Module 3 Project
This Module’s Daily Homework:
Do 10 minutes of Personal Yoga Practice a day, with a little extra emphasis on Fluid Forward Folds
Make cue cards to help you practice-teach the postures from this module. Whenever possible, take time to teach a friend or family member your postures from the week.
Meditate for at least 15 minutes a day, using the guided practices in the class website, or self guiding with practices from the ShambhavAnanda Yoga Lineage.
This Module’s Project:
This module's assignment is to record yourself teaching the postures from this module, fluid forward folds. Remember, you do not need, nor should you try, to teach all the postures in 8 minutes— that is actually the opposite of our goal. Teach in a natural way, exploring all you have to offer about each posture in a way that mirrors a normal yoga class setting. Teach both sides of each posture and try to use the Sanskrit names whenever possible. Do not teach counterposes or sequences; simply move from one posture to the next. Start with something easy to get started, but always emphasize the more challenging postures in each group. Utilize this opportunity to receive personalized feedback. Detailed instructions for recording, uploading, and commenting are provided below. We look forward to seeing your work in the comment box.

Additional Notes on Uploading to YouTube:
Before delving into YouTube's format or usage, it's crucial to clarify that all the work we undertake on YouTube will be unlisted. This means that it won't be searchable or accessible to the general public without the exact URL. This approach prioritizes your safety and security, especially in the learning environment we're creating which can be a vulnerable space. The pages we're working on as a group are password-protected, ensuring only students can access them, and the videos on YouTube will be unlisted as an additional layer of privacy.
That being said, it should also be noted that this setup offers some really unique benefits. For instance, while the videos won't be publicly available, you can still utilize your own video at a later time to show a prospective student, or as an additional resource in your classes. Additionally, having access to recordings of your teaching sessions allows for self-reflection and learning, while also offering insights from other students' experiences. This setup enhances the learning process and provides a valuable resource for your personal growth and development as a teacher.
We've opted to utilize YouTube as our platform for sharing videos due to its accessibility across all devices, including phones, tablets, and computers. While YouTube offers convenience, it's important to acknowledge that no sharing format is perfect. Each platform requires some level of patience and willingness to delve into technical details to ensure smooth operation. If you encounter any issues, such as a presentation not uploading correctly, please reach out to us, and we'll assist you in resolving the issue. We appreciate your patience and persistence as we navigate this process together. Rest assured, YouTube remains the simplest format we've found for sharing this type of work collectively.
