Conversations for Yoga Teachers

Meet Crystal Hoyos (EP.196)

In today’s episode, you’ll meet yoga teacher Crystal Hoyos. I met Crystal after she enrolled in my program, The Yoga Anatomy Blueprint Learning Program, and I have been so impressed with her dedication to growth and the quality of her commitment. Crystal also runs her own business so she’s got the entrepreneurial spirit as well. Here she shares her story and talks about what she’s learned as she’s expanded her understanding of anatomy. 

 

In today’s intro, I talk about a new PDF Guide I have on “Mindset Tips for Teachers.” You can get that here:

Mindset Shifts (EP.195)

In today’s episode, I share a number of shifts that you can use to change your way of thinking when it comes to teaching challenges. Sometimes, it just takes a different way of looking at things to find a better approach to teaching, connecting with your students and growing your classes. 

 

This episode covers a number of tips and you can get them in this easy to reference download:

Building Your Teaching Path (EP.194)

Looking for ideas to grow as a teacher and build your business? Here are some lessons I’ve learned that I was recently asked to share and I thought they’d be helpful to share here on the podcast as well.  I hope you find them helpful!

Meet Francisca Ruff (EP.193)

In this week’s episode, you’ll meet Francisca Ruff. Fransisca is well versed in movement disciplines, having completed several trainings as well as being enrolled in my Yoga Anatomy Blueprint Learning Program. Her recent experiences in my program have given me a chance to find out more about her and I’ve seen the gains she’s made in her understanding of anatomy. Her approach to learning, including how she makes the process easy and fun is one that I wanted to share. It was a complete inspiration to find out more about her and I hope you enjoy meeting her also. Sharing stories of other teachers is a total joy to me and I hope you find inspiration in listening.

Cues for Poses (EP.192)

In today’s episode, I share cues for a number of poses, including Triangle, Twisting Triangle and Wheel. Once you listen, if you have any questions, send me a DM on Instagram and I’m happy to help!

Stories from the Field (EP.191)

In today’s episode, I share a number of stories from the past 15 years of teaching. They cover a wide range of situations and give us a chance to think about how you might have handled them. Let me know what you think after you listen!

Nervous System Concepts (EP.190)

In today’s episode, we cover some concepts about the nervous system. For reference, I refer to the Huberman Lab Podcast, Episode on Stretching. You can find it here:

The Cost of Inaction (EP.188)

Did you ever think of what it costs you to wait to get the training you need? Many times we only think of the cost of training; we don’t always think of the value we get. Sometimes it can be helpful to identify the costs of doing nothing or even just maintaining what you’re currently doing, knowing that it’s not getting you the results you want. This is part of what I cover in today’s episode.

Meet Joanna Sapir (EP.187)
