06-Feb-2025
In this video, we explore the concept of truth levels—a framework for assessing a student's practice based on physical ability and self-awareness.
This principle guides yoga teachers in selecting poses, structuring sequences, and determining the complexity of cues.
By understanding truth levels, teachers can create more intentional transitions, adjust the intensity of postures, and meet students where they are in their practice.
