Poppy Flower I’m so glad this is helpful!!!! Congrats on taking your TT!! 🙌🏻 learning to teach yoga is a lifelong process... sounds like you’re well on your way 😄
Watching yoga videos and beginning practice. So many variation! Every single video is different and I'm only watching sun salutations. Here you raise your hands up in front of you instead of from your sides "making the rainbow." Never seen that before.
Thank you so much for your great tips! I’m teaching yoga to my parents during this quarantine and it has helped them a lot! Thanks for the great guidance!
Fantastic content 🙏🏼 I’m learning lots from you. Just completed my 200hr and your tips are priceless. Do you pause at each pose in the flow, for example forward fold, to explain for the first time? Or just keep going and correct as you go?
Hey there so great to connect with you here! And congrats on finishing your 200 hour, that is so exciting! When I teach The sun salutation the first time I will take an extra moment to teach before we do the plan to Chaturanga transition and pause to teach the backbends more slowly. If it’s a new class full of beginners I will break it down further and maybe do a few points per each pose. But if it’s an experienced class then it’ll move more quickly. Does that make sense? Come to one of my classes some time and see😘😁
Great thank you. How rounds would you do for an hours hatha class? Also, how many rounds do you demonstrate and then give verbal demonstration? New yoga teacher here x
Chanel Edwards great question! Really depends on what kind of hatha I’m teaching... I can teach “hard” or “squishy” hatha. If it’s hard, I may do 3-5 rounds but usually slow and broken down... no jumping. For a flow class I’d teach slow the first round or two down. Then teach 4 at a good pace. Demonstrate when needed, as needed. If people look confused :)
Chanel Edwards really depends on who your students are! Some classes I demo a lot (lots of newbies), other classes not at all. 😃 rule of thumb:demo once and assess to see if they got it. 💕
Hello! Good question! I would say that it depends on your intention. They aren't better..just different. Some teachers (like one of mine) likes to add a backbend to utthita hastasana. I personally don't add a backbend, unless I'm teaching a backbending class in which case I may modify it to start warming up that part of the body. But I base my sun salutations pretty strictly on the ashtanga tradition so I stick to their lead on that! For sun salutations, I use ujjayi pranayama - again, based on the ashtanga way :)
SO helpful, thank you so much. I’m half way through my 200hr training & I wish I’d seen this video at the start of my course 😊

Hello Ma'am
My question ❓ regarding back bending
During Sun salutations 2nd position and breathing regular or Deep breaths. which one better 🙏🙏

That first bit looks really rough and sloppy. And why don't you put hands in front of heart?
You could if you like!
Nice but it would be a lot more helpful if you spoke much slower.
Hi Martina! It's true ~ I do speak quickly.
@@RachelScottYogaI love how you speak, perfect speed for me.
