S. 2 | EP. 20

What I have witnessed many times when I attend other people's yin-yang classes is that the class starts with some kind of grounding and centring.

Then quickly move into sun salutations. Then there's a dead stop in the practice into child's pose, which is their transition into yin.

And then they throw in some Yin poses.

That's not very skillful.

And here's why our nervous system is going to have a lot of trouble adjusting to move, move, move, move, move, hot, sweaty, hot, sweaty, hot, sweaty, peak pose, bam, yin pose.

It's too jarring to go right from one to the other.

I would argue that a yin-yang class is more circular in nature. It's more of a circular experience and the transitions are slower and they have more ease in them. There's a little bit more kind of moving from one to the other instead of this start-stop.

And although that might be an okay Yang to Yin class, I know dear yoga teacher listening that you don't just want to teach okay classes.

I know that you want to teach exceptional classes. Part of my mission with this podcast is to give you some tools tips and techniques to help you guide exceptional classes.

Okay, so we'll talk about all of this and more in this episode
