Thanks so much. I’m really enjoying this and would love to receive regular emails.
and
have been teaching for over 20 years and follow all you say……………so hard to convince other teachers to gentle down into structural common sense.!
xxoo
Thank you Jane! I love this: “to gentle down into structural common sense”!
Hi, i really like your post! I will like to read one from you about the right way to do Chaturanga Dandasana, thanks! Marine
Hi Marine, thank you! I do plan to write a detailed article about core strengthening, but it might take a while. Check out this article for now, it has really useful tips on Chaturanga: http://yogainternational.com/article/view/how-to-avoid-shoulder-injuries-in-chaturanga-and-plank Thank you for reading my blog!
I love this, can’t find it in the shared sequences- is it there?
love this article but I have to say this is the first thing I was taught in my teacher training with Dru Yoga,the importance of engaging the core muscles but have to say I love and will use the image “ZIP UP ” .Fantastic site especially for new teachers like myself .
Hi Liz! So glad to hear that core engagement is an essential part of your teaching! I also find that “zip it up” is much faster to say than “progressively contract your abdomen from the pubic bone toward the navel” 🙂 Both have their place, but sometimes we need to be precise and quick!
I love this cue. I have been hearing it for a very long time with one of my teachers and it is so true that it translates in a very unique and effective way. LOVE IT so much that I’ve been using it in my own teaching for a while now.
I found this information very helpful very informative.
