Use the checklist below as a reflection tool — not a rulebook. No teacher supports every learning style equally in every class. The goal is range, not perfection.

Visual / Spatial Learners

“I need to see it.”

You’re supporting visual learners when you:

Demonstrate key poses
Ask experienced students to demo when appropriate
Use visual imagery (“reach like light,” “spiral upward”)
Face the room when introducing new shapes
Offer mirror-style demonstrations for beginners

Verbal / Linguistic Learners

“I need clear words.”

You’re supporting verbal learners when you:

Use clear, consistent language
Explain both what to do and why
Introduce anatomy gradually
Slow your speech for new actions
Repeat essential cues without rushing

Bodily / Kinesthetic Learners

“I need to feel it.”

You’re supporting kinesthetic learners when you:

Allow time to explore within poses
Encourage self-touch cues (“place a hand on your ribs”)
Offer appropriate hands-on assists
Invite micro-movements for sensing alignment
Teach sensation rather than shape alone

Musical / Rhythmic Learners

“I learn through rhythm.”

You’re supporting rhythmic learners when you:

Cue movement with breath
Emphasize inhale/exhale pacing
Use music intentionally (or intentionally not)
Maintain a steady vocal tone
Reduce distracting or abrupt sounds

Interpersonal Learners

“I learn through connection.”

You’re supporting interpersonal learners when you:

Make eye contact
Learn and use student names
Invite brief check-ins
Acknowledge effort and presence
Create a welcoming, relational class culture

Intrapersonal Learners

“I learn by going inward.”

You’re supporting intrapersonal learners when you:

Offer quiet moments for self-observation
Normalize rest and personal variations
Encourage autonomy in poses
Allow non-linear participation
Invite reflection, intention-setting, or journaling
