Highly recommended course! It has has opened me up to the simple (but often forgotten concept) that if we want to serve our students well we must remember that teaching is not about teaching everything we know... It's about teaching to the student in front of you. It's about teaching from the foundations and building from there. I'm learning so much. I'm even applying what I am learning to everything I teach. And I even talk about Jason as "my teacher" even though I have never interacted with him yet! That's how effective and connected his teaching is. Very pedagogical, step by step, repetition, emphasis on key aspects.

Thank you, Jason! Always appreciate how you break things down so thoughtfully, based on scientific knowledge and your own teaching experience. I am currently taking Art of Yoga Sequencing for the 2nd time. It is all new from when I took it 9-10 years ago. I continue learning from you how to be a better teacher. Two things I didn't learn in my 200 hour are 1) how to sequence a class, and 2) how to teach a beginner series. That's why I see these two courses as so valuable.

Hi Jason, so helpful. I do teach a beginners course and one of the most difficult things for students is to step forward in a lunge. I will try having them come down onto one knee. Thanks again Lorraine

I was just told by my 'hand therapist' NEVER to tent my fingers when working thru yoga. I have a degenerative thumb issue & therapist says 'tenting fingers jams the joints' Just a little info - and ive been tenting for years and asking students to try tenting. I will not be doing this any more....i say this because i see you tenting hands in poses. Thank you and I do so appreciate you.

If your right leg is back in the lunge, is your left knee DIRECTLY under your shoulder (mine bumps into my chest) or can it vere outside the shoulder space (angled left). When my knee bumps into my chest I feel it prevents me from going lower.

I also tend to lose my balance when bringing my hands/arms up for the cresent part (when in the lunge) any pointers for that?
