This is a special three part episode for new yoga teachers only. It’s for you if you’ve graduated from a 200 hour training and you’ve been teaching 6 months or less and you have at least one paid class on your schedule. 

 

I’m going to walk you through a strategy for help you build your confidence and skill faster than you can do it on your own and with better results. I know this because it’s a time tested approach I’ve used for years with yoga teachers who enroll in my program. I’m giving it to you for free in a “starter-format” so you can get an idea of what’s possible for you if you work with me inside the program. I even offer you a Back to School special offer at the end.

When you’re teaching and you notice a student is out of alignment, how do you give a corrective cue that can help them come into better alignment? What’s the framework you use? In this episode, I share with you an approach to giving corrective cues that will allow you to clearly guide your students into the poses. I also cover sequencing and mindset in this episode as well, covering an approach to building a sequence and a powerful way to think about your future as a yoga teacher.

In today’s episode, you’ll learn about pelvic positioning and how to cue to it in different yoga poses along with how to teach Downward Dog, Plank and Low Plank in a way that helps your students integrate other muscles into the pose so they are in better alignment. Listen until the end for a special opportunity for eligible yoga teachers.

In today’s episode, I cover how to teach Crow pose, the anatomy behind it and how to create a sequence with Crow as the peak pose. You’ll also catch a mindset lesson about re-framing negative thoughts that will help empower you and boost your confidence. Stay tuned until the end so you don’t miss a special Summer offer!

In today’s show, learn about the rotator cuff muscle group and how to apply it to your teaching. You’ll also learn how to build a sequence that focuses on shoulder opening (external rotation) and what benefits you can share with your students about this movement.

 

In this episode, I also share some new and exciting details of my new Certification Program. Listen in and if you’re eligible to enroll, there’s a special incentive I share in the show.

In today’s episode, you’ll meet the authors of an amazing new book on sound healing, Jessica Cross and Julie Afsahi. Julie and Jessica wrote Seasons of Sound to share the benefits of using sound as part of a yoga practice. As yoga teachers, they incorporate sound via instruments into their classes as well as offer trainings so teachers can learn how to integrate sound and music into their classes as a way to add a new dimension to teaching and the experience of their students.
