One of my favorite examples where changing the orientation helps you sense how to integrate the pelvis and ribs. You can build so many different classes around this skill!

This passive breathing lesson is a great way to teach breathing observation before advancing to more sophisticated practices. Enjoy!

Directing your breath can turn a pose you've done a million times before into an entirely new experience. 😲

Lifting my arms here in combination with lifting wuth the breath.

In this version of Urdhva Hastasana, I'm elevating the shoulders (sacrilege, I know 😱) and focusing on expanding the upper lobes of my lungs. 🫁 It’s subtle, but the sense of “lift” comes from breath, not just the position..

We explore nuances like this in Breathing Mechanics & Asana (online October 18-19).

Because how you breathe changes what you feel.

You can’t cue strength, but you can train it.

In my 300-hour training last weekend, we worked this drill in plank and quadruped before even talking about Chaturanga.

Because if the strength in a specific position isn't there, no amount of cueing will create it. But smart progressions might!

I think yoga teachers don't always realize how hard Chaturanga is for many students. It helps to teach it as a pose and not just a transition. I always challenge everyone in the training to teach a class where Chaturanga is the "peak pose." Give it the attention it deserves!

Words matter. When people talk about “spinal stability,” they often just mean “don’t move your spine.” 🧐

If we don’t question the language, we risk confusing stillness with safety. That’s where media literacy comes in. Terms like stability carry weight, but they don’t always mean what we assume.

“Stability is a heavily loaded term with an unstable definition.” — Richard Bellman

Yoga Teacher Bingo: the game where everyone wins because we’ve all been there. 😂

✔️ Said ‘one more breath’… and held it for 10 more.
✔️ Lost your train of thought mid-cue.
✔️ Demo’d a pose you didn’t actually mean to teach.
✔️ That moment when your playlist betrayed you with an ad.

How many squares can you check off?

If you or any of your yoga teacher friends want to join me, sign up by August 1st to save $100. The course is at shefayoga in Venice, but is hosted by me, so you'll sign up through my website. Since I'm hosting it myself, there are studio rental fees and travel costs, hence the advanced early registration deadline. I don't think I need to explain more. Sign up today, and I'll see you there. 🙏
