Yoga Teacher's Companion #26: How to Teach the Most Essential Sun Salutations to Beginners

I am teaching sun sals to beginners this Sunday, thanks Jason. I absolutely love your tips and cues for teaching beginner's. I am enjoying teaching, troubleshooting and supporting beginner students :) Can't wait to finish the last module of 300 hr :)

This is incredibly helpful. Thank you!

Absolutely wonderful information. Thank you so much! I will definitely be implementing these Sun Salutations into my Beginner’s Yoga Series. The cues are so clear and precise!

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.

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.

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.

I’m watching learning doing taking notes thanks Andrea😉I know you’re the brains. Jkidding

Thank you - love the sequential layering of the flows.

❤❤❤

Thank you ✨👏🏽

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

Thank you! very informative video! Looking forward to learn more during the course! and nice video with these infographics..always something new coming out from the Crandell/Ferretti's home :)

Thank you for this video, this is so helpful ! I love the way it is sequenced and how you introduce each piece of information. I am looking forward to teach those !

Great cues to help our beginning students. Thank you so much for sharing! Mary

So thankful Jason and Andrea. LOVE your tips and your podcasts guys!

you’re the best

Incredibly thought through, well organized, and clearly conveyed. Amazing. Thank you!

Love the way you teach.

Thank you excellent love the podcast. Finally watched a video…

You’re amazing, I am so used to your voice makes me relaxed and encouraged

Thank you Jason for your great tips for teaching beginners, incredibly helpful 🙏🏽☺️🌟

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.

thankyou for sharing your knowledge

Thank you for teaching!💘
