Hi there
I am a newer yoga teacher. I have been teaching a weekly 90 minute yin class for about 3 months.
I keep it very simple. It is usually 8-10 ladies. There are a number of them with knee issues. Most are runners.
I am looking to try a few different things. I do a lot of the classes on the wall. It goes over pretty well. But occasionally I get a few extra people and need to be prepared to not use the wall. Here are my recent thoughts:
Beginning - laying, breathing
Warm up - we do gentle movements, linking breath with movement - neck rolls, shoulder rolls, ankles.
Poses are held for 3 minutes...
SPHYNX
FROG OR TADPOLE
All Right side
Gate pose
baby dragon
half split
reclined figure 4
RECLINED BUTTERFLY
Same sequence on the left
Reclined twist
Savasana
Is gate pose ok for yin? We all have padding for under the knee, as some will probably want it here. None of them like sleeping swan...
Thanks for your input!
Anne
