Yoga Teacher Training Podcast: Learn Anatomy, Philosophy, Business and More

As teachers it can be overwhelming to know what to focus on. There are so many amazing aspects to yoga from the anatomy to philosophy to cueing that it can be easy to want to include it ALL in every class. Unfortunately, if you try to say everything in a class, you end up saying nothing. And if you never know what to focus on when teaching your classes and your own energy will become scattered, unfocused and you'll eventually get burned out and discouraged from teaching. You might even just decide to quit teaching all together. So what do you focus on instead? It's simpler and more obvious than you might think, but I've been to plenty of classes where the teacher forgets to do this, and you may have too. It's an easy mistake to make, but it's also a simple mistake to avoid. I'll share how in today's episode!

DONT teach yoga to everyone lose the momentum stop teaching just go into more trainings without implementing anything stop being a student try to rush your process be harsh on yourself DO Be a yogi, rather than teaching yoga Keep the momentum going; volunteer, clean the floors, be in the community, create gatherings, etc Start teaching at least once a week keep implementing what you learn from each training always have a next training, workshop, mentorship, retreat or course you’re doing and things on the horizon Always think long term Approach your own path as a student with as much kindness and care as you would teaching approach teaching your students You can watch the video for this episode on the new Yoga Teacher Training YouTube channel at: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwNq1aoW2zpcivCSG50O9HQ Thanks for listening!
