Practicing yoga has to come from within you. The decision to practice as well as the mind to practice. All must come from within you. There are some basic things that students might want to ask their teachers to do more or less, only if the get the chance to.
1. You can give more adjustments but very wisely
Every yoga student, want to make sure that their asana is done properly. However, adjustments make students to feel better. Students will always feel like they are making some improvements when they are being guided by their teacher. When a teacher comes over to a student to make a personal or important adjustment or just to instruct an individual within a particular group, they are simply making a one-on-one connection. This to most teachers is a way of noticing as well as appreciating people in the room. However, teachers should not assume that they always have to touch their students. Many teachers feel they have to do some adjustments in other to connect with their students. This is not always true. For every students who like the idea of you adjusting their postures another might hate it completely. People generally like to be seen, and know that you have their best interest in your mind. They want you to assist them, call out their name, and look them in the eye.
2. Do not call beginners out
People hate to be intimidated. In addition, a beginner yoga can feel very insecure when he finds himself in a class that is full of intermediate or students that are advanced. Therefore, you should think thoroughly before calling attention to your new students may be for not performing a pose appropriately. There are many ways, both skillful and educational that you can use to support a beginner while you continue teaching the rest of the class. However, you can correct a beginner by simply demonstrating the pose or misalignment and in addition, give some verbal cues.
3. Let the pose have some meaning
Allowing students to know the benefits of a performing a particular pose will make them to properly understand the value of proper alignment. Students will feel special about what they are doing because they will no longer be seeing it as a common exercise or stretching. It is also very essential to educate your students on the mythology that is behind such poses.
4. Do not only communicate with Sanskrit
The native language of yoga is what is called Sanskrit but students especially those from the western parts of the world would appreciate hearing the English translation of pose names.
