Teaching Beginners in an All Levels Yoga Class

My husband, Jason Crandell, is back this week, and he's sharing practical tips for teaching beginning students when they come to a mixed-level class.

Here are a few things you'll learn:

* How to keep a new student safe without making them feel singled out (and when to just let things go!)

* Strategies for helping beginners (and everyone else, too!) through the Chaturanga/Up Dog/Down Dog transition and alternatives

* Tips for helping students step from Down Dog to a Lunge in Sun Salutations

* Teaching the details of Down Dog

- Troubleshooting for tight students

- How to find the appropriate distance between the feet and hands

* How to help students find the right distance between their feet in standing poses
