"To Correct Is Incorrect"

Everyone is moving in the best way they can with the best tools they have.

There are no inherently bad movements.

Each person in a yoga class is a complex, dynamic organism compromised of numerous subsystems, past experiences, emotions, relationships, beliefs, and an extremely sophisticated nervous system.

Given that our movement emerges out of such unique complexity, how could we possibly know what and how to “correct” in another person’s movement?

As a yoga community, we could use to shift our focus away from “correct alignment”, and more toward exploration, self-knowledge, and helping our students *increase their movement options*.

These types of things can truly make positive change in our students’ bodies - which for me, is the main goal of my yoga practice & teaching!
