Episode 95:  HOW TO TALK ABOUT PAIN IN CLASS WITHOUT CREATING FEAR
One of the hardest things for yoga teachers is knowing what to say when students mention pain. The language we use can either empower our students or unintentionally create fear that makes them feel fragile or unsafe in their own bodies.
In this episode, I explore how to talk about pain in yoga classes without reinforcing fear-based narratives. You’ll learn why traditional alignment cues like “never round your spine” or “don’t let your knee go past your ankle” can actually plant fear, and how to replace them with supportive, empowering language that helps students explore movement with confidence.
This episode is for you if you want to build confidence in supporting students with pain and injuries without overstepping your scope of practice. When you shift from using restrictive cues to empowering ones, you’ll realize how they create an environment for safer & more supportive spaces for every student in your class.
