何妨放鬆一下妳(你)的心緒，
歇一歇妳(你)的腳步，

The 7 Most Powerful Cues a Yoga Teacher Has Ever Given Me

Sometimes the most simple cues can change someone’s yoga practice—both on and off the mat.

When I practice yoga, I try my best to be attentive, mindful, and at ease. However, more often than not, I get sidetracked: My brain flies to my schedule for the rest of the day, or a conversation I had that I’m not happy about, or an e-mail I forgot to answer. Before I know it, I’m doing a pose half-heartedly (and often, incorrectly), and not getting the full benefit of the practice—or fully enjoying the precious time I’ve allotted for myself to practice and disconnect.

That’s where the best yoga teachers come in: It’s as if they know, just by a certain posture or shift, that the tiniest adjustment can help both bring a student back into the room, and into a stronger, more powerful yoga practice.

Looking to glean some on-point cues for your own practice—or teaching? Here are the most helpful, impactful cues a yoga teacher has ever given me.

Sometimes, once I lie down in Savasana (Corpse Pose), I immediately start thinking about what I’m going to do when I’m out of the studio: What’s the next task on my to-do list? How soon can I get a shower and get to the grocery store? When a yoga teacher gently reminds the class to relax their facial muscles once we settle into Savasana, I realize I am often clenching my jaw or tightening my face in worry. Forcing me to pay attention to this causes my mind to relax, too, and helps me get the full benefit of this ultimately relaxing, most important pose.See also The Subtle Struggle of Savasana

Child’s Pose is a resting pose—one I often come back to when the practice becomes difficult, or I simply need a break. But sometimes, it’s good to receive a reminder that Child’s Pose can be active, too, with only a minor adjustment. When a yoga teacher told me to stretch my arms out longer on my mat and “activate” my fingers by coming up on my fingertips, I was able to achieve a deep opening in my shoulders and upper back. It felt divine, and reminded me that even rest is meaningful and important, and should be intentional—not just a time to zone out and let my mind wander. What a nice reminder that the rest I take outside the yoga studio should be intentional too, and these days, rather than simply vegging out on the couch playing on my phone, I find myself doing more rejuvenating things, like reading, sleeping, playing guitar, or meditating.See also Do Less With More Awareness: Child's Pose

For the longest time, I struggled with Handstand (and still do!), but when I took a class devoted to inversions, I learned something I had never really known: My fingers have a lot of power when it comes to gripping the floor. Learning to find support and strength in the muscles in my fingers while I use my core and feet to kick up into Handstand feels like a revelation. After all, my fingers are one part of my body I never thought about in terms of strength. Now, when I use them to grip the floor, they help carry me into a pose I’d always wanted to get into.

1. “Relax your facial muscles when you’re in Savasana.”

Sometimes, once I lie down in Savasana (Corpse Pose), I immediately start thinking about what I’m going to do when I’m out of the studio: What’s the next task on my to-do list? How soon can I get a shower and get to the grocery store? When a yoga teacher gently reminds the class to relax their facial muscles once we settle into Savasana, I realize I am often clenching my jaw or tightening my face in worry.
