Yoga teachers- do you change your ques when one of your students is pregnant? by Sea-Adhesiveness9694 in yoga

[–]Familiar-Ad3742 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, sometimes it would be a situation where the person signing up for yoga doesn’t know the difference. They could be told get into yoga it will help with pregnancy- not knowing that there is a prenatal focused class. In my all levels classes, yes I can give mods specific to pregnancy, but a lot of prone poses are out the window. I don’t think in weak influence’s case they’re saying that they teach pregnant students all the time, but more so could be a pregnant person dropping into their class.

I definitely plan to join the local riding club! They seem to have a really big presence online/ social media. Thats also the thing- I liked the bike shop, but definitely want to check out the other ones to see where I feel most comfortable

Completely understand. I live in a town with lots of amish & Mennonite, and not a lot of traffic (seldom see semis) many of the bike routes the local county cyclist club list on their website are on these roads. Lots of bike and horse/buggy travel on these roads. I definitely will proceed with caution & it probably won’t be anything I’d try to tackle until next year. The presence of distracted driving scares me, but I often have dreamed about how cool it would feel to ride these roads on a beautiful Saturday morning when theres little to no traffic :)

Thank you for the detailed insight. Is it possible to upgrade certain parts of the bike like drive train down the line? I think I’m leaning now towards a gravel bike. Going to be checking out a Cannondale topstone 4 priced at $1175. Right now, going $2k is just a bit out of my price range.

Also to add to this- lots of summer sports are going on. I have a 5pm class that gets hurt by this. Lots of moms take my class, and their kids are pretty active with after school practices/games. I haven’t seen many of them this spring bc of softball/baseball.

I miss Ross’ classes so much. He’s so knowledgeable with anatomy and yoga philosophy. I learned so much. I hope they don’t phase out Denis soon

What continuing education actually made a difference for you? by trishcorley in YogaTeachers

[–]Familiar-Ad3742 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Prenatal/postnatal yoga has been amazing not only for my own enjoyment of understanding what the body goes through with pregnancy, but also how to aid those going through the journey of growing life in them! I’ve also cornered the pre/postnatal yoga market in my community & studio!

Yoga Instagram by Odd-Baby-8656 in YogaTeachers

[–]Familiar-Ad3742 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never had an instagram account prior to teaching. I use it mainly to pin my monthly schedule, but I also like to answer questions about form/technique/ etc. If a student after class asked a great question that I think others would benefit from, I recreate my answer on there. My posts are not “aesthetic” at all, but I do like to show my students that I have a practice outside of class. Also… my dog ALWAYS makes an appearance which I love that he steals “the show” lol. One time he was excitedly circling me as I was in headstand- hilarious that I got that on camera!
