Less Is More: Swallowing An Imaginary Chill Pill When Creating Yoga Lesson Plans Is A Life Saver
Many yoga teachers feel a compelling urge to cram their yoga lesson plans with too much stuff. Before you choose to go down the “cramming route”, I highly recommend you give your yoga lesson plans a chill pill.
You’ve probably heard the saying: “Less is more.”
Less is more is true when creating your yoga lesson plans.
Think about that for a moment…
Less is More.
Repeat that a few times.
Less is More.
Less is More.
Less is More.
Less is More.
Mmmmm, feels good doesn’t it.
You probably feel a wee bit lighter, right?
So, here’s how to apply the less is more philosophy to your yoga lesson planning…
Repeat The Same Asana 2, 3 or 4 Times During The Class
5 reasons to repeat asanas in your classes…
- Helps students become more confident (repetition is the mother of all skill)
- Helps students go much deeper into the pose
- Gives you a chance to to walk around making adjustments
- Slows the class so it almost becomes a meditation
- Most students prefer slower classes (if you have mixed level classes)
