How Not to Mistake Right and Left Cues When Teaching Yoga

Yoga teachers often face their students during class and explain things as they go. As a result, teachers must constantly be thinking like a stage director—stage right and stage left. If you regularly get mixed up when teaching Yoga class, relax because you’re not alone!

Whatever room or space you’re teaching in will have distinguishing objects and features that you can call attention to. For instance, there might be one wall with windows, another with a plant, etc. When calling out instructions you can say, “Reach out toward the window wall,” or “plant hand up to the sky.”

It’s a simple way to orient everyone in the room and it works!
