WOUNDED HEALER/WOUNDED STUDENT: Practical Psychology for the Classroom

What do you do when a student comes in late, or chats with her friends during class, or constantly asks questions that disrupt the flow of the class, or ignores your instructions and “does her own thing”?  What about the student who is too aggressive, to the point of risking injuring herself, or the student who adjusts or instructs other students in the middle of your class?  What about the student who “spaces out” all the time?

Actual day-to-day classroom teaching involves the all-too-human teacher working closely with her all-too-human students, with the shared avowed intention of transmitting something of the subtle wisdom-practices we call hatha yoga.  Effective communication is a must, but it is sometimes thwarted by both the teacher’s and the student’s old, embedded habits of responding/reacting, both conscious and unconscious.  The tangible results of this misunderstanding often diminish the student’s learning experience and leave both student and teacher frustrated, bewildered, hurt or angry. 

Students will always present teachers with behaviors that cloud or weaken the teaching/learning moment. And teachers always bring all of themselves into the classroom every time for better or for worse. For the teacher, then, recognizing your own patterns of reactivity, and coming up with effective ways of managing them for the sake of the teaching, is imperative. 

In this workshop we’ll explore some of these issues, share strategies for working with real students and real teachers in real classroom situations, and learn how to take care of both your students and yourself in the service of teaching.
