This is a great article and I hope you will write more like it. However, I find in many of my students, (most over 50 with no knowledge of yoga, and a lot of men!) that body awareness is so limited that it takes months just to get a basic understanding of what and why they are there in the first place! So subtle nuances are out of the question! Basic mobility is all they are striving for. I see so many articles geared to intermediate, mobile students. You can't have intermediate students without a good concept of beginning poses.
PLEASE keep writing articles that set up these parameters and help us keep our students safe.
