Some yoga teachers believe they should only teach the poses they can personally execute, while others argue that teaching is about more than just demonstration. Where do you stand on this? In this episode, I unpack this common debate and explore five key considerations to help you decide what’s best for your teaching journey.
Episode Highlights:
- Teaching from direct experience: Why new teachers should focus on what they know well.
- Aligning with yoga ethics: How Satya (truth), Ahimsa (non-harming), and Asteya (non-stealing) relate to teaching.
- Navigating “life happens” moments: Teaching effectively even when facing injuries or major life transitions.
- The importance of staying just one step ahead of students instead of mastering every advanced pose.
- Using sequencing and props to expand your teaching skills without feeling overwhelmed.
