À propos de cet audio
Master how to teach thoracic rotation in twisting poses. Learn teacher cues that protect students' lower backs and create genuine rotation from the rib cage.
Here's what your teacher training didn't tell you: when you cue "twist deeper," most students collapse their chest, round their spine, and crank on their lower back. And if you don't understand the biomechanics of thoracic vs. lumbar rotation, you're inadvertently teaching them to injure themselves.
In this episode specifically designed for yoga teachers, we break down the fundamental anatomical principle that separates safe, effective twisting instruction from the kind that creates SI joint dysfunction and chronic lower back pain: teach your students to twist from their ribs, not their spine.
You'll discover why "inhale lengthen, exhale twist" is a good start but completely insufficient on its own, how triangle pose becomes a corrective twist through rib cage mechanics, and the precise cueing strategies that help students feel the difference between lumbar compensation and genuine thoracic rotation.
