121: How To Teach When You're Not Feeling Inspired

Today I’m here to share a vulnerable update of my life lately, and some tools I’m using to teach great yoga classes even though I’m in a very challenging season. I’ll be honest, there almost wasn’t a podcast episode this month. This has been one of the hardest summers of my life and I’ve been feeling totally under water. I realized the middle of the month had already passed and I had no interviews scheduled and no ideas for a podcast episode. 

But then I remembered... I’ve been teaching through it all! And I’ve actually felt great about what and how I’ve been teaching.

So today I am sharing a few ideas that I hope support you if you’re struggling to find inspiration for your teaching. 

In this episode you’ll hear:

• how to  identify why you are not feeling inspired

• the difference between private clients and group classes when you’re lacking inspiration

• why being gentle with yourself is always the first instruction

• how to come up with dharma teachings when you’re struggling

• how to freshen up stale sequences

• why taking a class without the intention of actually taking it is a good idea!
