Human Factors
We were flying the VOR ZZZ into ZZZ. Upon Final Approach fix inbound (about 3 miles east of the airport); Aircraft X was on a relatively short final to Runway XX. Aircraft X asked what our intentions were and I informed them over the CTAF we were planning on circling to land Runway XX. Our circle to land consisted of us crossing midfield and join a left downwind; base; and final for Runway XX. I decided that we had enough separation to continue the approach as Airplane X landed on Runway XX. However; upon reviewing my decisions I realize that our continuation of the approach made it difficult for Aircraft X to go missed/do a go around had they needed too. In the future; I will plan enough space on my practice approaches to allow preceding aircraft to have the option to go around and not force another aircraft to only have one option of landing. While there was no immediate collision hazard that occurred; had the pilot of Aircraft X needed to go-around a collision hazard may have been present.
Flight Instructor reported that while conducting a circle-to-land maneuver; there was not adequate spacing from a landing aircraft to allow a go-around if necessary.
