For instance they may need to widen their stance in down dog or parsvakonasana, but you can tell them and adjust them every single day, and they will not budge from their habit / preferred way.

Why? How much? To teach what? Big ole chewy questions. Recently in a 1-on-1 class where I basically watched one of my students do the first half of Primary, I gave almost exclusively verbal adjustments.
