This is a great topic. I've always been aggravated by the modifications demonstrator being the heaviest in the crew, the oldest, or both.
I loved when Shiva Rea said "Find your intelligent edge." Tilak Pyle was also very generous with "Don't get caught up in trying to find the perfect pose or the perfect body [words to that effect] ... relax into yourself enough to know that you're perfect already" which caused how many VF'ers to burst into tears? I think a lot of yogis by nature are skilled in finding ways to say where you are now is perfect for you, "it's a practice not a perfect," etc. Margaret Richard is good about saying rest and join back when you can, or do what you need to do, etc. Lucy Wyndham-Read is wonderful about inclusiveness and even has videos featuring a lower impact and a higher impact side by side without making you feel inadequate in any way - it's just an option she offers. And she often says "just march on the spot when you need to or if you don't like this." Not entirely on topic, but a big peeve of mine is that all too often the alternate version is offered as an afterthought when already doing the second side of a two sided move. |

I’ve never been bothered if the word modify was used, I don’t have a negative connotation. Usually, I’m just happy there is one. I mostly do Jessica Smith, and my impression of her attitude is that all movement is good. I can’t remember what she says in every dvd, but I’ve never had the feeling that I was not as good because I did the modification.
