In this final part of a 4-part podcast series, you’ll discover more of what builds confident yoga teaching. We’ll talk about the what it takes to have a confident, empowered mindset; one that allows you to teach with a feeling of calm, roundedness and joy.
This is a topic that’s rarely taught. But is so central to what it takes to not only enjoy teaching, but have it feel easy and fun.
I mention my two programs in the episode and if you’re curious about how I work with yoga teachers, check them out here:

In this part 3 of a 4-part podcast series, you’ll discover more of what builds confident yoga teaching. We’ll talk about the role of understanding movement and with that, understanding anatomy and how to apply it to your teaching. This tends to be the area where teachers need the most help and in this episode, you’ll discover some powerful reframes that will allow you to look at learning anatomy in a different way.

In this part 2 of a 4-part podcast series, you’ll discover more of what builds confident yoga teaching. It’s a combination of having a solid approach to cueing, sequencing, to understanding the fundamentals of anatomy and having a confident mindset. In today’s episode, you’ll hear about a sequencing approach that will help you feel more confident in the sequence you offer, take less time to prepare for your classes and allow you to stand out as a yoga teacher:

Do you find that you compare yourself to other yoga teachers? Maybe this comes up when you take someone else’s class or when you scroll on social media. It could even be with a yoga teacher you like but you still find yourself thinking, “Why don’t I have as many people in my class?” or “Why don’t I feel like my cues are as clear as her’s?”
While this is common, it’s definitely something to look at as a sign that something’s missing.
In this episode, we’ll take a look at some of the reasons you might find that you’re comparing yourself to other yoga teachers and what to do about it.
There is a journal exercise in the episode so have one ready for the questions at the end.
You’ll hear me mention the Yoga Anatomy Accelerator Program and you can check that out here:
Since we talk about cueing in this episode a few times, here’s a short training video on cues:

When you started this year and had an idea of the kind of teacher you wanted to be, how does that match up to how you’re actually teaching from week to week? In this episode, we’ll talk about that realization and I’ll share a little bit about why that gap might exist.
We’ll end with some reflection questions at the end so if you want, you can have a journal ready to write down your answers.
Part of what we’ll discuss is about sequencing and I have a sequence training video you might be curious to check out.

When you hear, “The more hours of training you have, the more confident you’ll feel” what comes up for you? Do you have agreement, disagreement or something in the middle? We’ll explore this belief, which is pretty common, in today’s episode and you’ll hear some stories that relate back to this and you’ll have a chance to see, at the end of the show, how you feel about it.
Part of this episode includes an experiment you can try to help you figure out where you might focus when it comes to feeling more confident.
Today’s show mentions my training video on cueing and you can find that here:

In this episode, you’ll hear an intro from me and then you’ll be directed to a conversation between two people, talking about lessons I’ve shared on other podcast episodes related to how you can build your confidence.
In the spirit of full transparency, this podcast conversation is between two AI (Artificial Intelligence) generated voices but I must stress: they are ONLY generating content based on looking at my own podcast episodes. There is no information that you will hear in this episode that comes from anyone else’s content or the general internet. This episode is a product of an AI related tool called Google Notebook LM.
Having said that, you will find an interview focused on sharing lessons I’ve shared on prior episodes all designed to help you build your confidence. The AI tool is just aggregating the lessons into one conversation.
I’d love it if you would send me a DM on Instagram letting me know what you thought of this format.
I recently wrote an e book with audio links to podcast interviews I had this year. You’ll find a host of lessons for yoga teachers in here, along with the audio links:
