded Backbends and Inversions — learn banded progressions of poses that increase load gradually to the tissues essential to condition for inversions and backbends.
.
Get ready to vary the load with ideas for how to incorporate pulling exercises on your yoga mat and cross-train your yoga practice DURING your yoga practice.
.
You will practice the steps of inversions and make the PROCESS the POSE. Preparatory postures function as the scaled-back alternative for those who know that more consistent, varied, and loaded practice long-term will prepare them to securely invert. In this workshop, you will be able to tailor your process to your needs. Practice the skills of inversions without ever going upside down. Build strength and resilience for further down the road, like putting money in the bank.
.
And for those of you going upside down, get ready for some brand new ways to build your skill in entering and exiting with grace and precision. (Can anyone say partially closed chain feedback? 🤓)
.
Discover ways to introduce bands in your classes to more effectively help your students skill build progressively by adding external resistance.
.

@julesyoga’s book Yoga Biomechanics Stretching Redefined is everything I’ve ever wanted in a book about yoga. She writes elegantly about dense, complex, material in a way that will make any body nerd’s heart sing!
.
This book is a divining rod for finding those who have pored through it and those who haven’t, those who have adopted the more nuanced language around stretching, and those who haven’t, but maybe more significantly, those who speak more to the questions raised by the topic of stretching from those who speak in binary and certain terms.
.
Jules book is about stretching, yes, but maybe even more importantly (definitely more all-encompassing) it’s about epistemology. Every page checks the limits of what Jules knows, or what anyone knows based on current research.
.
What I love about Jules book is that it asks us to soften our certainty in our pursuit of truth. This, if truly done in earnest, demands that we constantly and transparently talk as much about *the limits* as the depth of what we know.
.
Simply put, this book is a game changer and you should get it.
.
Thank you, Jules.

🎧 Sound on for a little snippet from the @practicehuman podcast with host @caitlincasella — I talk about what open-mindedness means for movement and the study of anatomy, and why I feel it’s important to avoid transactional relationships with students where they come to you for answers that you give them, instead of fostering open-minded curiosity and critical thinking.
.
Listen to this episode if you are interested in unpacking teaching cues, want to know where I suggest new yoga teachers focus their attention with regards to learning anatomy (hint, it’s not by studying anatomy!) and the good ethics of recognizing the limits of knowledge we can glean from any given source. I also share some of my trade anatomy teaching secrets! Listen to the episode here: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/practice-human/id1435735693?i=1000438064575
