Back to Episodes26. How to End Class So People Remember You
Description
The last five minutes of your yoga class might be just as crucial as the first. A strong closing helps students integrate their practice, transition back to daily life, and remember their experience in a meaningful way.
Let’s break down the essential elements of an effective class ending, including:
• Why the last moments of class shape how students remember you
• The role of final relaxation and how to guide it effectively
• Practical tips for managing time and transitioning students smoothly
• Common mistakes teachers make when ending class—and how to avoid them
Listen now and learn how to make your class unforgettable—right when it matters most!
September’s lesson plan in the Prep Station is Balance Play Trio. The recording is already waiting in the Movement Library, and I teach the plan live on Mondays, September 14, 21, and 28, at 6:00 p.m. Eastern, with 15 minutes afterward for your questions. Every class posts as a recording. It’s all part of the Yoga Class Prep Station, $39 a month.
