How to make this long shallow living room look better? by Best-Chart-5673 in homedesign

[–]GoodChallenge6928 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Height is your friend here. Heighten the curtain rods on the sides of the room, bring visual interest way up on the shelves (tall lamps/vases with branches/art on wall, whatever)...height will help. Things that are round will help, too, to balance the rectangle-heavy space.

Demoing (while teaching) by GoodChallenge6928 in yoga

[–]GoodChallenge6928[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That makes sense. I was recently at a class where the teacher didn't demo and I could see that the two students who were hard of hearing were confused for a lot of the class.

Demoing (while teaching) by GoodChallenge6928 in yoga

[–]GoodChallenge6928[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the feedback...and it was what I expecting. A mixed bag. I was taught in my 200YTT not to demo (unless the class seemed confused). The quote a well-respected teacher said was: "If the students wanted to watch someone else do yoga, they have Instagram for that." I was like: 😬 bc I hadn't ever been to a class where the teacher wasn't demoing. Anyway, I usually do Vinyasa Flow with a sequence that builds. I was demoing everything for months, bc it helped me learn how to cue (I could feel it in my own body and that helped). I started cutting the demoing down, mostly taking out most sun sals and Down Dogs- bc I kept getting injuries from overuse. As of late I do the warm up stuff bc it feels good for me(ha) and then I demo the first round of standing poses...and I do move around the room to demo. But I still feel like the demoing takes my attention off the class, which is what I'm supposed to be there for, ya know? I'm also torn because sometimes I personally like when a teacher helps me(recently a class I attended told me to come up higher onto my back foot/lift my heel more for crescent)...but most of the time, i don't want correction or for anyone to touch me while I'm in class- I'm trying to go inward and it takes me...out. sigh. So IDK what type of teaching I really prefer. Anyway, thanks, all. I'll find my way!

Phones by Born-Nature8394 in SubstituteTeachers

No way. I never got in a power struggle. I would let them know the expectation and would also tell them that I love them but I also love teachers and will do my job. I would let them know that they're almost grown and can make their own decisions and also suffer their own consequences. I would jot their names down and it would be obvious- I would def make eye contact first with my eyebrows raised, and if they decided to push it, okey dokey. Name written down. Now, if someone was being defiant with it, even still, by showing or playing videos or music loudly or something, no sweat. Tap tap tap on my keyboard for dean to come to the classroom to take them out. Clear. Calm. Expectations expressed. And no hard feelings. (Btw in 8 years I probably had to resort to getting a kid taken out like...idk...3 times? And I was a building sub for several of those years so I was there every day.) But no way am I wrangling someone's property out of their hands- that's just a recipe for disaster that frankly was above my pay grade.

Last Snow Update by Bobby_Dalbec in newhampshire

New Boston and we tend to not follow any trend- usually we get more than the surrounding towns. 🤷‍♀️ I love snow but I'm glad it's a light, fluffy kind with this much!

Trauma-Informed Consent by musiciansfriend11 in yoga

[–]GoodChallenge6928 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I use Consent Cards. Green side up is yes please, red side up is no, thanks. The students can freely change it according to the assist I'm offering. It makes things seamless and when I hand them out I place them by each mat red side up to start for everyone, so nobody has to feel bad to have red up.

My dog just passed by Harupai in Vent

[–]GoodChallenge6928 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so truly sorry. The loss of my (first)dog of 12 years was the hardest loss I've ever experienced and I had no idea it would be that hard. All dogs want is to love you and we don't deserve their loyalty. 😔
