Can I tell you a secret?
Men and women’s bodies don’t work the same way.
Now you might be thinking…
Yeah, that’s obvious. What does this have to do with my yoga cueing?!
Stick with me here.
If you’re teaching yoga the way you were taught, you may be inadvertently cueing women in a way that contributes to instability, pain and pelvic health concerns.
Even after 500 hours of yoga teacher training, I certainly was.
Until I learned better.
Having a full-body understanding is critical when cueing yoga, specifically for the female body, because no cue takes place in a vacuum.
When you’re cueing the toes to lift, do you know what happens to the female pelvis?
We’re all told women “hold tension in the hips”, but do you know what that actually means?
When you’re telling your students to tuck their tailbones, are you aware of what environment that creates for the female body?
As yoga teachers, you need to be aware of the differences between male and female physiology in order to cue efficiently and effectively.
Considering the effect of your cues on the entire system will completely revolutionize your teaching.
Hi, I’m Adelaide.
I’m a 500+ hr yoga teacher, female physiologist and birth attendant. I run a well-woman care practice, specializing in the connection between biomechanics and pelvic health. I'm so happy you are here! Over the last decade of teaching public yoga classes and supporting women’s health, I’ve come to understand that our language really does matter, and that learning to move with our unique female bodies in mind has a massive impact on our long-term pelvic health.
Our yoga culture is not set up to teach male and female bodies differently, (and many yoga cues prioritize male anatomy).
Considering that more than 80% of yoga practitioners worldwide are women…
this discrepancy harms women, specifically.
But we’re the ones who make yoga culture, and we can change that.
