A few of us from yoga teacher training volunteered to be used as subjects for an advance level teacher training course focusing on how to teach a private yoga class. We each paired up with a teacher-in-training.
My teacher was Fannie. I enjoyed her smooth and calming voice. She did not know what I wanted to work on, so it was a total on-the-spot, think-on-your-feet moment. She handled it really well. She asked very good questions about my regular practice which helped her put together a practice for me that day. I talked about my hamstrings. I wanted to them to be more stretched. I talked about going in to half pigeon and wanting that experience to be better.
Although she did not write down the sequence after for me, and I had a 2 minute savasana, she gave me two postures to take home to do. I believe that was very good on her part. The two are: half gomukasana and supta baddha konasana. These are for stretching the periformis.
Afterwards, each of us test subjects wrote feedback for our teacher. I thoroughly enjoyed having a set of eyes on me and letting me know how I was doing along the way.
