Traditionally, alignment was taught as a set of fixed, universal principles—certain cues, angles, and posture requirements that were considered "correct" for all bodies. However, modern discussions, influenced by movement science, biomechanics, and inclusivity, now emphasize functional movement, individual variation, and nervous system safety over rigid alignment rules.
Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, today we’re exploring how alignment can be personalized, empowering, and adaptable rather than rigid or fear-based.
In this episode, I’m going to focus on two perspectives that we once had but are moving away from, thank goodness!
They are: alignment is one-size-fits-all and fear-based cues.

The alignment conversation.
This is a big one with manydifferent beliefs around it.
I wanna begin to tackle it, butto do that, I want to be mindful
of your time and how you receiveinformation.
If I were to cram all of mythoughts into this one episode,
it might go on quite long.
(00:21):
You might tune out.
And it may be too muchinformation to receive at once.
My career in education hastaught me how to disseminate
information easily and give youspace to ponder it.
In this episode, I'm going tofocus on two perspectives that
we once had, but are moving awayfrom.
(00:42):
They are, alignment is one sizefits all, and using fear-based
cues.
Welcome to the EssentialConversations for Yoga Teachers
Podcast with me.
I'm Monica Bright and I've beenteaching yoga and running my
yoga business for over a decade.
(01:03):
This is the podcast for you.
If you are a yoga teacher,you're looking for support.
You love to be in conversation,and you're a lifelong student.
In this podcast, I'll share withyou.
My life as a yoga teacher, thelessons I've learned, my process
for building my business andhelpful ideas, tools, strategies
(01:27):
and systems I use and you canuse so that your business
thrives.
We'll cover a diverse range oftopics that will help you,
whether you're just starting outor you've got years under your
belt and you wanna dive deep andset yourself up for success.
I am so glad you're here.
(01:47):
Listen, I don't take myself tooseriously, so expect to hear
some laughs along the way.
Now let's do this together.
Welcome back to the podcast.
I'm Monica, and I'm so gladyou're here.
You know, I love havingconversations around anatomy,
(02:09):
pain, injuries, the nervoussystem, and how these affect
your sequencing.
In my continuing education, Ifound that these different
conversations were not beingtied together.
Meaning if I wanted to learnmore about anatomy, I was just
learning anatomy.
It wasn't.
Being practically applied toyoga, I had to put those pieces
(02:32):
together myself.
And while I was doing that, Istarted diving into certain
subjects, one being alignmentand why we're so rigid when it
comes to it.
I know a big part is safety,right?
We want to keep our studentssafe first and foremost, but
then I started asking myself thequestion, is our understanding
(02:56):
of correct alignment safe forall students?
That took me down a deep rabbithole question.
I.
Do you believe the conversationaround alignment in yoga has
evolved significantly over theyears?
Well, traditionally, alignmentwas taught as a set of fixed
(03:17):
universal principles, certaincues, angles, and posture
requirements that wereconsidered.
Correct for all bodies.
However, modern discussionsinfluenced by movement, science,
biomechanics, and inclusivitynow emphasize functional
(03:37):
movement, individual variation,and nervous system safety over
rigid alignment.
Rules instead of a one size fitsall approach.
Today we're exploring howalignment can be personalized,
empowering, and adaptable ratherthan rigid or fear-based.
(03:59):
In this episode, I'm going tofocus on two perspectives that
we once had but are moving awayfrom.
Those are alignment is one sizefits all, and fear-based cues.
I do believe we taught this wayin good faith.
We thought that we must teachstudents how to do the pose
(04:20):
correctly based on the visualswe saw or what we were once
taught.
If you have the book Light onYoga by BKS Iyengar, which by
many is considered the book tohave some yoga teacher
trainings, even include thisbook in their required reading
list.
I do believe this book doesoffer some value.
(04:42):
However, if you're sticking tothese rigid alignment rules, you
may want to reconsider.
First, let's talk about why onesize fits all alignment.
Belief is problematic.
In the past, we believe thatalignment was a universal
formula.
There was a right way to do eachpose.
(05:02):
For example, the knee must bestacked over the ankle in
Warrior two.
But this isn't attainable formany yoga students.
Like I mentioned before, thegoal was either to match
textbook images of poses orreteach what we had learned in
the past.
Now we realize a few things.
(05:24):
Number one, bodies aredifferent.
Not everyone will or should lookthe same in a pose.
Number two, alignment should befunctional, meaning it supports
the individual's movement needsrather than forcing a specific
aesthetic.
And number three, you are nowencouraged to offer variations
(05:48):
based on body structure, rangeof motion, and joint function,
as opposed to offering strictalignment cues.
We know that there is nouniversal perfect alignment.
Only alignment that works foreach person's unique body.
One size fits all.
Alignment doesn't work becausebodies are different.
(06:10):
Students have different goals,and students have various
movement and injury histories intheir bodies.
Let's talk about how you canshift towards a more
individualized approach in youralignment.
Queuing.
Number one, you can offermodifications for different body
types.
Encourage your students toadjust poses based on their
(06:33):
structure, strength, andcomfort.
Level number two, teach studentsto experiment with different
stances and positions.
For example, in downward facingdog, some students feel more
stable with bent knees ratherthan forcing straight legs.
Some students enjoy a wider handplacement than shoulder width
(06:57):
than others, so give them achance to play around with what
feels best in their bodies.
Then consider number three,teaching alignment as a
spectrum, not a strict rule.
Instead of saying, your kneemust be at exactly 90 degrees in
Warrior two, say, play aroundwith the amount of bin you take
(07:19):
and find what feels strong andsteady for you Or as opposed to
saying, square your hips towardsthe left side of the room in
Warrior two say, turn your hipsas much as it feels good on your
front knee.
You see how I'm not making thestudent feel as though they must
follow my alignment rules.
(07:41):
Instead, I'm asking them to findwhat feels right for them and to
practice their alignment in thatway.
I would suggest that if younotice a student practicing a
particular alignment, that mightlook problematic to you to not
immediately try to correct that,but instead have a conversation
(08:02):
with the student.
Ask them how it feels, and askthem to notice over time how it
continues to feel.
Okay.
Just because it looksproblematic to you does not
necessarily mean that it'spotentially injurious to them,
and you should give them thatfreedom to move and explore when
(08:23):
you teach, try to make the posesadaptable, explorative, and
personalized.
Let's talk about fear-basedalignment cues.
Again, I think we were usingthese cues because we believed
they were helpful, but sometimeswe were using them because we
heard another teacher use themand added them to our teaching
(08:46):
without really understandingwhether or not they were valid.
Some fear-based language hasincluded the following.
Have you used any of these?
And don't worry, I'm not callingyou out.
I'm guilty of using these samecues as well, okay?
The first is never let your kneego past your toes in a lunge or
(09:10):
in warrior pose because you'llhurt your knee allowing the need
to move past the toes iscompletely natural.
I mean, you do it in movementslike squats or even walking
upstairs.
A better approach is to say,let's focus on engaging the
musculature in the front leg.
(09:32):
Notice how it feels, and adjustthe bend in your knee so that it
feels right for you.
Okay.
Have you ever queued to alwayskeep a flat back in, forward
folds to protect your spine?
Well, your spine is designed toflex, extend, and move in
different ways, so rounding.
(09:55):
Isn't inherently dangerous.
Instead, you could say, ifrounding your back feels good,
allow it.
If it creates discomfort, try adifferent variation.
I was in a class recently andthe teacher said, if you don't
do this, pose the right way,you'll create long-term
imbalances.
(10:17):
And I just thought to myself,oh, that's interesting.
I wonder how the truth is.
Your body is resilient.
One, alignment choice in yogaisn't going to cause imbalances
or dysfunction long term.
I think if you wanted to usethis type of language, a better
(10:37):
approach might be to say,because our bodies adapt over
time.
Let's explore another version ofthis pose, which might feel more
balanced and sustainable foryou.
We know now that cues like flexyour ankle to protect your knee
or pull your navel to your spineto engage your core are
(11:00):
outdated.
Remember, your body is resilientand most movements are not
inherently dangerous.
Instead of scaring students intorigid alignment, be encouraged
to educate your students onmindful movement and body
awareness.
That means you have to beeducated on human movement.
(11:22):
also alignment largely dependson student readiness.
Do they strength train?
Do they practice mobilityexercises?
I'm talking specifically aboutjoint control here.
What's their movement diet likeoutside of yoga class?
All of these factor into whattheir yoga practice will look
(11:45):
and feel like, which is whyteaching group classes or all
levels yoga classes can bechallenging.
How can you move away fromfear-based alignment cues?
Well, that's a great question.
You may be doing thisunintentionally, but.
Instead of making studentsafraid of doing poses wrong,
(12:07):
help them move safely bybuilding awareness, strength,
and adaptability.
Use neutral exploratory languageinstead of rigid instructions.
Encourage students to explorewhat works for them.
For example, say, try thisvariation and notice how your
body responds.
(12:27):
Focus on strength and stability,not just perfect form.
A student in a pose that looksmisaligned to you but has strong
muscle engagement and control oftheir joints is often safer than
a student forcing a perfect posewhile unstable and teach
(12:48):
adaptability and variationsinstead of saying oppose has one
correct alignment.
Show multiple variations sostudents can find what works for
them.
Fear-based cues create anxietyand hesitation in movement,
which can actually increasenervous system upregulation and
(13:10):
lead to students not trustingthemselves and what movements or
alignment is right for them.
All you should do is useencouraging and adaptable
language.
This shift makes the yogapractice more inclusive,
adaptable, and truly beneficialfor all students regardless of
(13:30):
their body type, their injury,history, or movement ability.
Remember, alignment is personal.
Not one size fits all.
And fear-based cues should bereplaced with encouraging
exploratory language.
And next week's episode, we'lldive into why personal
(13:52):
preference And skeletalvariations matter.
If you leave knowing thisstudents' bodies are different
and we should celebrate that,then I think I've done my job on
this episode.
So what do you think?
I would love to know, are youcurrently rigid on alignment
queuing?
Do you use the same cues inevery pose for every student in
(14:16):
every class?
Have you used fear-basedqueuing?
I want you to leave feelingempowered.
Like I mentioned before, I'veused these cues.
I didn't know any better, butthen I learned more about
anatomy, movement, injuries, andthe nervous system, and it
changed my teaching forever.
(14:38):
This is what I want for you tocontinue to learn and evolve
your teaching.
If you want a deeperunderstanding of anatomy and how
it might change the way youteach, you're in the right
place.
I know it might feeloverwhelming at the start, but
there are ways to makeunderstanding it a little less
complex.
(14:58):
I teach anatomy as it relates toteaching yoga, so you aren't
learning random bones andmuscles, but understanding how
these parts of the body areincorporated into the yoga
practice.
I believe with all my heart thatyoga teachers are movement
educators, and we mustunderstand the human body and
(15:19):
its movements in order to beeffective in our teaching.
It's so important for us to havethis conversation, and sometimes
teaching can feel lonely, whichis another reason why I started
this podcast.
So you'd have a place to go toask questions and get answers.

(15:41):
