I love teaching Sun Salutations and creative variations of Sun Salutations. Luckily, there are lots of lovely quotes you can use when teaching Sun Salutations.
One of my favourite “sun-themed” quotes is from B.K.S. Iyengar:
“Yoga is a light, which once lit, will never dim. The better your practice, the brighter the flame.”
I love using quotes because they are instant yoga class themes.
If you’ve been through a yoga teacher training, you’ll know first-hand that it can take hours sometimes to come up with an inspirational yoga lesson plan.
Sometimes less is more.
Sometimes you don’t have to spend hours coming up with a yoga class theme. Sometimes all you need to do is use a yoga quote.
Here’s my #1 tip for using a quote as a yoga class theme…
During the yoga class repeat the quote over and over and over again and over again. It’s impossible to say the quote too many times during a class. When you repeat the quote it becomes a mantra. And mantras need constant repetition for them to gain sticking power in a student’s mind.
That’s my top tip.
Below is the B.K.S. Iyengar yoga quote that I used as a yoga theme in one of my yoga classes.
Feel free to use download the infographic and use it in your class as yoga teaching aid.
