As yoga teachers, it's important to recognize that each student's body is unique, and some may have physical limitations or body types that make certain poses challenging or even impossible. To accommodate these differences, teachers must understand how to modify poses effectively. This involves recognizing the limitations of each student's body, and adjusting the pose or using props to provide support or additional challenge where needed. For example, using blocks or straps can help students with limited flexibility or range of motion, while providing modifications for more complex poses like inversions can help students with physical limitations such as spinal issues.

Effective modifications should help students safely progress through their practice, while avoiding any unnecessary strain or risk of injury. By providing modifications that accommodate for different body types and physical limitations, yoga teachers can create a safe and inclusive environment for all students, regardless of their level of experience or physical ability.
