A yoga instructor explains how pairing every pose with a counterpose prevents injuries. She credits B.K.S. Iyengar's book for listing each posture and its counterposture, and says most modern teacher trainings skip this safety method.
This may be shocking to you, but no one has ever been injured in any of my yoga classes because every yoga pose has a counterpose. And when I create sequences, I keep that in mind. This humongous book, B.K.S.I. Iyengar, outlines poses and counterposes. Every posture has a counterposture that helps that pose be more effective and stops your students from being injured in your class. This style of teaching has fallen out of favor in modern yoga teacher trainings, but understanding the concepts in this book will help you to teach a very safe yoga class and keep people coming back to your class.
