Utilizing yoga techniques with examples to enhance student motivation

Often, there is nothing a yoga teacher can do to reverse lack of student motivation. For example: when students are exposed to a car accident, illness, divorce, death in the family or a change in employment. These are conditions that are beyond the control of a yoga instructor. However, the motivation of students and giving them real-life examples can undoubtedly help. Here are the benefits of using yoga techniques in class with examples and some ways to raise the level of motivation among students.

Show students what to do and keep a record

Keeping records or documenting goals is an excellent way to measure progress toward our goals. When students have a history of all their successes in life, they become a source of inspiration and motivation. That applies not only to yoga but to life itself.

Give your students an example of the weak who succeed in yoga

It is easy to lose the will to continue if we think that we do not deserve anything. It can quickly become a very distorted internal vision, which is why we believe that we fail; we do not earn success. If we think something about ourselves, it must be positive, inspiring and joyful.

As a teacher, make yoga a lifestyle and teach it to your students.

Yoga must become a way of life for students to experience full health. Students should be constantly reminded to practice yoga at home, while traveling or wherever they go. Sit up straight and walk upright and upright, everyday examples of correct positions and correct alignment. The right attitude can be practiced at any time.

Lead as by example

The same can be said of yogic breathing techniques. We breathe all day. So, why not make a conscious effort to breathe correctly? Breathing techniques can be practiced throughout the day. Of course, we may not want to exercise all of them in a public place, but breathing wholly and correctly will increase the quality of our lives. It is a simple technique every students can practice.

Not all yoga skills are taught at the same time

You do not have to learn all yoga skills all at once. You can cover one side briefly, during the week, at the end of the chapter or after the meditation. That would give your yoga students motivation and encouragement.

Give your students yoga techniques to practice at home

You can use yoga techniques that you can practice mentally, at home, while traveling, or between tasks. Regardless of religion, prayer is a universal concept. We live in a time when people say they are too busy to pray. They are busy working and earning money. While it is true that we need money to survive, it is wrong to pretend that we do not have time to pray.

Try teaching your students about prayer

Most yoga classes do not talk about religion or prayer. Prayers and spiritual growth are not covered in detail, because there have been many disputes about religion. However, the concepts of prayer and its benefits are universal for all faiths — a good prayer for spiritual health and motivation.

Apart from yoga, teach them to meditate

A quiet moment for short meditation is tiny. Meditation can help us in many ways, but mental focus also leads to a new state of awareness and motivation for positive changes.

Conclusion

 

Yoga teachers should also develop a newsletter to cover a Yogi’s lifestyle. That would provide information on the benefits of developing a yoga practice at home. Students can make gradual changes in health as a result of the information you provide.
