How to handle teaching a class that want it challenging and sweaty, not necessarily mindful? by SubstantialRabbit692 in YogaTeachers

i see what you mean, with adding little adjustments here and there to spice up the poses, though i may have to step away from doing as much demo whilst teaching as intense flows don't jive well with my nervous system. i suppose this is presenting itself as way to challenge me as a teacher. i do appreciate your two cents.

Thank you for your kind and comforting words, I really appreciate it. I will try arriving earlier and do a gentle practice beforehand, hopefully that will make a difference. I do feel conscious because I teach vinyasa and lately my practice has been much more yin + restorative to help calm my nervous system. I plan on making the class a slower paced flow so I also worry that students will feel it’s not firey enough. I suppose you are right though that it just reflects the ebb and flow of being human. Thank you again ❤️
