Is "Listen to Your Body" actually helpful, or is it just confusing for your students?

In this episode, Brea, Founder of Heart and Bones Yoga, chats with Ula about the nuance of one of the most common cues in the yoga world. While we want to offer autonomous experiences, "listening to your body" can be tricky when our "normal" is actually a pattern of unconscious postural habits or even tension.

In this video, you’ll learn:

Why "listen to your body" can backfire for students with deep-seated habits.
The "Goldilocks" method: Using polarities to help students find their middle ground.
How to support hypermobile students who might be "guarding" or tense without realizing it.
Real-world examples of using props (like the "festival chair" moment!) to create ease.
A sneak peek into our upcoming Lab Series on nervous system-supportive cueing.
