Voice and language, in related to different types of hatha yoga class.

Voice is an integral part of connecting with students and teaching.
As the teacher the voice is how they present themselves and how the students will perceive them for it.
The voice of the teacher should manifest from the Vishuddha Chakra, from the throat to be clearer and speak with ease.
It should be sufficiently audible, enough for all students to hear it but not too loud so it becomes too distracting.
The voice and tone should match the tone of the class.
It should be intense for dynamic practices like vinyasa but it should be soft, relaxed and soothing during Restorative Yoga, Savasna, or Yoga Nidra.
The tone and voice used by the teacher should have certain level of assertiveness, but also kindness and empathy.
They should not sound condescending in any way.
The language used by the teacher should be direct, concise, and easy to understand.
The use Sanskrit names of the asanas is a personal choice and can impact the practice depending on the student.
