In my first 200hr YTT, Breathwork was taught in just a short module & in just a couple of hours. My teacher taught us 5 pranayama techniques, listed the contraindications, spoke very quickly about the lungs and moved on…
And even though it was quick I was left in an experience of “holy f**k, this is amazing! This may be the best feeling I’ve ever had! Wtf is this stuff!” I mean … I was in complete awe. And left wondering why it was treated like an optional add on when I felt like IT IS LITERALLY THE WHOLE POINT!!!
We completed the training, I didn’t pay much attention to it and began teaching yoga… sequences…
Fast forward… I opened my studio and that’s where I began working closely with my students … always asking them questions.. most of my students reported feelings of anxiety, confusion discomfort or a lack of opening in their postures depending the teachers que. This led me down a rabbit hole…
It’s in the breath!!! *ALMOST* all yoga teachers are teaching breathing loosely. They may or may not include it in a class or when they do teach it… they are simply reminding their students to breathe with no further instruction . Of course I understand why though! This is how teachers are taught in YTT’s and I had the same experience in my own first training.
If you’re not intentionally cueing breath in an anatomically congruent way, you may be reinforcing your students negative emotions, beliefs, habits, unstable movement (which can lead to injuries) etc…
Subconsciously they stay stuck in a fear based practice…
On & Off the mat!
But there’s a better way!
I’m hosting a FREE 3 part training where I get into the nitty gritty of this… & how to create transformational classes your students can’t ignore, grow your following without burning out teaching a million classes, create a bigger impact and make more income FASTER than going for another certification (that you don’t need right now!)
🌬️DM me “TRANSFORM” and I’ll send you the details!
