And based on the Instagram DMs and emails I receive, that\u2019s an unnerving thought for a lot of yoga teachers. Many of you have\u2014understandably\u2014found it difficult to transition to online teaching. As someone who has been successfully teaching yoga online for years now, I\u2019m here to tell you that\u00a0<strong>not only is it possible to do so effectively, it\u2019s actually an opportunity to take a huge step forward as a teacher<\/strong>.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td>The way we\u2019re taught to teach leads us to rely on physicality as a measure for whether the student is doing \u201ca good job.\u201d It\u2019s no surprise, then, that when teachers can only see a student from one angle on Zoom, or can\u2019t see them at all if the camera is off, they don\u2019t know what to do.\u00a0<strong>But visual assessment itself, whether done in person or via a faraway phone camera, is at heart a highly exclusive approach that relies on a false binary of good and bad.<\/strong>\u00a0After all, when we\u2019re assessing based on visual lines, we can\u2019t see whether the student is actually damaging themself by overextending, or if they\u2019re having the experience we\u2019re trying to convey.\u00a0<br><br>That\u2019s the danger of teaching yoga in a way that prioritizes form over function.\u00a0<strong>But if we flip the script and teach function over form, we are not only able to teach students without visuals, we are also able to teach in a more safe, effective, and inclusive way.\u00a0<\/strong><br><br>So what does teaching yoga in a way that prioritizes function over form look like? Let\u2019s take tree pose as an example. Most of us are taught this pose with explicit instructions for how to place our bodies. Foot to the inner thigh or calf, pelvis straight, etc. But do we ever describe how the student\u2019s body should feel in this pose, or what sensation they should focus on?<br><br>The same pose can be taught with no visual feedback, but with a focus on function. The key aim of tree pose is balance, or putting more weight in one foot than the other. This aim can be achieved in many ways, ranging from visualizing the sensation, shifting weight while lying down, or lifting one foot slightly off the floor to the version most of us are used to. Cueing a class through tree pose using a functional approach would focus much more on how the student\u2019s body feels. For example, I might ask about how stable the student feels in their version of the pose. Would their pose hold up to a gust of wind? What if they were on a moving sidewalk at an airport? How would it feel different if they held onto a railing?\u00a0<br><br>The key to structuring a class in this fashion is to look for poses or activities that have a similar function.\u00a0<strong>Instead of cobbling together different poses, identify a thematic focus that can create a throughline for the class.\u00a0<\/strong>Break down a concept into pieces, present them in a logical order, and then give students the autonomy they need to put them together in a way that works for them. There\u2019s no need to make things flashy\u2014pare down what you teach to what you have truly internalized. When it\u2019s just about function, there is no need to demo any poses.<br><br>Another concern I hear from a lot of teachers is that they have a hard time connecting with their class or seeing what works without being in person. First of all, I would encourage us all to question the assumption that seeing someone in person allows us to assess how they are feeling about a class. If we\u2019re deep in our practice, we probably aren\u2019t smiling, and that\u2019s okay. And why are we looking for students to perform approval? In many cases, keeping the camera turned off is a welcome refuge for those who have felt uncomfortable or excluded in a class because of how their body might be perceived.\u00a0<strong>Not seeing one another is a good reminder that yoga practice is ultimately not about the physical.<\/strong>\u00a0If it makes more people feel safe in class and forces us to become more conscientious teachers, it\u2019s a win-win in my book.<br><br>Looking for actionable tips on how to translate the classes that your students love into the virtual environment?\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/catchup.triyoga.co.uk\/workshops\/refine-your-online-teaching-skills\/\">Rent my workshop on refining your online teaching skills!<\/a><\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As COVID-19 drags into what feels like month 437, it\u2019s clear that traditional, in-person yoga classes will be off the table for some time yet.
