✨ Your practical teaching idea this week
Theme: Finding Stability Through Gentle Movement
Try this five-minute sequence in your next beginner Hatha or Chair Yoga class.
- Seated Mountain — 1 minute: Encourage a comfortable upright position, with feet supported and breathing natural.
- Seated Cat-Cow — 1 minute: Guide gentle spinal movements within a comfortable range.
- Seated Heel Raises — 1 minute: Slowly lift and lower the heels while maintaining a stable seated position.
- Supported Standing Mountain — 1 minute: Invite students who can stand safely to use a sturdy chair or wall for support. Others remain seated.
- Quiet Breathing — 1 minute: Allow students to notice their natural breathing without forcing or holding it.
Use a stable chair without wheels. Encourage students to avoid painful movements and stop if they experience dizziness.
This is a suggested accessible teaching sequence, not a clinically validated five-minute balance intervention.
💜 Teaching cue of the week
“You do not have to make your body fit the pose. We can adapt the pose to support your body.”
