1
00:00:01.890 –> 00:00:05.450

Nyk Danu Yoga: Today we are going to talk about

5
00:00:21.340 –> 00:00:27.829
Nyk Danu Yoga: the 10 most common mistakes that I see Yin Yoga teachers make.

6
00:00:28.560 –> 00:00:30.950
Nyk Danu Yoga: All right. We’re going to get into that in just a moment.

7
00:00:31.180 –> 00:00:39.950
Nyk Danu Yoga: But before we do if you are not on the wait list for my yin Yoga teacher training.

8
00:00:40.310 –> 00:00:42.709
Nyk Danu Yoga: you might want to join. Here’s why.

9
00:00:43.920 –> 00:00:58.240
Nyk Danu Yoga: if you’ve been listening to the podcast. For a while, and you have been getting value from the episodes. If you’ve been thinking, hmm! I’d like to study with Nick sometime. Think I’d like to take her training.

10
00:00:58.560 –> 00:01:00.930
Nyk Danu Yoga: Then you should definitely get on the wait list.

11
00:01:03.901 –> 00:01:12.180
Nyk Danu Yoga: Many people that take my training have already taken Yin trainings, and I also have folks that have not taken other yin training, because.

12
00:01:12.680 –> 00:01:32.159
Nyk Danu Yoga: you know, each Yin educator has their own sort of special sauce and their own things that they include in their training. And so even I’ve had students that have taken several Yen trainings. Take my training and still get a lot out of it. And then for those of you that are new to teaching, yen it’s an excellent foundation

13
00:01:32.310 –> 00:01:35.719
Nyk Danu Yoga: for you to be able to get started and have some confidence with.

14
00:01:37.070 –> 00:01:52.010
Nyk Danu Yoga: so that I wanted to mention. If you’ve been listening to these episodes, or we’ve been connecting in the Facebook group or on social media. And you’ve been thinking, huh? Maybe someday I’d like to take Nick’s training. Then you should get on the wait list.

15
00:01:52.210 –> 00:01:54.550
Nyk Danu Yoga: and here are some perks for the waitlist.

16
00:01:55.080 –> 00:02:05.649
Nyk Danu Yoga: 1st of all, where do you find the wait list? Well, let me tell you, my friend, if you look in your episode notes, there’s a link right there that says, get on the wait list. If you click that, and then you look way up by photograph.

17
00:02:05.970 –> 00:02:07.280
Nyk Danu Yoga: There’s a little button.

18
00:02:07.580 –> 00:02:12.900
Nyk Danu Yoga: You get your 1st freebie when you click that and you sign up. There’s also an opportunity at the bottom of the page.

19
00:02:13.030 –> 00:02:18.370
Nyk Danu Yoga: and if you’re there long enough there will be a polite pop up that will slide in from the side and say, Hey.

20
00:02:18.540 –> 00:02:20.089
Nyk Danu Yoga: do you want to be on the wait list.

21
00:02:21.370 –> 00:02:44.309
Nyk Danu Yoga: even if you are not looking at doing the next round. Still, get on the wait list, because along the way to registration opening and to you being ready. Here are some of the things that you will enjoy, my friends. 1st of all, when you sign up, you’re going to get a Pdf of a free sequence. And then a video as well to be able to practice said sequence with me.

22
00:02:45.120 –> 00:02:49.990
Nyk Danu Yoga: then you’re going to get these podcast episodes delivered right in your inbox every week.

23
00:02:50.480 –> 00:03:03.940
Nyk Danu Yoga: And when we’re not podcasting, when we’re on podcasting breaks, you’re gonna get little sneaky peeks behind the scenes, little videos from my training little mini snippets that you can kinda get a little peek behind the curtain.

24
00:03:04.170 –> 00:03:10.460
Nyk Danu Yoga: We’re also going to get sometimes I’ll send out other episodes that I’ve been interviewed on

25
00:03:10.720 –> 00:03:21.250
Nyk Danu Yoga: about yin other people’s podcasts, you’ll also get sometimes I send out poetry

26
00:03:21.890 –> 00:03:24.820
Nyk Danu Yoga: that I use in my classes or music.

27
00:03:26.360 –> 00:03:28.389
Nyk Danu Yoga: See, what else do I give out?

28
00:03:28.820 –> 00:03:45.050
Nyk Danu Yoga: Oh, you’ll also gonna get invitations to my quarterly free class. So every once a quarter I do a free class on Zoom, you’ll get invited to that. You’ll also get an invitation to join my paid class, my yin semesters to come to class with me on Zoom every week.

29
00:03:45.810 –> 00:03:48.840
Nyk Danu Yoga: and you’re going to get

30
00:03:49.080 –> 00:04:02.870
Nyk Danu Yoga: 1st crack an advance notice of registration. So before I make it public on the website before I share it on social media. The 1st place I share it is on the wait list.

31
00:04:03.150 –> 00:04:27.029
Nyk Danu Yoga: I email, the wait list first.st The other thing you get being on the wait list is access to a discount code which at the time of this recording it may change in the future. But at the time of this recording the 1st 5 people that use the code save 25% off. So all of those things are just. For if you’re on the wait list. So even if you don’t think you can make this next current round, but you are interested in joining

32
00:04:27.300 –> 00:04:34.200
Nyk Danu Yoga: my training for the one after that or the one after that. Then get on the wait list. And again, there’s a link

33
00:04:34.510 –> 00:04:37.370
Nyk Danu Yoga: in the episode notes for you to do that.

34
00:04:37.930 –> 00:04:42.740
Nyk Danu Yoga: and then you’ll get all these little nuggets and yin nuggets and bonuses along the way.

35
00:04:43.650 –> 00:04:51.619
Nyk Danu Yoga: That being said also, there’s an option to just get the podcast so when you click there should be

36
00:04:52.170 –> 00:05:04.510
Nyk Danu Yoga: may not be quite finished yet. I’m doing some email list editing at the moment, so it may not quite be there yet. But soon you should be able to choose a wait list or podcast or of course, you could click both.

37
00:05:05.464 –> 00:05:07.040
Nyk Danu Yoga: So if you’re like.

38
00:05:07.180 –> 00:05:17.899
Nyk Danu Yoga: I don’t really want to be on the wait list, because I don’t want to take training with you. But I would really like to get these podcast episodes delivered in your, in my inbox every week, then you can

39
00:05:18.020 –> 00:05:31.169
Nyk Danu Yoga: add the add yourself to the list that says, podcast once once you pick click the button that’ll pop up as an option, and it may or may not again be live. By the time you listen to this I hope it will be, but we shall see.

40
00:05:31.620 –> 00:05:47.410
Nyk Danu Yoga: All right. So that’s that. Get on the wait list, my friends, if you are interested in learning more about Yin Yoga from me. The training at the time of this recording is now 100 HI increased it because I wanted to be able to share more

41
00:05:47.690 –> 00:05:52.979
Nyk Danu Yoga: and dive a little deeper, and also to do more review with with y’all.

42
00:05:53.090 –> 00:05:56.989
Nyk Danu Yoga: So that’s how we learn. We learn by going over things more than once.

43
00:05:57.230 –> 00:06:03.250
Nyk Danu Yoga: Okay, so that’s enough about that. Let’s get into the topic at hand. Shall we?

44
00:06:03.370 –> 00:06:14.609
Nyk Danu Yoga: Before we do? Though, just a reminder that this is an adult podcast with adult subject matter. And I am definitely going to be using adult language at some point. Most likely

45
00:06:14.780 –> 00:06:16.669
Nyk Danu Yoga: I often joke that I have. The

46
00:06:16.860 –> 00:06:23.170
Nyk Danu Yoga: so of them are made of the mouth of a sailor. So if you have small people around, you’re going to want to listen to this one with headphones.

47
00:06:27.480 –> 00:06:29.890
Nyk Danu Yoga: Okay, let’s get into this. Shall we?

48
00:06:34.230 –> 00:06:40.889
Nyk Danu Yoga: 10 mistakes that Yin Yoga teachers make? I have a list in my phone. So if you keep seeing me look down, that’s why.

49
00:06:41.600 –> 00:06:49.550
Nyk Danu Yoga: Oh, and I have done episodes that dive into each of these. I believe, all of them more in depth and

50
00:06:49.700 –> 00:07:00.230
Nyk Danu Yoga: in your episode notes. There is a link also to a Google Doc, which lists all of the episodes that I’ve done. So season 1, 2 episode numbers and names. You’re welcome.

51
00:07:01.670 –> 00:07:07.519
Nyk Danu Yoga: so that’s there. If you would like it. And you can just click the link. And it takes you right to my website where you can listen.

52
00:07:08.210 –> 00:07:09.140
Nyk Danu Yoga: Okay.

53
00:07:10.350 –> 00:07:13.810
Nyk Danu Yoga: So each of these has a more in-depth episode.

54
00:07:14.140 –> 00:07:16.290
Nyk Danu Yoga: Mistake number one.

55
00:07:16.680 –> 00:07:20.359
Nyk Danu Yoga: The most common and probably the worst mistake

56
00:07:20.710 –> 00:07:24.749
Nyk Danu Yoga: that Yin Yoga teachers make is not being trained in Yin Yoga.

57
00:07:26.340 –> 00:07:36.219
Nyk Danu Yoga: thinking that you can teach from a book, or because you’ve been practicing in yourself for a few years. But you’ve not done any in training big big mistake.

58
00:07:37.840 –> 00:07:43.219
Nyk Danu Yoga: It is really a case of you don’t know all of the things that you don’t know.

59
00:07:43.916 –> 00:08:09.739
Nyk Danu Yoga: So season one episode 5. Do you need Yin training to teach Yin, the answer would be, Yes, but if you want much more on that, please check that one out. And again, the Google Doc, with all of these episodes listed is if you click your show notes all episodes at a glance. Bingo! Bango just takes you to a Google Doc where you can scroll down and pick the ones you want to listen to. And then the link takes you to my website where you can listen.

60
00:08:10.550 –> 00:08:14.390
Nyk Danu Yoga: So number one mistake is not being trained to teach yin

61
00:08:14.510 –> 00:08:34.310
Nyk Danu Yoga: teaching. Yin Yoga is quite different than teaching movement forms of Yoga. There’s a lot of subtlety and a lot of nuance, and thinking that yin is just like regular yoga, but with longer holds means that you end up teaching amateur level, uninspired yin classes, and I know that you want more than that.

62
00:08:34.429 –> 00:08:41.720
Nyk Danu Yoga: I know. If you’re listening to the podcast. About teaching Yoga, that you’re committed to being a really good teacher. So

63
00:08:41.940 –> 00:08:58.549
Nyk Danu Yoga: get yourself trained if you’re not already trained in Yin, whether that’s with me or somebody else that you really like and respect and do your do your good research to check their testimonial pages, you know. Look at their training. If you’re if you’re looking at a Yin teacher’s

64
00:08:59.044 –> 00:09:09.090
Nyk Danu Yoga: website and they’re offering a training, and they don’t have a page anywhere that tells you what their training is or who they studied in with. That’s an alarm bell.

65
00:09:09.320 –> 00:09:20.110
Nyk Danu Yoga: So vet your teachers. Well, vet your programs well, but get thyself a yin training. So that’s mistake number one not being trained in yin

66
00:09:21.240 –> 00:09:27.969
Nyk Danu Yoga: mistake number 2 teaching the breath the same way that you would in a movement or a flow class.

67
00:09:28.090 –> 00:09:32.869
Nyk Danu Yoga: So I can always tell when someone was a Vinyasa teacher first, st

68
00:09:33.150 –> 00:09:40.500
Nyk Danu Yoga: and they haven’t got in training or not much in training or experience, because they queue every freaking breath. You know

69
00:09:41.780 –> 00:09:51.330
Nyk Danu Yoga: they you don’t need to have your students inhale and then exhale in unison to come out of a yin pose. That is a vinyasa thing. Let it go

70
00:09:51.820 –> 00:09:54.450
Nyk Danu Yoga: so we don’t need to do Ujjay breath.

71
00:09:54.750 –> 00:09:58.520
Nyk Danu Yoga: We don’t need to cue their breath.

72
00:09:59.065 –> 00:10:05.099
Nyk Danu Yoga: This is not something that needs to happen in a yin practice. Everybody doesn’t need to breathe together.

73
00:10:05.370 –> 00:10:08.649
Nyk Danu Yoga: Now, I’m not saying you can’t offer pranayama techniques.

74
00:10:08.780 –> 00:10:25.549
Nyk Danu Yoga: We don’t actually have an episode on this, but I will in the future. But you just want to pay attention to whatever breaths you are introducing in a yin practice that you really actually understand what that breath is for and what it does, what we want for a yin practice would be

75
00:10:25.670 –> 00:10:41.880
Nyk Danu Yoga: down regulating breaths, nurturing breath techniques, soothing breath techniques nothing energizing. And that would include Ujay in that. So I’m not a big fan of Ujjay, even Indian. I think you should just let that be in your flow class, and you want to teach breath.

76
00:10:42.020 –> 00:10:50.230
Nyk Danu Yoga: If you have education, experience, and lots of practice in Pranayama. And you know which breath techniques are

77
00:10:51.120 –> 00:10:53.180
Nyk Danu Yoga: energetically suitable for yin.

78
00:10:53.360 –> 00:11:08.809
Nyk Danu Yoga: Then please feel free if you don’t. If you didn’t check all those boxes of yes, I’ve studied Pranayama in depth. Yes, I’ve practiced it. Yes, I know and understand which breaths are going to be soothing and down, wriggling to the nervous system. You probably shouldn’t be teaching breathwork.

79
00:11:09.340 –> 00:11:10.880
Nyk Danu Yoga: Just stick to Asana.

80
00:11:11.250 –> 00:11:12.150
Nyk Danu Yoga: Okay?

81
00:11:12.370 –> 00:11:13.530
Nyk Danu Yoga: So the breath.

82
00:11:13.980 –> 00:11:21.040
Nyk Danu Yoga: We do not need to teach the breath the same way you would in a flow, class number 3

83
00:11:21.530 –> 00:11:26.490
Nyk Danu Yoga: being so rigidly attached to your lesson plan that you cannot

84
00:11:27.300 –> 00:11:32.270
Nyk Danu Yoga: fit the needs of the group in front of you into your plan.

85
00:11:32.830 –> 00:11:42.269
Nyk Danu Yoga: So I often joke that I don’t have a class plan. I have a class recipe, because we all know with a recipe, you can add and subtract ingredients as needed. So

86
00:11:42.680 –> 00:11:48.960
Nyk Danu Yoga: let’s use an example. Very practical example. Let’s say that you have your sequence, and you are

87
00:11:49.480 –> 00:11:59.669
Nyk Danu Yoga: committed that you’re going to do saddle pose, and you’ve written it out in your sequence. And then it turns out you’ve got people in the room who’ve got knee issues and can’t do saddle pose

88
00:11:59.920 –> 00:12:03.889
Nyk Danu Yoga: so you can’t be so rigidly attached.

89
00:12:04.730 –> 00:12:07.280
Nyk Danu Yoga: Sure you could offer them an alternative.

90
00:12:07.380 –> 00:12:24.869
Nyk Danu Yoga: or you could offer the whole group an alternative. And this is what I mean by not being attached. Maybe you realize, oh, there’s several people in this room that are not going to be able to do saddle post. What could I give instead? So what could I remove? I could remove saddle post from my sequence. What could I slide in instead.

91
00:12:25.140 –> 00:12:28.360
Nyk Danu Yoga: So it’s a big mistake to be

92
00:12:28.850 –> 00:12:32.079
Nyk Danu Yoga: rigidly attached to your lesson plan.

93
00:12:32.770 –> 00:12:37.759
Nyk Danu Yoga: so much so that you cannot adapt for the needs of the group in front of you.

94
00:12:38.660 –> 00:12:46.489
Nyk Danu Yoga: So that would be mistake number 3, mistake number 4 using alignment cues.

95
00:12:47.230 –> 00:13:03.070
Nyk Danu Yoga: I know that we were. Most of us were trained most, not everybody was trained in some other style of yoga before we find in I was. I was trained in like the alignment style. You know, the alignment kings and queens, so to speak.

96
00:13:03.776 –> 00:13:06.453
Nyk Danu Yoga: I’m doing. Air quotes with alignment.

97
00:13:07.170 –> 00:13:14.459
Nyk Danu Yoga: And if you, as a teacher, are just listening to this and going, wait what we don’t need to. We don’t use alignment. No, no, we don’t.

98
00:13:14.650 –> 00:13:22.690
Nyk Danu Yoga: And if you have not watched anatomy for Yoga, by Paul Grilly again, there’s a link in the notes. Please

99
00:13:22.830 –> 00:13:46.169
Nyk Danu Yoga: sign up for that. It’s just an online streaming video. Now, it used to be DVD. Back when I took it when I grabbed it. But you and it’s not just for yin, it’s for Yoga. So you’re going to watch Paul Grilly demonstrate on multiple bodies how we’re all different. Our bone structure is different, and how that will affect our poses. So there is no air, quotes correct alignment in Yin.

100
00:13:46.530 –> 00:13:52.099
Nyk Danu Yoga: and say that 2 more times there is no correct alignment in Yin.

101
00:13:52.760 –> 00:13:58.180
Nyk Danu Yoga: The correct alignment for your student is the one that fits their body best

102
00:13:58.390 –> 00:14:03.819
Nyk Danu Yoga: so that they can feel the shape that you’re doing in the area that you’re trying to access.

103
00:14:04.370 –> 00:14:07.259
Nyk Danu Yoga: So let’s just use a practical example.

104
00:14:08.060 –> 00:14:12.989
Nyk Danu Yoga: Let’s just say, Swan, or Sleeping Swan Aka in half a cold pigeon.

105
00:14:13.380 –> 00:14:24.110
Nyk Danu Yoga: Let’s just say I want to do that pose, and I might have all kinds of voices in my head about what the correct alignment of that pose is that may not fit at all for my students.

106
00:14:24.370 –> 00:14:33.099
Nyk Danu Yoga: In fact, they may need to move their foot or their knee in a totally different position, or they may need to flip on their back and do a reclined version of that pose.

107
00:14:33.290 –> 00:14:34.260
Nyk Danu Yoga: So

108
00:14:34.460 –> 00:14:42.310
Nyk Danu Yoga: don’t get so dogmatic. You have to let your alignment cues go when you start teaching in, and I’ll let you in on a little secret. Dear teacher.

109
00:14:42.730 –> 00:14:47.579
Nyk Danu Yoga: you ready for it once you learn to teach this way

110
00:14:48.380 –> 00:14:56.849
Nyk Danu Yoga: where you learn to teach about function versus form, meaning what is the point of the pose? Not what does the pose air quotes look like

111
00:14:57.110 –> 00:15:01.579
Nyk Danu Yoga: that will start to infiltrate all of the styles of Yoga. You teach.

112
00:15:01.920 –> 00:15:14.019
Nyk Danu Yoga: you’ll realize, part way through once you really start to embrace this and get comfortable with it in the end. That actually, probably half of the cues that you say in your movement based class either aren’t accurate for everyone or are completely unnecessary.

113
00:15:14.300 –> 00:15:25.080
Nyk Danu Yoga: You’re welcome. So anatomy for Yoga in the show notes. There’s a link. Grab that. Watch it. If you have not already, in my opinion, if you were teaching in, and you have not watched that.

114
00:15:25.760 –> 00:15:28.829
Nyk Danu Yoga: Tisk, tisk, I say, you must. You just must.

115
00:15:29.540 –> 00:15:33.929
Nyk Danu Yoga: Okay. So alignment cues. That is mistake number 4.

116
00:15:34.240 –> 00:15:36.299
Nyk Danu Yoga: Mistake. Number 5.

117
00:15:37.150 –> 00:15:40.990
Nyk Danu Yoga: Oh, and I did. Do. I just want to backtrack a little bit here

118
00:15:43.240 –> 00:15:46.670
Nyk Danu Yoga: I did do an episode on alignment.

119
00:15:47.054 –> 00:15:56.030
Nyk Danu Yoga: I geeked out a little bit with the name, and so I think it was one of the ones that really didn’t get a lot of listens because of the name that I chose

120
00:15:56.250 –> 00:15:59.139
Nyk Danu Yoga: just trying to find what season it’s in. Here it is.

121
00:15:59.660 –> 00:16:01.560
Nyk Danu Yoga: Season 2.

122
00:16:01.900 –> 00:16:03.670
Nyk Danu Yoga: Episode 4.

123
00:16:03.900 –> 00:16:12.359
Nyk Danu Yoga: No alignment rules. You will not be assimilated. So if you get that joke, then you have just outed yourself as a trekkie.

124
00:16:12.750 –> 00:16:18.449
Nyk Danu Yoga: So season 2, episode 4. If you want to hear more about alignment.

125
00:16:19.730 –> 00:16:20.650
Nyk Danu Yoga: Okay?

126
00:16:22.340 –> 00:16:30.460
Nyk Danu Yoga: And then Number 5. As a teacher of yin, you gotta get comfortable with discomfort.

127
00:16:31.600 –> 00:16:41.380
Nyk Danu Yoga: Yep, not only your own discomfort with being in a new experience, so your discomfort with, you know

128
00:16:43.220 –> 00:16:45.380
Nyk Danu Yoga: this new form of Yoga.

129
00:16:45.940 –> 00:16:51.259
Nyk Danu Yoga: your own, maybe discomfort that comes up with the quiet and the still, and all of that.

130
00:16:53.040 –> 00:16:59.669
Nyk Danu Yoga: So please know that this is this is the journey getting comfortable with discomfort.

131
00:16:59.870 –> 00:17:07.030
Nyk Danu Yoga: The other thing you have to get comfortable with is, your students sometimes discomfort?

132
00:17:09.349 –> 00:17:17.579
Nyk Danu Yoga: Yeah, so your students might be uncomfortable. You might be uncomfortable. Being uncomfortable is a very

133
00:17:19.680 –> 00:17:22.099
Nyk Danu Yoga: natural part of a yin practice.

134
00:17:23.630 –> 00:17:31.799
Nyk Danu Yoga: So can you get comfortable with discomfort. I’m just looking here for I did an episode on this

135
00:17:31.950 –> 00:17:33.700
Nyk Danu Yoga: just looking for which one it is.

136
00:17:35.780 –> 00:17:37.240
Nyk Danu Yoga: Stay tuned. Friends.

137
00:17:50.280 –> 00:17:51.240
Nyk Danu Yoga: Okay.

138
00:17:54.400 –> 00:17:59.889
Nyk Danu Yoga: Season 4. Episode 6. Yin Yoga is uncomfortable.

139
00:18:05.090 –> 00:18:20.690
Nyk Danu Yoga: so you have to get comfortable with your own discomfort, and you have to also learn how to embrace your students. Discomfort. And again in each of these episodes I’m spotlighting. I dive into this much deeper each of these topics. So please feel free to check those out.

140
00:18:22.960 –> 00:18:23.900
Nyk Danu Yoga: Okay.

141
00:18:24.750 –> 00:18:29.150
Nyk Danu Yoga: Number 6, that you don’t include variations.

142
00:18:29.590 –> 00:18:41.479
Nyk Danu Yoga: So you show one version of a pose, and that’s it. And you don’t show different versions, or how you could use props, or even, perhaps, if someone needs it, a different pose

143
00:18:41.880 –> 00:18:44.480
Nyk Danu Yoga: for the same area of the body.

144
00:18:45.160 –> 00:18:47.110
Nyk Danu Yoga: So this is a big problem.

145
00:18:49.440 –> 00:18:56.630
Nyk Danu Yoga: So we want to be able to teach a wide variety of bodies and students, and again, that Paul DVD.

146
00:18:56.780 –> 00:19:08.279
Nyk Danu Yoga: Sorry I keep saying DVD. Because I’m old school, and that’s how I had it but that Paul presentation which is now streaming goes through this in depth. So please anatomy for yoga.

147
00:19:08.640 –> 00:19:14.580
Nyk Danu Yoga: Check that out and that will really help you. Once you have a better understanding of what

148
00:19:14.690 –> 00:19:18.360
Nyk Danu Yoga: someone’s limitations in a shape might be.

149
00:19:18.660 –> 00:19:26.410
Nyk Danu Yoga: then it’s a lot easier to decide what else you can give them instead, so

150
00:19:26.880 –> 00:19:33.299
Nyk Danu Yoga: definitely make sure that you check that out for that and then props.

151
00:19:33.420 –> 00:19:36.989
Nyk Danu Yoga: So I did a whole episode on props

152
00:19:37.180 –> 00:19:44.010
Nyk Danu Yoga: with my friend Addie D. Hilster and you know, sometimes

153
00:19:44.130 –> 00:19:48.769
Nyk Danu Yoga: just a new pose for somebody might be needed if it doesn’t work for their body.

154
00:19:49.180 –> 00:19:56.960
Nyk Danu Yoga: or just using some props. So season 3. Episode, one deepening yin the power of props in yin yoga.

155
00:19:57.110 –> 00:19:59.779
Nyk Danu Yoga: So if you want to learn more about like

156
00:20:00.150 –> 00:20:05.280
Nyk Danu Yoga: propping, or when to prop, when not to prop, how to prop, etc, etc.

157
00:20:06.037 –> 00:20:10.080
Nyk Danu Yoga: Please take a moment to check that one out, and that

158
00:20:10.340 –> 00:20:38.489
Nyk Danu Yoga: propping allows you to have many variations for many bodies, but also remember, when you start teaching from a functional perspective meaning, what is the point of this pose? Why did I put this pose here? Oh, I put this pose here so that my students would feel a stretch in their hip and butt area. Well, then, if they can’t do the one that you’ve put in, you’ll know. Oh, I have these other 3 or 4 poses that also get into the hip and butt, and so you’ll be able to swap them out.

159
00:20:38.700 –> 00:20:44.380
Nyk Danu Yoga: But if you’re not teaching intentionally like that, if you’re not teaching functionally.

160
00:20:44.580 –> 00:20:49.179
Nyk Danu Yoga: as in what is the function or the point of this post being in my sequence.

161
00:20:49.540 –> 00:20:53.400
Nyk Danu Yoga: then you’re going to struggle when your students can’t do your shapes.

162
00:20:53.930 –> 00:21:01.870
Nyk Danu Yoga: So mistake number 6 is students do not get mention of variations.

163
00:21:02.330 –> 00:21:05.350
Nyk Danu Yoga: There’s a Smorgasbord of things that you could do

164
00:21:05.860 –> 00:21:33.550
Nyk Danu Yoga: for your hips, and it would be good for you as a teacher to make sure you include, I try to say, like 2 or 3 variations, as I’m talking them through it or showing, and then I just be alert to the group, and if somebody needs something completely different, or a 4th or 5th variation, I’ll kind of address it with that person. I’ll just go over and say, Hey, try a block here. What if we did this post? But I usually offer at least 2 or 3 versions of everything?

165
00:21:34.994 –> 00:21:40.899
Nyk Danu Yoga: So that different bodies can all do the pose or some other pose that’s appropriate.

166
00:21:42.040 –> 00:21:50.870
Nyk Danu Yoga: So that’s mistake. Number 6 don’t include they don’t include variations. And again. You could check out the one on props with Addy for that one

167
00:21:52.236 –> 00:21:56.809
Nyk Danu Yoga: we. We have a little fireside chat and a little rant about props, and

168
00:21:57.030 –> 00:22:01.209
Nyk Danu Yoga: how silly it is that some people think you can’t use props in yin, Yoga.

169
00:22:02.830 –> 00:22:06.980
Nyk Danu Yoga: And if right now you’re thinking, wait a minute. But if you’re using props. Isn’t that restorative?

170
00:22:07.090 –> 00:22:11.370
Nyk Danu Yoga: No, no, I should have added that maybe that’ll be our bonus one.

171
00:22:12.380 –> 00:22:15.689
Nyk Danu Yoga: Our bonus one will be restorative versus yen.

172
00:22:16.760 –> 00:22:17.660
Nyk Danu Yoga: Okay.

173
00:22:19.510 –> 00:22:29.930
Nyk Danu Yoga: Number 7. The 7th mistake that I commonly see yin Yoga teachers make is not allowing

174
00:22:30.070 –> 00:22:32.000
Nyk Danu Yoga: quiet in the class.

175
00:22:33.360 –> 00:22:45.460
Nyk Danu Yoga: Now, whether this be with, you know, music that’s to kind of pumping your jams, you know, like, is your playlist more suitable for a flow class? Or is it actually yin like in nature?

176
00:22:46.010 –> 00:22:55.599
Nyk Danu Yoga: Or whether this is the teacher talking too much, and this happens even with very experienced teachers.

177
00:22:56.880 –> 00:23:07.400
Nyk Danu Yoga: So sometimes I’ll hear teachers say, Well, I I talk more than I’d like to, because, you know, my students are uncomfortable with the silence. Yep, they are.

178
00:23:07.830 –> 00:23:11.459
Nyk Danu Yoga: and that’s not something you need to remove from the experience.

179
00:23:12.070 –> 00:23:17.650
Nyk Danu Yoga: That’s part of the process anytime. We’re doing something new. It’s uncomfortable.

180
00:23:18.010 –> 00:23:21.899
Nyk Danu Yoga: Which is why I mentioned that episode on discomfort.

181
00:23:22.500 –> 00:23:32.289
Nyk Danu Yoga: So they either don’t have enough quiet because they’ve got music that’s not inappropriate, or they’re talking too much

182
00:23:32.970 –> 00:23:38.350
Nyk Danu Yoga: if you have students that are brand new to yin. Yes, a little bit of here’s how yin is different

183
00:23:38.550 –> 00:23:39.829
Nyk Danu Yoga: and then shut up.

184
00:23:40.030 –> 00:23:50.000
Nyk Danu Yoga: Then I have a whole episode on that called dear Yin Yoga, teacher, please shut up, and that is what season is that

185
00:23:50.450 –> 00:23:53.290
Nyk Danu Yoga: season. 2. Episode 7.

186
00:23:54.160 –> 00:24:04.320
Nyk Danu Yoga: So please feel free to check that out on more. For that I also give you some very practical things that you can do as a teacher when you’re sitting at the front of the room, and you feel the urge to keep talking.

187
00:24:04.990 –> 00:24:11.190
Nyk Danu Yoga: and we address why, that happens and what we can do about it in that episode. So please check that out.

188
00:24:13.820 –> 00:24:16.610
Nyk Danu Yoga: Number 8 is parroting.

189
00:24:18.190 –> 00:24:23.550
Nyk Danu Yoga: parroting as in the bird as in. You’re just repeating everything you’ve heard your teachers say

190
00:24:23.780 –> 00:24:30.890
Nyk Danu Yoga: without investigating it for your own experience and without using your own words.

191
00:24:31.280 –> 00:24:41.900
Nyk Danu Yoga: And I get that when you’re a brand new teacher. Sometimes we do just use our teachers words, but pretty quickly on into teaching. I would really encourage you to start to find your own words

192
00:24:42.210 –> 00:24:45.609
Nyk Danu Yoga: one way you can do that is by having a home practice.

193
00:24:46.100 –> 00:24:50.639
Nyk Danu Yoga: Yeah, then, you actually are speaking from your own experience.

194
00:24:50.790 –> 00:24:54.669
Nyk Danu Yoga: So having a home practice helps you to find the words.

195
00:24:55.750 –> 00:25:00.980
Nyk Danu Yoga: And then the other thing that you can do is just really, consciously and deliberately

196
00:25:01.702 –> 00:25:09.569
Nyk Danu Yoga: start wordsmithing when you hear things that you’re saying that you’re like, Oh, is that actually accurate?

197
00:25:09.760 –> 00:25:13.050
Nyk Danu Yoga: Is that what I meant to say here, or

198
00:25:15.760 –> 00:25:27.909
Nyk Danu Yoga: you know? Oh, jeez, I just got that from my teacher. And if you’re not sure, it’s a very interesting experiment. By the way, to record yourself, even just audio, you don’t have to do video while you’re teaching just on your phone

199
00:25:28.220 –> 00:25:39.490
Nyk Danu Yoga: while you’re teaching, and then listen back to it, and you will be shocked at not only the words that you repeat all the time that don’t need to be there. The filler words, I have one. I’m currently working on right now. I currently have the filler word of. Just

200
00:25:40.070 –> 00:25:50.000
Nyk Danu Yoga: I’m just gonna grab my strap. We’re just going to put our foot here. We’re just just Justin. So that’s the one I’m currently working on. But I wouldn’t even know. I said that if I hadn’t recorded myself and listened back.

201
00:25:50.170 –> 00:25:57.320
Nyk Danu Yoga: So recording yourself and listening back is a really great way to find out if you are just parroting what your teacher said.

202
00:25:57.870 –> 00:26:10.279
Nyk Danu Yoga: word for word, and can you start to find your own words, and also don’t be afraid to use critical thinking with things your teacher said you might be repeating things that your teacher said that actually aren’t even accurate.

203
00:26:10.470 –> 00:26:17.589
Nyk Danu Yoga: This is where a lot of these so-called alignment queues come in. We’re just parroting what we learned in our teacher training. But actually.

204
00:26:18.050 –> 00:26:19.959
Nyk Danu Yoga: it’s not even true.

205
00:26:20.780 –> 00:26:27.780
Nyk Danu Yoga: Okay? And then an episode to spotlight, for that would be season 4. Episode one. The power of words

206
00:26:29.380 –> 00:26:36.609
Nyk Danu Yoga: with my lovely friend Lita. So please check that one out. My colleague. The power of words. Episode

207
00:26:36.800 –> 00:26:38.640
Nyk Danu Yoga: one of season 4

208
00:26:42.010 –> 00:26:50.750
Nyk Danu Yoga: number 9 for mistakes that I see yin Yoga teachers making this one is a heated debate.

209
00:26:51.760 –> 00:26:59.360
Nyk Danu Yoga: It’s a good thing. I have a whole episode on it you to listen to, and that is

210
00:27:00.020 –> 00:27:02.719
Nyk Danu Yoga: hands-on adjustments in yin.

211
00:27:04.380 –> 00:27:07.029
Nyk Danu Yoga: Should we be offering hands-on adjustments in Yen?

212
00:27:07.160 –> 00:27:08.869
Nyk Danu Yoga: Yeah, my answer is, no

213
00:27:10.266 –> 00:27:24.929
Nyk Danu Yoga: now will I go around and help? It’s a student with a prop. Sure, that’s not the same as a hands-on adjustment when I talk when I’m saying hands on adjustment, I mean, you’re going and helping your student get into the pose. You’re trying to deepen the pose, etc, etc.

214
00:27:25.300 –> 00:27:27.940
Nyk Danu Yoga: So if you want more on that.

215
00:27:28.650 –> 00:27:33.280
Nyk Danu Yoga: I’m just looking for the season. Season. 2. Episode.

216
00:27:34.040 –> 00:27:45.650
Nyk Danu Yoga: 18 hands off. Should we offer hands-on assist in yin Yoga classes. My answer is, no. You want to learn more about that, and the the details of why I say that

217
00:27:46.890 –> 00:27:57.059
Nyk Danu Yoga: please check that episode out. But one of the 1st ones is that’s not trauma, informed. The second one is that we’re not actually trying to deepen our students poses again.

218
00:27:57.570 –> 00:28:03.460
Nyk Danu Yoga: In fact, we’re trying to practice in a moderate range of sensation moderate.

219
00:28:03.820 –> 00:28:06.510
Nyk Danu Yoga: So if you’re not trying to get them deeper.

220
00:28:07.430 –> 00:28:11.890
Nyk Danu Yoga: then why are you touching them now?

221
00:28:12.500 –> 00:28:27.839
Nyk Danu Yoga: I will say, if you are a massage therapist, or you are an acupressurist, and you have a class that includes those elements, and it is clearly listed in your description. This this class offers massage or acupressure. That’s different.

222
00:28:28.050 –> 00:28:31.360
Nyk Danu Yoga: you know. If that’s part of the class and you have it

223
00:28:31.610 –> 00:28:41.680
Nyk Danu Yoga: clearly labeled. So people know you’ll be touching them. Totally different story. But just walking around the room while everyone’s all chill and quiet, and then randomly adjusting people

224
00:28:41.830 –> 00:28:47.619
Nyk Danu Yoga: not cool. Especially in a yin practice. And yes, I know there’s consent. Cards

225
00:28:47.850 –> 00:28:56.600
Nyk Danu Yoga: I don’t care. That’s still not good enough. Listen to. Episode 18 of season

226
00:28:58.050 –> 00:29:04.259
Nyk Danu Yoga: 2 for more. On that I go into that quite in depth. There may be some things in there that you hadn’t considered.

227
00:29:04.530 –> 00:29:05.780
Nyk Danu Yoga: It is possible.

228
00:29:08.710 –> 00:29:18.410
Nyk Danu Yoga: Number 10 not making the Yoga poses accessible accessibility.

229
00:29:18.800 –> 00:29:30.559
Nyk Danu Yoga: So how do we do that? I am going to do a whole episode on this later. So other than the one with Addie and props I don’t have one to link to at this 1 point about this. I’m working on it.

230
00:29:31.368 –> 00:29:42.170
Nyk Danu Yoga: But let’s just say that not everybody is flexible, and not everybody has a lot of joint range of motion in their joints. So how can you make these poses accessible

231
00:29:42.480 –> 00:29:45.089
Nyk Danu Yoga: for a wide range of students.

232
00:29:45.350 –> 00:29:52.010
Nyk Danu Yoga: So 1st of all, it starts with understanding skeletal variation. Because if you don’t understand and acknowledge that everyone’s different.

233
00:29:52.280 –> 00:29:56.689
Nyk Danu Yoga: then how in the world are you going to make the class accessible for more people.

234
00:29:57.120 –> 00:30:22.090
Nyk Danu Yoga: Number 2. You want to be at no function over form, so you will not be assimilated. Episode if we understand the function or the point of the pose, then it’s easy for us to give people something else to do. If what we have chosen doesn’t work for their body that helps to keep things accessible, using props helps to keep things accessible for people. And then the final little teaser that I’ll give

235
00:30:22.480 –> 00:30:40.090
Nyk Danu Yoga: because I will do. A whole episode on this later is to start when you talk about your shapes, and this is probably the opposite of how many of us were trained. When you start talking about your pose or demonstrating your pose, don’t start at the strongest or the most air quotes advanced version

236
00:30:40.350 –> 00:30:45.459
Nyk Danu Yoga: air quotes, there’s no such thing. I did do a whole episode on Advanced Inn.

237
00:30:45.990 –> 00:30:51.660
Nyk Danu Yoga: So we’re not showing the advanced version air quotes for around advanced

238
00:30:51.860 –> 00:30:57.490
Nyk Danu Yoga: and then saying, Oh, but if you can’t do that, then you could do this, this, this and that.

239
00:30:57.780 –> 00:31:01.079
Nyk Danu Yoga: so that is not teaching in an accessible way.

240
00:31:01.510 –> 00:31:13.519
Nyk Danu Yoga: If anything you want to start the other way around. And if they weren’t trained this way, it’s going to take effort and practice and retraining in order to kind of wrap your head around this, but that’s good.

241
00:31:13.920 –> 00:31:15.480
Nyk Danu Yoga: It’s good to learn new things.

242
00:31:15.670 –> 00:31:22.060
Nyk Danu Yoga: So instead, I want you to start with. If you’re trying to think about accessibility. Start with the most

243
00:31:22.220 –> 00:31:30.070
Nyk Danu Yoga: easy version of the post air quotes again around easy, because what’s easy for one is hard for someone else. What’s hard, for one is easy for someone else.

244
00:31:30.420 –> 00:31:36.890
Nyk Danu Yoga: but start with the most soft, accessible, or propped version, and then

245
00:31:37.410 –> 00:31:45.340
Nyk Danu Yoga: offer a couple other options that are a little bit stronger. I don’t ever demonstrate the air quotes full pose.

246
00:31:45.670 –> 00:32:10.600
Nyk Danu Yoga: even if I can do that with my body in my yin classes, because we want to start to. If we’re thinking about teaching excessively, we want to start getting away from this idea that you know, there’s a goal pose to get to that. If we just keep practice practice, all is coming, and then eventually we’ll get to you know this complete version or this advanced version of a pose. That’s not true.

247
00:32:11.240 –> 00:32:16.969
Nyk Danu Yoga: A lot of people will never, because of their bone structure. So we need to get this idea of.

248
00:32:17.120 –> 00:32:22.870
Nyk Danu Yoga: you know, beginner, intermediate, advanced out of our heads and just go.

249
00:32:22.990 –> 00:32:27.100
Nyk Danu Yoga: Here’s a version. Here’s a version. Here’s a version.

250
00:32:27.240 –> 00:32:32.300
Nyk Danu Yoga: and I always start with the most supported and the most accessible version.

251
00:32:32.490 –> 00:32:36.760
Nyk Danu Yoga: and then add complication or depth from there

252
00:32:36.880 –> 00:32:58.399
Nyk Danu Yoga: so backwards, from how most of us were trained. Most of us were trained to teach the full pose and then use props for people who air quotes can’t do the full pose or the air quotes advanced pose. And I’m suggesting that you completely reverse that. So we will. I will do at some point a whole episode on ways to make your yin classes more accessible.

253
00:32:58.510 –> 00:33:03.170
Nyk Danu Yoga: So just know that that will come, but for now I could spotlight.

254
00:33:03.510 –> 00:33:06.490
Nyk Danu Yoga: Season 2. What is advanced? Yin?

255
00:33:07.190 –> 00:33:18.046
Nyk Danu Yoga: That would be a good one to check out, and then again episode 4 in season 2. No alignment rules. You will not be assimilated, also a good one to check out. And then I mentioned that.

256
00:33:18.460 –> 00:33:21.550
Nyk Danu Yoga: You know the episode with Addie with props.

257
00:33:22.039 –> 00:33:32.949
Nyk Danu Yoga: That was in season 3. And then I mentioned that some of you might be thinking, well, wait if we’re using a bunch of props in yin. How is that not restorative? Well, my friends, let’s make this our

258
00:33:33.070 –> 00:33:37.339
Nyk Danu Yoga: bonus. I said 10 things, but let’s make this one the 11.th

259
00:33:37.890 –> 00:33:49.830
Nyk Danu Yoga: Another mistake that yin teachers make is not understanding the difference between yin yoga and restorative. Yoga, and I’ll give you a hint. Props have nothing to do with whether or not it’s yin or restorative.

260
00:33:49.980 –> 00:33:53.559
Nyk Danu Yoga: and if you’re like, say, what then? You could listen to

261
00:33:54.110 –> 00:34:06.360
Nyk Danu Yoga: season 2. Episode 2. Yin versus restorative. I break this down in depth as to what the differences are between these 2 practices that are often confused. The line

262
00:34:06.540 –> 00:34:10.690
Nyk Danu Yoga: is often blurry in these, so you know.

263
00:34:11.100 –> 00:34:21.750
Nyk Danu Yoga: please check that one out if you are confused a little bit, if you’re not a hundred percent clear and like, if a student said to you, I don’t get it. What’s the difference between yin and restorative? And you couldn’t tell them.

264
00:34:21.960 –> 00:34:23.310
Nyk Danu Yoga: Listen to that episode.

265
00:34:23.610 –> 00:34:26.150
Nyk Danu Yoga: And then again, spotlighting

266
00:34:26.260 –> 00:34:37.460
Nyk Danu Yoga: season 3. Episode, one deepening yin the power of props in yin yoga with my colleague, Addie D. Hilster, that’s another key to making your poses more accessible.

267
00:34:38.159 –> 00:34:41.080
Nyk Danu Yoga: All right. So that’s my roundup.

268
00:34:41.310 –> 00:34:45.060
Nyk Danu Yoga: So let’s go over those again in summary.

269
00:34:47.020 –> 00:34:53.169
Nyk Danu Yoga: the 10 mistakes and 11 for the bonus that Yin Yoga teachers make one, not being trained.

270
00:34:53.750 –> 00:35:01.559
Nyk Danu Yoga: 2. Teaching the breath the same way you would in a flow class or teaching breaths that are energetically a mismatch for a yin

271
00:35:02.330 –> 00:35:11.139
Nyk Danu Yoga: 3. Attachment to your lesson, plan to the point where you can’t add and subtract ingredients if needed, for the needs of the people in front of you.

272
00:35:11.440 –> 00:35:19.640
Nyk Danu Yoga: Number 4 alignment cues number 5 not being comfortable with discomfort.

273
00:35:20.970 –> 00:35:24.620
Nyk Danu Yoga: Number 6, not including variations.

274
00:35:25.460 –> 00:35:26.820
Nyk Danu Yoga: Number 7.

275
00:35:27.290 –> 00:35:34.679
Nyk Danu Yoga: Not enough quiet, too much talking or music. That is way, too up-tempo for the experience of a Yin class

276
00:35:35.310 –> 00:35:40.999
Nyk Danu Yoga: number 8. Parroting have not having a deep practice and using your own words

277
00:35:42.090 –> 00:35:46.400
Nyk Danu Yoga: and number 9 hands on adjusts or assists.

278
00:35:47.730 –> 00:35:52.199
Nyk Danu Yoga: and number 10, not making poses accessible via props

279
00:35:52.500 –> 00:36:04.669
Nyk Danu Yoga: and the bonus one number 11, not understanding the difference between yin and restorative that wasn’t on my list, but I decided to add it in, because it’s probably going to come up as you listen to this.

280
00:36:05.400 –> 00:36:15.077
Nyk Danu Yoga: Alright, my friends, remember that all of these are available in a Google, Doc, if you’re on your little appie, poo listening whether it’s spotify or

281
00:36:15.600 –> 00:36:28.169
Nyk Danu Yoga: apple. If you just go into the episode notes, there’s some links there, and one of them is, see all episodes at a glance. And that will take you right to the Google Doc that has all of these episodes on there now.

282
00:36:28.500 –> 00:36:30.440
Nyk Danu Yoga: I just found out

283
00:36:31.140 –> 00:36:38.120
Nyk Danu Yoga: from somebody that reached out for feedback, and so I won’t start it this season, but I may start it for the next season.

284
00:36:38.330 –> 00:37:02.269
Nyk Danu Yoga: that on Apple it’ll say, you know, season this episode, this, like the numbers, will show up, but on spotify, which is what I use for my my platform to upload them to, even though Spotify asks me for a season and an episode number which I enter every time. It doesn’t show you that in the description it doesn’t say episode blank or season blank.

285
00:37:02.720 –> 00:37:10.800
Nyk Danu Yoga: That’s kind of silly spotify. If you’re listening, why are you asking me to put it in on the back end, if you will not make it visible on the app

286
00:37:11.000 –> 00:37:16.299
Nyk Danu Yoga: that is silly, so again can’t go back and do all of them now.

287
00:37:16.825 –> 00:37:20.730
Nyk Danu Yoga: But it’s something I’ll try to keep in mind for the future.

288
00:37:21.323 –> 00:37:26.090
Nyk Danu Yoga: To maybe put that as the beginning of my blurby thing.

289
00:37:26.508 –> 00:37:43.780
Nyk Danu Yoga: The only problem with that that I can foresee is that occasionally I do move episodes around which could make that messy. But we will consider that so my apologies, if you are on spotify and you can’t easily find Season 1, 2, 3 in the episode numbers. But if you go to the Google, Doc.

290
00:37:44.050 –> 00:37:46.049
Nyk Danu Yoga: you can listen to them all from my website.

291
00:37:46.190 –> 00:37:48.480
Nyk Danu Yoga: and they’re all seasoned out there

292
00:37:49.250 –> 00:37:56.950
Nyk Danu Yoga: seasoned and episode numbers are all there with a link so that you can go right into listening.

293
00:37:57.750 –> 00:37:59.180
Nyk Danu Yoga: All right, my friends.

294
00:37:59.360 –> 00:38:01.329
Nyk Danu Yoga: I hope that you found this helpful.

295
00:38:01.340 –> 00:38:27.500
Nyk Danu Yoga: I would love to know from you. So if you are watching this on Youtube. Let me know in the comments, if you are on spotify, you can also comment. If you’re on Apple, just, you know, send me a DM. On Instagram, or if you are on Facebook and you’ve seen this episode posted, let me know in the comments which mistakes did I forget? So I did 11 common mistakes that Yoga teachers make. I’d love to know which ones I missed.

296
00:38:27.500 –> 00:38:40.629
Nyk Danu Yoga: Are there any common mistakes that you see, or mistakes that you made in the beginning, before you had a lot of training or experience in Yen that you were like now in hindsight. Oh, that was a mistake. All right, let me know in the comments.

297
00:38:40.870 –> 00:38:46.610
Nyk Danu Yoga: And may I ask a favor before I send you on your way? If you have not rated

298
00:38:46.890 –> 00:39:01.299
Nyk Danu Yoga: this podcast if you wouldn’t mind pausing and just dropping in 5 stars, whether you’re on apple or spotify on apple, you can also leave a written review would be amazing. And if you’re on Youtube, please take a moment to subscribe. And like the video.

299
00:39:01.450 –> 00:39:16.809
Nyk Danu Yoga: all of these little things that you could do that would take 2 min really help the exposure of the show. It tells the algorithms that people like this that people are listening. And so it’s more likely to show the videos or the episodes to people in search.

300
00:39:17.800 –> 00:39:22.129
Nyk Danu Yoga: Okay, friends, that’s it. For today. I hope that you have a wonderful week.

301
00:39:22.642 –> 00:39:27.950
Nyk Danu Yoga: and weekend depending on when you’re listening to this, and until we meet again. Bye, for now.
