Join the waitlist for the Quietmind Yoga Teacher Training at http://www.quietmind.yoga/ytt

Today’s topic comes from my discussion with my mentee Cait Rumak in Staten Island. She is nearing the end of our time working together and asked what I recommend doing after she is finished. Today I’ll share what I did and what I’ve noticed that successful teachers do after finishing Yoga Teacher Training. I’ll also share what NOT to do!

DONT

1. teach yoga to everyone
2. lose the momentum
3. stop teaching
4. just go into more trainings without implementing anything
5. stop being a student
6. try to rush your process
7. be harsh on yourself

DO

1. Be a yogi, rather than teaching yoga
2. Keep the momentum going; volunteer, clean the floors, be in the community, create gatherings, etc
3. Start teaching at least once a week
4. keep implementing what you learn from each training
5. always have a next training, workshop, mentorship, retreat or course you’re doing and things on the horizon
6. Always think long term
7. Approach your own path as a student with as much kindness and care as you would teaching approach teaching your students
