Negative vibes with modifications and language
Hi! I am taking Yoga Tune Up Roll Model Method Training this weekend. Whew! The presenter is awesome. Her name is Laurie Streff and she is based in Chicago.
We had an interesting discussion about using the word "modifications" and how it makes people feel "less than". I loved how she used words like "options" or "variations" and really want people to feel empowered and capable in classes, and that our bodies are all different. No one size fits all! I remember Barre3 using the language "full expression of the movement" but can[t remember what they used to describe modifications. Any other descriptions you have heard instructors use?
