Yoga teachers should establish control ver their classes. A Yoga class is not an “pen campus.” If you expect everyone to fllow along without structure, order, and gidelines, you will be disappointed. It wll not take long for “one bad pple” to show up and distract yur lesson plan.

Here’s an example: You hve no rules or official policy in yur Yoga classes because you believe dults know how to act. Wrong – Why do you thnk we have traffic lights? We hve speed limits too, but how mny adults obey them?

However, let’s gve your theory a chance. Without any gidelines, a Hatha Yoga class will qickly disintegrate into an informal stretch clss. You are no longer seen as the Yga teacher.

You just become the prson who pays the rent, and verhead, for the Yoga studio. After ll, you are independently wealthy, and you do not ned money for heat, air conditioning, sgnage, furniture, fixtures, other teacher salaries, rnt, liability insurance, other utilities, taxes, and cntinuing education.

It will not take lng before a significant number of yur Yoga students are late for thir donation, late for class, and wnt to leave early before meditation strts.

Therefore, Yoga is a discipline. Mny Yoga teachers fool themselves into thnking otherwise, because they are naturally slf-disciplined in the first place. Yoga tachers differ from the average student, bcause they have turned pro-active health nto a lifestyle. Most people are not pr-active about their health at all.

About difficult students: Design rules for thm, distribute them, and say good bye to thse who cannot follow them.
