Question: If you have students with very, very large bellies and say they are uncomfortable in poses on stomach, what is your best suggestion? Eliminate those poses? Offer blankets or props? What exactly would you suggest?
@Lisa Yazdani That is a tricky one. But I do hear you. I am assuming you are referring more to the extension strengthening poses? Revisit the chair section in the AYAMA course level 3 when we do chair yoga. So that would be 1. Another is to do more things like chair and warrior one. Look at all the different ways I teach it.

Have you read my most recent article yet on how stretching may actually be causing you more harm? If not, check it out.
@John Love little adjustments can shift the entire pose and its effects. 😃
May I please ask what, is the neck exercise technique that helped the woman’s arm motion?
@John Love , These were actually addressing the core muscles, which are responsible for stability, and our core muscles' main function is actually trunk rotation. Check out the back series. https://members.theyogi.clu... and review the trunk rotators in the book.
Wonderful! Thanks for this clear concise and true discussion. I found AYAMA one week ago today and am healing fast. I ended all stretching and added at least ten of your “moves” into my Hatha sessions. My clients are starting to shine and pain going away. This video arms me more in how to speak about “THIS TRUTH” ( I use the example of how professional ballet dancers are cutting out static stretches and adding strengthening techniques) from your book! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU Aaron!
@John Love , you are so welcome. I am thrilled you are enjoying this program and the content in The Yogi Club!

Are we going to be straddling the fine line between yoga instructor and a yoga therapist as defined by Yoga Alliance?
@Teri Yoga therapy is TM. SO we don't use that terminaology. Also, to get into the realm of physical therapy, we would need a lot more hours to certify. 😁 IN this level, we begin to identify muscle tightness as way to evaluate muscle weakness.
@Yogi Aaron I did not realize that yoga therapy was a trademarked program.
@Teri Yoga Therapy programs require over 4 years of training (over 1000 hours) and are accredited by the International Association of Yoga Therapists (IAYT.org) - not Yoga Alliance. IAYT is extremely picky about their accreditation. Last I looked, I believe there were only about 70 schools approved. It's not a trademarked term - and can't be because the words themselves are descriptors. Which causes the confusion.
That said, there's a big difference in education between a yoga teacher and a Certified Yoga Therapist (C-IAYT) or licensed physical therapist.
@Kerianne Sidoti Yes, I agree. A lot more training. Yoga Alliance requires those accredited with them to sign an agreement that they are providing yoga instruction not yoga therapy. That is why I brought up the issue.
