My husband, Jason Crandell, is back this week, and he’s sharing practical tips for teaching beginning students when they come to a mixed-level class.
Here are a few things you’ll learn:
- How to keep a new student safe without making them feel singled out (and when to just let things go!)
- Strategies for helping beginners (and everyone else, too!) through the Chaturanga-Up Dog-Down Dog transition and alternatives
- Tips for helping students step from Down Dog to a Lunge in Sun Salutations
- Teaching the details of Down Dog
- Troubleshooting for tight students
- How to find the appropriate distance between the feet and hands
- How to help students find the right distance between their feet in standing poses
