I&#8217;d give them modifications of the pose, so they can build up to it over 6 or 10 weeks (<em>most yoga teachers teach classes in 6 or 10-week chunks<\/em>).<\/p>\n<h3>Teaching Tips<\/h3>\n<p>Below are some things to say when walking around the class observing students in Intense Side Stretch III Pose&#8230;<\/p>\n<table border=\"5\" style=\"height: 138px; width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse;\" cellpadding=\"10\">\n<tbody>\n<tr style=\"height: 46px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 19.8444%; height: 46px;\"><strong>Heel<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 80.1556%; height: 46px;\">Line up heel to heel with your back foot at a 45-degree angle.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 23px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 19.8444%; height: 23px;\"><strong>Hinge<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 80.1556%; height: 23px;\">Hinge at your hips when folding forward.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 23px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 19.8444%; height: 23px;\"><strong>Hips Square<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 80.1556%; height: 23px;\">Be aware that your frontal hipbones are square to the front of the mat.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 23px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 19.8444%; height: 23px;\"><strong>Openness<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 80.1556%; height: 23px;\">Feel your <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Sternum#:~:text=The%20sternum%20or%20breastbone%20is,major%20blood%20vessels%20from%20injury.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sternum<\/a> (breastbone at the center of your chest) gliding away from your navel to open your front body.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 23px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 19.8444%; height: 23px;\"><strong>Spine<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 80.1556%; height: 23px;\">Lengthen your spine, and engage your <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Quadriceps_femoris_muscle\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">quads<\/a>.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<br class=' sb-br' \/>\n<h3>Marvelous Modifications<\/h3>\n<p>If you have any pain with a pose or other limitations, it&#8217;s important to take off your <a href=\"https:\/\/georgewatts.org\/2010\/08\/12\/personality-type\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Type A personality<\/a> hat, put your <a href=\"https:\/\/georgewatts.org\/2010\/08\/12\/personality-type\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Type B<\/a> hat one on, and choose a gentle modification.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/georgewatts.org\/2014\/11\/07\/yoga-lesson-planning-visualization-technique\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Visualizing the pose<\/a> has been proven to help get you deeper into the pose.<\/p>\n<p>Ask your health care team if you are unsure of what you cannot do with your particular health challenges.
