Being a yoga instructor, it is vital that you keep up to date on new teaching techniques for the different poses and routines that your clientele prefers. A current new technique is, teaching advanced poses from a prone position. As the student is in this position, it is now possible to carefully show them how to prepare their muscles for advanced arm balances while at the same time allowing the other muscle to be in a smooth revolution.
This position is very effective because your body is aligned with gravity. It also ensures that the muscles are muscles are correctly engaged and you can therefore proceed with confidence.
As a practical example, adopt a pose whose learning curve is moderate. Then imagine how to get the major muscle actions taught from a supine posture. If you are teaching the crow pose, get the serratus anterior of your students engaged, and their shoulder blades retracted.
As they are in this position, maintain a strong firm core, the knees are placed on the outer boundaries of the triceps. This routine will allow for signals to be sent continuously to the neuromuscular system and is recreated later when you take on the arm balances.
Poses can be modified by the instructor in order to affect muscles that are not often used. A major factor that instructors now have to contend with is the issue that both the cow face pose and the pigeon pose, two very popular yoga hip openers, are not as effective in addressing problems with the human body. It is now a widespread belief that common yoga routines do not address the tensor fasciae latae and the psoas, which are essential in hip openers.
A solution would be to make a refinement of the classical pose by focusing on the upper hip. Contemporary instructors now teach their students the fire log pose while being seated and reclining with your knees in equal or same position. This has the ability of creating a distinctive pull that is hard to accomplish with the regular yoga pose on the tensor fascia latae.
While practicing yoga exercise on your own, you need to visualize the experiences of your life and let them pass across your points. For instance, in the pose of the tree, cue "shine the points of the hips forwards in the same way or manner like the headlights of a car on the road", or in the the extended triangle position or pose, cue, "put up the arm on your right towards the ceiling similar to the way the sail of a boat in the wind is".
