That’s a really interesting point about breathing. I’m a classically trained, if amateur, singer and by the time I started yoga in my late 20s I’d been singing for over a decade. So patterns of deep diaphragmatic breathing were normal for me, even in everyday life. The first time I did child’s pose I thought I was going to suffocate because my diaphragm felt like it was being squashed. My teacher at the time assured me that I’d quickly learn to breathe into my back. But I never have, and I e never felt comfortable in child’s pose. Now I know why. I really don’t miss it!

@Claire Warwick ​our inner wisdom is often screaming at us. But people who have now knowledge about what they are talking about often gaslight us unknowingly. Bless to those teachers, but they need to up their game. 🫢😂

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.

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!
