Beyond Strength and Flexibility

In a Feldenkrais class
a teacher doesn't have the problem of "What to do
with students at different levels?"
since the work is so slow
and awareness oriented.

But in a yoga class,
where people come wanting to improve
strength and flexibility,
what is a teacher to do
if people come at all sorts of different levels.

How can the class be made challenging for all.

Well,
heck,
let's try a whole list of ways to challenge people
in a yoga class starting with these two.

So.
challenges:
strength
flexibility

what else:
awareness
presence
ability to go beyond habits
i.e. non-competitiveness
self love
love in general
joy in general
curiosity
attention to inner states
attention to inner habitual judgments
ability to not judge ourselves
ability to come back to present
ability to come back from "edges"
ability to follow the breathing
ability to discover something new inside ourselves
ability to enjoy the process

loving now
really
isn't that the greatest challenge
and the one
that gives
the biggest payoff??
