This morning's yoga class included:

- 5 minutes heart coherence breathing (5,5 breaths per minute, use a track like https://open.spotify.com/track/0ztPS3K6OBrbaQnyGqFLMh?si=7a8e8f2147754176 to guide inhales / exhales)

- modifying class on the fly because someone was still having wrist issues (byebye vinyasas, hello creative stepping backs)

- giving lots of options for poses "chose your own adventure" style.

- a nice 8 minute long savasana with a track that is scientifically proven to reduce anxiety and help relax (https://open.spotify.com/track/6kkwzB6hXLIONkEk9JciA6?si=a6918acf3f6c4b16 ) (*)

And it resulted in a great class, even I felt energized after teaching it!

And after the workout, I joined the yoga class because I was curious about the style.

How to turn me off your yoga classes in five easy steps:

1. Have incense burning when I enter the room
2. Have music with lyrics playing
3. Do not shut the fuck up during meditation
4. Offer few to no modifications during asanas
5. Do not ask for permission to make adjustments during **savasana**, when I am laying down with closed eyes, and on top of that, use essential oils.

Today a 72 years young lady attended yoga class, and she was game: cat-cow? downward facing dog? warrior II? extended side angle? tree? yep, yep, yep! Like always, within her ability.

I really love how diverse this class at the physical therapy office is turning out to be.

Today I gave my yoga students the option to have an extra long savasana, 3 our of 4 said yes (fourth student didn't care one way or another). My rationale being that we have done the summer time change last night, so a bit of extra rest would be welcome.

So I did an XL savasana, with both a guided body scan and a pranayama exercise (mini yoga nidra session) before settling into (gentle music) savasana.

It was a very welcome change in class, it seems :)

Feeling 😞 upset as a new #YogaInstructor?

Remember: even the best teachers were once beginners. Breathe, trust the process, and keep showing up!

The yoga class I taught this morning had 8 students, it's been a while since it had more than 3 or 4.

It is always nice having more people come and share the energy.
