Yoga Teachers, Prepare for the New Year's Rush - Part 3
This is the last article of this series, and by now, you should
be getting some fresh ideas that will help you design a couple
of new Yoga classes in your studio.
Yoga on the Ball: This has been around for awhile, but it still
can add some excitement to a Yoga class. Whether you use it in a
workshop, or to break up a class, the stability ball can put
some life into a class.
However, not everyone will like it, especially those students
who have difficulty just sitting on one of these balls. Make
sure anyone who is unsteady is made aware of the hazards. It is
best for some to practice near a wall, or in the corner, for
stability. In this case, the wall is a secondary prop. Suzanne
Deason has some interesting information on using the "Balance
Ball" as a prop, in DVD format
Family Yoga: This is a great concept for most families, but it
is worth noting that this type of class can attract some parents
who desire to be in control of every aspect of their child's
life. This type of parent will be easily noticed from the start,
when he or she corrects their son's or daughter's every move.
Therefore, it is best to establish who will do the cueing,
assisting, and correcting. One unchecked parent can ruin the
entire class. Kids acting like kids are understandable, but when
parents act like kids, it is time to put your diplomatic skills
to the test. That's why it would be wise to have guidelines in
place.
Partner Yoga for
Singles: My wife, Marie, and I taught classes
like these, and they do "break the ice." Helping and assisting
someone breaks down all the barriers. This class works better as
an occasional workshop.
Laughter Yoga: The first I heard of this was when a friend of
mine attended a Laughter Yoga class in Ireland. Some of the
Chair Yoga classes I teach have a little humor injected into
them. With all the stress people get these days, this is a
stress management method that will allow Yoga students to be
less serious about everyday situations.
Pet Yoga: This is a nice idea, but this is for friendly and
"house trained" pets, only, unless you teach the class outside.
Dog Yoga has been referred to as "Doga." This is a great
workshop concept, as long as there are no hostile pets present.
Chair Yoga: Most of these classes are held at senior centers,
assisted living complexes, nursing homes, and physical
rehabilitation facilities. It will be hard to establish a
following at most Yoga studios, as this group is less mobile and
transportation is a big issue.
