  2. Develop your own personal practice Being a teacher, you cannot just copy someone’s style. It is only through your own personal practice, you can find your touch, your strengths as a teacher. Take out time for your own practice. Even attend classes from other teachers.

  3. Focus on your students and be with them Interaction with students is the key. It makes you less self-conscious and more confident and helpful. Walk around in the class rather than just staying in the front. Motivate a student if he/she is giving up on any asana. Be with your students so that you can understand their needs.

Read through the concept of each pose and how breathing exercise can benefit your students. Understand the philosophy and history behind yoga.

  5. Be in the moment Be it during your own practice or during the class, just be in the moment. Enter the class leaving all the stress at the door. Pay complete attention to what is going on. In your practice, focus on every minute detail. Take your time, stay in the pose for as long as you can. Focus on each movement and your breath. During your class, be very clear on what your are delivering to your students. This time, focus on their movements and breath and help them where ever required.

  6. Help students with their inner awareness Help your students understand their bodies rather than comparing with other students. What is easy for one, may be difficult for other. Encourage them to focus on the feel of the movement and breath. They should understand that aim of doing yoga is not to get into certain position, it is to know your body and get more comfortable with it as well as to keep our bodies and minds healthy .

  7. Take it step by step Take the through each step of the pose. Make them understand that they can stop at any step along the way. Encourage them to go till their limit and not over doing it. They should be at the point where they feel challenging but can breathe smoothly .

  8. As a yoga instructor, it is your duty that every student gets the most out of your class in a safe and effective way. Following the above tips might help you improve the overall experience of the session, for students and for you as well. For more details, visit https://yogaeducation.org
