“The way I choose to teach the physical practice is a representation of how simple the philosophy behind the poses can be. I believe in teaching students what to do with their body today, based on their strengths and weaknesses in this moment. I aim to teach in a step-by-step manner that clearly illuminates the path to even the most visually complex poses. I teach them to pay attention to themselves, to be attentive to where they push too far and where they choose to shy away or avoid. Paying attention to what is fact right now and making decisions in the present moment is where true change and growth lies and where you uncover the you that you’ve been looking for all your life,†Chow says.
