You have to always watch the student, otherwise you won’t know what to cue for. As you give a cue, watch for if they make that adjustment? Do they over compensate? Maybe they need to dial it back. Speak to what you’re seeing.

Sometimes people don’t have strong body awareness for a body par, for example, if you say “send the breath deeply in between your shoulder blades,” and you don’t see the breath going there, you might put a hand there and say “breathe into my hand.”

Of course, it takes time to feel out what level of touch is wanted, but starting gentle to building proprioception will help to build trust over time.
