What do you enjoy most from a class?

Hi everyone!    I am developing a new class and want to hear from you about what you enjoy most from a class?  This can be certain movement, pacing, structure, atmosphere, or anything else you can think of.  The class is in its infant stage, but will likely combine movement from different modalities, ie. yoga, pilates, modern dance, bartenieff, etc. 

I really appreciate your help!  :)

    I like when poses are held for a long time. Also live music keeps me coming back for more.

    I like when the teacher says Pool instead of Pull.

    I had a Pilates class that I loved and she always had an assistant with her that did the class with her so she could take an opportunity and walk around to make sure everyone was doing the positions correctly.

    I love the moment right at the end of the Yoga Class. When everyone has the sense of accomplishment in their own being. The breathing slows down and smiles start to appear on all of the faces. In that moment I feel the yoking of my mind, body and spirit.

    I like a challenging class but not too challenging. I also like new posses to be introduced every so often to bring in some verity.

    I like when teachers explore the smaller details of things. How one person lifts their arm vs. another. Noticing the subtle and working with shapes that move and mold rather than guide and have an omnipresence. Exploration is fun, and isn't used enough in classes. Also love holding the poses and explore what happens there. EXPLORATION!

    I love when a techer provides that small insight that gives me the 'ah ha' moment to deepen my practice. I have no idea why but I LOVe hearing the sanskit of poses

    1. By now I am used to hearing esoteric yogic expressions but still certain things are beyond me - such as "relax your eyeballs, relax your teeth". I like a class when a teacher provides with the directions/instructions that are actually understandable. Perhaps someday I will get to relax my eyeballs...
    2. I love a teacher who corrects me when my alignment is wrong.
