Many traditional yoga cues were created with a focus on achievement, not wellbeing. Even though many yoga teachers today want to prioritize wellbeing, they are stuck using cues that actively undermine their intended focus.

Learning outcomes 1. Learn to recognize yoga cues that inhibit embodiment and wellbeing 2.
