This is another video in the New Yoga Teacher to New Yoga Teacher series, part of my work to support new yoga teachers. Here I talk about how to deal with both good days and bad days, and yes, they do happen. As they say about riding and laying down a motorcycle: it’s not a [...]

This is part 3 of What Your Yoga Teacher Will Tell You, a response to the Smart Money article: 10 Things Your Yoga Teacher Won’t Tell You. Read Part 1 and Part 2. 6. “Your gym is a terrible place to do yoga.” Not surprisingly, gyms have jumped on the yoga bandwagon. Although most gyms try to hire good [...] From having no experience teaching at all, the first couple months of teaching yoga is where you can potentially learn and grow the most in your teaching. When I first started, I had the luxury of having Jean Massimo, an Anusara-inspired teacher at Village Green Yoga, in my class, observing and taking notes, mentoring, and [...] Something that has been on my mind lately is how to help out new yoga teachers as they start out.

(Caution, long post ahead, brew some tea [...] My teacher Kathryn Payne said that every yoga studio should have an anatomically correct human skeleton, and I cannot agree more. Honestly, for a while, I avoided looking or touching Slim, the skeleton at Taj Yoga where I study, because … ahem, don’t laugh, but I was really scared of him, or I was scared of [...] |
