Back then, I was early in my evolution as a yoga teacher\u2014I could tell that students were struggling in cue-focused classes, but I still saw the inability to get into a particular pose as a challenge to be worked through rather than a fact of human physiology.

Here\u2019s the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.yogajournal.com\/how-to\/target-tight-weak-spots-a-new-way-to-get-into-bow-pose\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">article in question<\/a>.&nbsp;<br><br>When I read this article today, the first thing that strikes me is how&nbsp;<strong>it\u2019s built on the cycle of lack<\/strong> in yoga classes. I talked about the \u201ctight and weak places that might be holding you back\u201d as if there are simple \u201cproblems\u201d that can be fixed to allow anyone to bend into Bow. Like so much of the competitive, commodified yoga we see all around us, this language leads us to believe that&nbsp;<strong>we are the problem<\/strong>. It preys upon peoples\u2019 feeling that they aren\u2019t enough and leads them to believe that if they just work harder or stretch further they\u2019ll be able to fill that void. So much of our culture is based on marketing toward that sense of lack, toward selling us the thing that will make us whole.&nbsp;<strong>That\u2019s not a belief system I buy into anymore.<\/strong><br><br>The article is also inherently flawed because&nbsp;<strong>this shape will never work for many people, no matter how hard they work at it.<\/strong>&nbsp;And others can add all of the stability work they want, but it still won\u2019t be sustainable. Doing this pose without major shoulder or lumbar extension requires a very specific body type: a very short torso, short femurs, and very long arms. Otherwise, it requires extension that goes&nbsp;<strong>far past a clinically functional range of motion.<\/strong><br><br>Back then, I still bought into the idea that we could change our musculature to get past some of these challenges. Even when I was injured I believed that I could get back to doing these poses safely if I became safer or added stability drills.<strong>&nbsp;It just isn\u2019t true.&nbsp;<\/strong>There\u2019s nothing wrong with trying to get stronger, but strength alone won\u2019t make poses accessible or sustainable on its own. I was trying to help students protect themselves, but my method was flawed.<br><br>And isn\u2019t it funny that I\u2019m presenting this area for improvement, for adding something, when&nbsp;<strong>the message of yoga is that we already have all we need inside us<\/strong>? There\u2019s no amount of glute strength that will make us more worthy of human connection and belonging and wholeness?<br><br>Another thing that stands out to me is&nbsp;<strong>the rigidity of my approach.<\/strong>&nbsp;This piece was very much focused on achievement, of working toward the \u201cfull expression of the pose\u201d (another phrase I despise). These days, I\u2019d throw that aim out the window and instead offer students a series of explorations to see what different movements feel like in their body at that moment in time. Instead of&nbsp;<strong>climbing up a staircase<\/strong>, it\u2019s about throwing the hierarchy out the window and helping students find what works for them.<br><br>When I think about it now, most of these problems come back to the issue of power and agency in the class. As the teacher, I used to assume that agency and hold the keys (unintentionally, of course!), telling students what to do and what was \u201cright\u201d without giving them time to explore. Instead, we need to give students the tools and information they need to&nbsp;<strong>make choices from a place of full personal agency<\/strong>.&nbsp;<br><br>If this is something you\u2019re interested in learning how to do, that\u2019s exactly what my Deconstruct to Reconstruct course teaches you. We pull apart standard approaches to help teachers reconstruct their classes to be<strong>&nbsp;accessible and sustainable for all students<\/strong>.
