For the practicum, am I allowed to play music during the quiet segment of Savasana?

Support Team Updated by Support Team

Using music during Savasana in your practicum, as well as in real-life teaching scenarios, is completely acceptable.

When selecting music, it's advisable to opt for tracks without lyrics or a pronounced beat, as these can potentially disrupt or influence the tranquil state of relaxation. Ambient music can be an excellent choice, offering a serene backdrop that might foster a deeper sense of calm. This is particularly helpful when teaching in bustling or noisy settings like urban areas or community centres where external sounds might be prevalent.

Such ambient tracks can act akin to white noise, facilitating students' descent into a peaceful and relaxed state. However, it's essential to remember that music preferences are subjective. While some might find it conducive to relaxation, others might prefer the purity of silence during Savasana. As a teacher, it's beneficial to explore both options and be attuned to your students' preferences.

If you do decide to incorporate music into Savasana, always ensure the volume is at a level that enhances, rather than detracts from, the relaxation experience.

How did we do?

For the practicum, should we only record ourselves instructing, or do we also need to include students in the recording?

How do I submit my Written Flow?
