Thanks Mark! I'm glad you think the language was good, it's something I feel I need to practice a lot more. It's been so long and I'm used to being fun and sassy when teaching adults these days. I learnt this morning that demonstrating FYB while trying to explain it at the same time is verrrry difficult. Gotta learn things the hard way sometimes, haha.Β

Yes it's really hard to narrate pranayama whilst practicing it, particularly whilst inhaling lol - Β but you can use your hands as a visual reference which can be helpful. Ultimately a meditation / yoga teachers toolkit are all of our 'phrases' that we can use to describe how to do something. That's why having a personal practice & not relying on scripts is essential. And whilst I can give you all of the guidance and advice that I can muster, the only way to truly become a teacher is to teach. I'm impressed, keep it up, Aum & Prem.

Thanks Mark, it's so true that we learn how to become better teachers by actually doing the teaching. I just taught nadi shodhana (stage 1) to a few groups of 10-12 year olds today and they really surprised me by totally getting it and not looking confused or unengaged. Extra difficult over Zoom too! I had them start with their eyes open and practicing the hand technique with just a couple of breaths before we moved into eyes closed. Some of them wrote in the chat at the end that it was their favourite part of the yoga class. Heart cartwheel <3
