For teachers, language is everything.

Fancy sequences and advanced poses do not make a good teacher. What sets you up for excellence is HOW you communicate in class. Do you empower or shame students into poses? Do you understand the subtle difference between asking a question or showing an option? Most teachers rely on cue-based instructions, and while that’s fine as a new teacher, there is no empowerment in it. Enhancing your language skills will elevate your teaching beyond what you could imagine.

As we move beyond a purely shape-based approach, this session explores how to develop language that speaks to sensation, experience, and internal organisation. We’ll refine how and when to cue to support learning without overload. To empower and encourage. How to use language to make each individual feel they belong, are in the right place in their body and breath.

Part of a series

Language Skills is workshop 6 of Moving Anatomy & Intelligent Teaching, a series of 8 workshops for yoga/movement teachers and dedicated practitioners who want to move beyond static anatomy and into living, felt understanding of how the body moves, and how that knowledge is perceived, integrated, and taught.
