MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONNAIRE

Please watch the lecture before undertaking this questionnaire.

You must achieve 100% on this questionnaire before moving onto the next section. You may retake the questionnaire until you achieve 100%.

All the answers to the questions are in the lecture.

Have you watched the entire video lecture?

Yes
No

Correct!

Please watch the full lecture before taking the questionnaire and progressing to the next lecture.

Why is it important to be predictable?

Because yoga is serious and shouldn’t be fun and light.
Because it helps students to feel safe when they know what to expect.
Because Patañjali’s Yoga Sūtras states yogaś citta vṛtti nirodhaḥ (I.2); that yoga should be predictable.
All of the above.

Correct!

Not quite. Try again.

Which of the following are important to consider regarding predictability?

Be predictable with touch.
Be consistent with and between your students.
Be clear in the description of the class so the students know what to expect before they arrive.
All of the above.

Correct!

Not quite. Try again.

How might you be predictable if you have an assistant teacher in the class?

It’s impossible to be predictable if you have an assistant, just don’t do it.
Introduce the assistant and their role at the beginning of class, ensure the assistant is trained in Mental Health Aware Yoga and have the same assistant each time.
Ensure the assistant wears a safety vest.
All of the above.

Correct!

Not quite. Try again.

Why might it be a good idea to let students know how long you will be inviting them to stay in a pose?

So they know what to expect.
So they have the experience of a challenging experience that comes to an end.
So they feel safe.
All of the above.

Correct!

Not quite. Try again.

Why might it be important to start and finish your class on time?

It helps students trust that you will follow through on what you say you will.
Starting on time helps students who are anxious about attending yoga to arrive as the class starts, so they don’t have to sit around and get increasingly anxious waiting for the class to begin.
Finishing on time helps students who are using all their resources and courage to stay until the end of class, feel safe with attending and staying until the end.
All of the above.

Correct!

Not quite. Try again.
