Today I taught a private class to a coworker who has never done yoga. She told me that she didn't want to take a class for a yoga studio because she didn't like the chanting. So, we didn't do any chanting.
I introduced her to a few basic postures. Since she is a pretty athletic and flexible person, she found most of the postures easy. I advised that since some of these postures are isometric; you will get out of it what you put into it.
The last few teacher training sessions have really helped me look for release valves which has helped me call out certain things like "that back leg should be active" and "press the heel down". It feels nice to be able to spot those little details that help refine the posture.
My coworker really enjoyed the class and will be back next week. She plans to take some more yoga classes too!
