How does a yoga instructor arrange classes? According to students' needs and physical condition, the effect will be obvious if they are treated differently. We must measure and communicate with them before arranging courses.

Before arranging the course, you should pay attention to the following points:

1. Set the course theme first. What is the theme framework of this course?

The theme course is to exercise a certain part of the human body, so that the body can be repaired and improved. The theme of the course is generally to strengthen the core, which is generally used to strengthen the strength of the abdomen and enhance the mermaid line of the vest line. Moreover, the more difficult poses and courses in the later period depend on the abdominal core. If there is no strength in the core, physical strength will be poor, and many poses can't be done at all.

2. Set the crowd: the age of the members and the length of time to study yoga are the factors that need to be considered in arranging the course. For example, students and white-collar workers aged 18-28 can't have the same course content as middle-aged people aged 30-40, because young people have better physical strength, and they pay more attention to shaping and losing weight, while the elderly will pay more attention to health and health preservation.

3. Set the peak posture of the whole class: A yoga class usually starts with a simple posture and gradually escalates the difficulty. After the middle of the class, it is necessary to arrange a difficult pose to highlight the theme of the whole class.

4. Courses are generally arranged according to the process of standing, kneeling, sitting, leaning back and leaning down, but it is not absolute. All the arrangements are arranged around the theme and the target peak posture, and the role of a posture in the course is arranged.

How does a yoga instructor arrange classes?

The first few classes were not bad, but after a while they found it boring;

I can do all the postures I have learned, but I don't know how to line them up;

The teacher clearly talked about the curriculum, but I just couldn't figure it out;

I have been in class for a long time, and the arrangement of each class is similar, which many members will soon remember;

Many new yoga teachers will encounter such problems in teaching, even teachers with long teaching experience. A series of problems emerge slowly, which not only reduces the effect of class, but also reduces the students' recognition of you. Therefore, the reasonable posture arrangement order undoubtedly plays a very important role.

From the perspective of yoga physiology, after careful practice, practitioners can not only exercise the skin, muscles and bones of the body, but also touch the level of energy body from the cellular level. So I began to cultivate the "yoga consciousness" of yoga practitioners.

In this paper, the senior tutor of Zen Yoga Instructor Training College explains the skills and principles of yoga course arrangement for Jia, and takes you out of the predicament of arranging courses:

1. Arrange according to life track: arrange all yoga poses according to sitting posture, kneeling posture, standing posture, kneeling posture, sitting posture, prone position and supine position. Just like people's birth, death and life trajectory, this arrangement is suitable for new coaches who have just graduated. Although it is simple, it is suggested that the new coach practice several times according to the arrangement before the shift change to ensure the smooth and comfortable course.

2. Arranged in the order of chakras opening: There are seven chakras in the human body, from bottom to top, namely: submarine chakra, umbilical chakra, sun gear, heart chakra, throat chakra, eyebrow chakra and crown chakra. The balance of chakras plays a positive role in our emotions and feelings, and the arrangement of postures can be arranged according to the opening order of chakras (generally from bottom to top). For example, you can arrange some postures to open your hips and stabilize your pelvis.

3. Arrange according to the parabola principle: The parabola principle is actually easy to understand. Arranging courses according to this principle, just like a parabola, gives the course a climax, which can be a difficult posture or a more dynamic posture, so that members can have a hearty feeling after the course is over.

4, according to the difficulty of posture: the difficulty of posture here is based on the difficulty of the general public. Any exercise is gradual, so arranging according to the difficulty coefficient of asana is also one of the foundations of yoga asana arrangement. All yoga poses are classified as 1-5 star difficulty level (which can also be subdivided into 10 level according to their own situation), and then in a class, according to the basic situation of the teaching object, different difficulty poses are selected for combination arrangement.

5. Arrangement according to the intensity of poses: All yoga poses can be classified according to different intensity levels of 1-5, and then different intensity poses can be selected for combination arrangement according to the basic situation of the teaching object.

6, according to the theme of the course arrangement: Yoga courses can be divided into different themes according to different practice purposes, such as: shoulder and neck theme, lumbar theme, female conditioning, fat reduction and shaping, pregnancy, postpartum and so on. Taking the arrangement of a shoulder and neck theme as an example, it must be a yoga pose around the shoulder and neck theme, then we can classify the yoga poses related to the shoulder and neck, and then combine the first method (or other methods).

7. Arrange according to the specific situation of the teaching object: Based on the specific actual situation of the teaching object, it is the most basic and important principle and basis, and it is also the most difficult arrangement to grasp.

Curriculum arrangement of yoga training

First, you must know your target audience. You can learn from the course consultant in the yoga studio, or you can go to the classroom in advance to communicate with the members who arrive early. You can also learn, master and understand the needs of the target audience and the main problems you want to solve after class, and then arrange the courses according to the above methods, which will better meet the needs of customers and make our courses more popular with everyone.

To create a good yoga practice environment, the hardware level of the yoga studio is of course that the more money you invest, the more luxurious it is, but what is more important is not these, but the creation of some atmosphere. Needless to say, it is clean and tidy. If there is some faint fragrance in your class, students will feel quiet and peaceful, and they will soon integrate into the yoga atmosphere.

We can choose some incense, Indian incense or essential oil, but we should pay attention to the burning of incense before class to avoid some members' eyes or skin allergies or discomfort. If you choose essential oils in class, try to use those with light smell and calming effect, such as sandalwood and lavender. If the climate is hot, you can choose essential oils with refreshing and bactericidal effects, such as mint and eucalyptus. These essential oils are neutral and will not arouse the dislike of male students.

For the choice of music, we should pay attention to the softness and inflexibility of tunes. If you can find some yoga concerts, so much the better. The albums I introduced before are all very suitable. These spiritual songs will help us open our hearts.

Don't be too bright, yellow light is softer than white light, and there will be a gentle and calm mood when everything is shrouded. Don't turn on the light when resting, it will be easier to relax in the dark. The combination of music, lighting and smell will create a very good artistic conception and atmosphere. If you like, you might as well have a try. It would be better if we could find some ornaments and wall charts with yoga culture!

Some yoga teachers have awkward opening remarks in class. In fact, just slow down, be calm and express your feelings with your heart. The guiding words of action should be carefully scrutinized and concise. For beginners, the focus is on the name, simple origin, efficacy, breathing coordination, taboos and so on. For actions with many effects, just choose a few related actions according to the theme or focus of this course. Gradually, when everyone is proficient, they will focus on guiding him to feel the body and leave some time for students to feel the body.
