Episode 135: WHEN YOGA PROPS HELP AND WHEN THEY DON'T
Yoga props are widely understood as tools for accessibility, but in practice they are often offered as an option rather than a tool to alter the biomechanics of a pose. For students who are injured or managing chronic pain, the gap between those two things matters significantly. This episode examines when props actually change something meaningful in the body and when they create the appearance of a modification without addressing what is really happening, how to think more carefully about the difference, and how to build a class culture where props are part of everyone's practice rather than a signal that something is wrong in students' bodies.
Episode includes:
- When Props Are Not Helpful for Students in Pain
- When Props Are Genuinely Helpful
- Building a Class Culture Where Everyone Uses Props
