Extra lumbar vertebrae

Namaste,
I have a new student, 50+yr female, no real yoga experience, a little overweight, super stressed (funeral director). Now, all of this is fine, I can handle this, and she’s really sweet, and puts her all into class.

The thing is, she has six lumbar vertebrae and a couple of extra ribs. I don’t really know what to do with this information. Is it a detrement? a benefit? a mere curiousity? what are your thoughts?
Thank you,
D

Just treat it as an anomoly, she is unique. that is not a problem, just teach as normal. always encourage people to let you know if they feel strain. So i would take that suggestion with this lady and anyone else who tells you something unique about themselves. namaste mukunda
