Yoga Poses for Teachers – A Directory of Asana’s Designed Specifically for Yoga Teachers
Welcome to YogaClassPlan directory of yoga poses and asana’s. This
teacher resource is currently under development. You will see below our
archive of yoga poses is not complete, but please do take some time to
review the pose articles that are... this way you will know what to
expect in the coming months.
The template we used for
these pose articles was designed with one question in mind... what’s in
it for yoga teachers? There is value here for students of yoga, but
again, our primary focus is delivering value to teachers.
The yoga pose sections we chose to go with as follows:
- The Pose: detailed comments and instructions that cover the complete range of students entering and exiting a given yoga pose.
- Teacher Queues: this is the section we feel will deliver the most value. In the near future, we will add a dynamic element that let’s other teachers contribute their own queues. We have four sections:
- Visualization: interesting and different comments teachers can use to help students achieve the correct position
- Technical: the specific details of how the body should be anatomically positioned
- Benefit: comments on how a given yoga pose benefits the body and mind
- Watch out for: correctional position comments that are common in a given pose as well as possible pain points.
- Contraindications: scenarios where students should avoid a given yoga posture
- Modifications: comments teachers can use to help students modify a pose so it’s within their comfort level
- Variations: different yoga poses you can offer your students that are similar, but different
- Yoga Counter Poses: a list of yoga poses you can counter with
This directory was created by yoga teachers for yoga teachers. Our goal is to have a large range of teachers contribute other yoga pose articles based on the template we have provided... different styles and different approaches will just add even more value. If you are interested in submitting your own yoga pose article, please see the instructions below the list of yoga poses.
