  • Summary

  • My first yoga class as a student was a disaster—I felt lost, uncomfortable, and unsure of what was allowed. It wasn’t the poses that overwhelmed me—it was the uncertainty. Can I leave if I need to? What if I can’t do a pose? Where’s the bathroom?

    As teachers, we often focus on our confidence, but what about our students? In this episode, I explore how consistency in class structure and clear permission create a supportive, predictable environment where students can focus on their practice instead of worrying about logistics.

    Key Takeaways:

    ✅ Why predictable class structures help students feel safe

    ✅ How to give explicit permission for modifications and classroom logistics

    ✅ Simple ways to normalize choice and agency in your yoga class
