3 Mini Tips for Making Your Corporate Class Super Unique

 

 

 

I have the high honor of teaching chair yoga and nidra at a hospital once a week to a group of patients with Parkinson's Disease. I am learning so much from the participants that join this class each week and here are a few take-aways that might inspire you for your corporate classes.

 

 

 

 

May you find these three tips helpful to create your own unique corporate yoga class:

 

1. Accidentally, one week a student set her chair up so she started to form a circle instead of a line. Since, I have kept our class in a circle format and everyone really enjoys that. It feels more collaborative, fun and friendly.

2. It popped in my head before class the other day that I should start with an ice breaker. I have been having students state their name and we all say hello (this works for our group of about 5-7). This week I had them add a word that described themselves that also started with the letter of their first name. There were laughs and moving moments. When one participant couldn't think of a word that started with B, a handful of other students immediately said 'beautiful' together and she LOVED it. I am going to continue with an "ice breaker" each week because it really set a wonderful mood and bonded our group.

3. I have been experimenting with working with the left and right side of the body in different ways. For example, we first did a shoulder roll flow with just the right shoulder for several rounds, then just the left shoulder and then alternated right/left.
