Peek Inside The Minds Of Other Yoga Teachers: Answering Your Questions! | Ep 6

Are there questions you wish you could ask a seasoned yoga teacher? I know I have found myself, and maybe you have too, wanting to ask questions to someone who’s more experienced than me, but maybe I felt they were silly, or I was afraid to ask, or just didn’t know WHO to ask.  In this episode we’re going to take a peek into the mind of a yoga teacher. Several weeks back we sent out an anonymous form to our yoga teacher community and gave them the opportunity to ask us ANY question.  We had some great questions come up, and thought we’d take some time to talk through our answers with you in case YOU have a similar question.  We cover topics like:  ➤ Conforming your classes to someone else’s “rules”, ideals, or preferences. ➤ How to make your classes more valuable.  ➤ How much cueing is too much. ➤ How to handle language barriers with students. ➤ Adjusting your classes to fit the 1 vs. the many (i.e. you are teaching a hot yoga power class and a beginner comes in).  ➤ Fear that your classes or what you have to share will “fall on deaf ears” (putting yourself out there, vulnerably sharing what God has put on your heart).  ➤ Fear of online training (both taking online training and offering online classes). ➤ The value of feedback, how to get it, and what to do with it.  …and more! So if you're curious to peek inside the mind of a fellow yoga teacher and get a veteran teacher’s take on some common questions and fears, this episode is for you.  So grab your coffee, find a comfy chair, and come chat with us. Timestamps:  (3:21) - 1. You don't have to follow other people's rules (9:16) - 2. Cueing, language barriers, & unsafe positions (16:37) - 3. How do you handle feedback? (23:37) - 4. How to make your offerings more valuable (34:41) - 5. Cater the class to the one vs the many (37:37) - 6. Dealing with fear or shame around online trainings/offerings (44:18) - 7. If you're afraid to teach, share, and put yourself out there ================== If you know another Christian yoga teacher who could use some help and encouragement in their teacher practice, would you please share our podcast with them?  We’d love to reach more people and sharing it with your teacher friends would mean the world to us!

Without THIS, You Will Struggle As A Yoga Teacher | Ep 1

“Where there is no vision, the people perish.”  To be successful in pursuing the journey and purpose God has orchestrated for you, you need 3 things: Clarity Community Consistency In this episode we are going to talk about clarity.  Having a clear vision about what you want is vital if you want to find success. If you don’t know exactly where you’re going, how can you create a plan to get there?  One of the questions we’ll ask when sitting with teachers who are stuck: What do you really want? Almost always, the teacher on the other side of the table/screen doesn’t really know. Almost like we are afraid to DREAM.  Why?  Likely because we’re afraid to fail, we’re unsure of our ability to perform, or just flat out overwhelmed with where to start.
