Inner City Teens
This "In the Classroom" Documentary Short of Teen Yoga will benefit any teen yoga teacher. It will build confidence to see how a classroom is handled, it will provide insight for effective teaching, and it will add to a teacher's repertoire of teaching techniques.Viewing an experienced teacher in her own unique environment is not only educational and entertaining, but it can also provide insight to a teacher's own classroom. Studying a well-run classroom is fundamentally empowering to developing one's own style and substance.
"In the Classroom" videos take you inside the classroom to watch a live class as it is happening. Christy provides commentary from a teaching perspective. The viewer gets the benefit of both hearing the teacher's instructions and reactions as well as seeing whether it translates to her teen audience.
Comments from San Francisco-based teen yoga teacher Deborah Stalford:
I found the following three components of these excellent videos helpful and inspiring in my work with teens:
--Seeing real teens in real classroom situations: If you don't have a lot of experience working with teens, it is tremendously helpful to see how they realistically behave and respond in a yoga class and to get an idea of their level of maturity.
--Observing the instructors: The instructors in each of these videos demonstrates a level of instruction that is appropriate for teens, as well as different ways of engaging them (through humor, challenges, etc.). The instructor in each video has a unique style and personality and it's fun and inspiring to see how each of them are able to connect with the young people in her own way.
--Listening to the commentary: Christy brings so much experience and knowledge to her work with teens and teen teachers. Her thoughtful and well-placed commentary is invaluable for enriching and expanding on what you can pick up from simply observing the class and the instructor.
