How about asking for a quick show of hands just before you begin the class for how many students consider themselves beginners, intermediates, advanced? Then give your "only do what feels right" statement. Maybe you can do most of the poses in the beginner/intermediate range but then say or show: "If you feel you can push it a little further, do THIS". I don't really know if this would work, because I don't know yoga poses that well so my free advice may be worth what it cost you!!! I'm sure you will wow them at the retreat, Jamie! love Aunt Chris
