37. Why Boundaries Make You a Better Yoga Teacher

In Episode 37, I dive deep into the essential yet often uncomfortable topic of boundaries in yoga teaching. I share insights from over two decades of experience, covering:

• the teacher-student dynamic
• ethical considerations
• the tricky terrain of transference and projection

You’ll learn practical tips on maintaining professional and personal limits, communicating clearly, and recognizing when your boundaries are slipping. Most importantly, we’ll reframe boundaries not as barriers but as powerful containers that allow you to serve your students with clarity and care.
