CE Workshop | The Art of Asking: How to Teach Inquiry-Based Yoga Classes

A yoga class is a fine balance of the objective and the subjective: the yoga teacher offers a sequence and suggestions, and each student learns, experiences and integrates the class content differently.

In this workshop, Erin Ehlers will offer a short asana sequence to demonstrate how to balance objective instructions and posing questions to develop your students’ understanding of themselves. In our discussion, you will learn:

· How asking your students the right questions can inspire self-reflection
