i continue to be shocked by how bossy yoga teachers are.

i continue to be appalled by how inconfident many yoga students are with exploring yoga poses (placing THEIR OWN hands and feet WHERE THEY WOULD LIKE to put them) and disobeying cues by yoga teachers.

in this episode i list a few very obvious examples of movement outside of yoga that break the alignment cues we hold so dear and that many yoga teachers enforce.

if others break our rules. why can't we?

teachers need to stop telling people they are doing poses right & wrong.
