In this video What to emphasize with the two types of students - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

In this video… ❖ What to emphasize with the two types of students ❖ Common mistakes ❖ How to avoid crashing into the wall ❖ How to work away from the wall

What to emphasize… ❖ Oh-goody student: ❖ Slow down and work with control ❖ Oh-no student: ❖ Stay at prep level until comfortable (or even eager!)

What not to do… ❖ Hopping up ❖ No way to control the momentum ❖ Falling is almost guaranteed ❖ Unfurling too early ❖ Too much weight going forward ❖ Donkey kicks ❖ Second leg will pull first leg down ❖ Falling is almost guaranteed

How to avoid crashing ❖ work slowly with control ❖ get hips high up over shoulders ❖ step into pose lightly ❖ keep core engaged ❖ bend lower leg to touch wall ❖ press hips forward ❖ lift up out of shoulders

How to work away from wall ❖ If hips land on wall, bend lower leg onto wall ❖ Press hips away ❖ Eventually straighten lower leg up
