Thank you for that reply! You were right. I had too many poses! Especially for a first class where I spent some time on each poses considering the body and potential use of props. In the end we did Butterfly 1/2 butterfly Shoelace (with a twist, but next week I will try a side bend) Caterpillar Then...

Hi Bernie I have been teach yin since 2014. I use your books and website all the time. I'm starting a new session next eeek with mostly non yogi beginners. Middle aged women and a few pregnant women who have been practicing for a while. I have blocks and people will bring blankets to fold to sit on....

What would be your next "level" to this? We hold the postures for 3 minutes. The class is 90 minutes. We start with some general b...

I tried the gate pose and you were right. I took a little more balance than anticipated, and our knees got sore in my sequence.

It went ok, but this week I am going to add bananasana and remove gate.

Thank you for your response! I am learning a lot from your website.

Hi there I am a newer yoga teacher. I have been teaching a weekly 90 minute yin class for about 3 months. I keep it very simple. It is usually 8-10 ladies. There are a number of them with knee issues. Most are runners. I am looking to try a few different things. I do a lot of the classes on the wall...
