Evaluating Your Cues (EP.341) 32:47

1 day ago32:47

32:47

How many of the cues that you share do you truly understand the reason for the cue? Many teachers feel like they repeat cues but they don’t really KNOW them. In this episode, you’ll discover a template you can use to evaluate the cues you share and see how much you really know about each one! Remember, when you teach from what you know, your confidence grows, so this episode is designed to highlight if you have a learning gap around anatomy. If you find that you do, all you need to do is enroll in my program and I’ll teach you exactly what you need to know. Links to the download that go with this episode are below, as well as my group and my one on one program: Download here: https://barebonesyoga.lpages.co/yoga-cues-evaluation/ One on one anatomy program here: https://barebonesyoga.thinkific.com/courses/blueprint-learning-program Group program here: https://barebonesyoga.thinkific.com/courses/the-yoga-teacher-confidence-club…

Effective Assisting Techniques for Yoga Teachers (EP.340) 54:34

Ready to assist your students in yoga class but not sure where to start? Or maybe you’ve been experimenting with assisting your students and you feel uncomfortable and you’re not sure you’re doing it in a way that’s helpful for your students. In either case, this episode is for you! Here you’ll discover some fundamental concepts for assisting your students and a step by step list of factors to consider. You’ll also hear how assisting has changed in 2025 from years ago when assists were given without getting the consent of the student. In today’s times, it’s essential that we get the approval and consent of the student before we put our hands on them. Studios have a variety of ways they get consent; some use a card at the mat, some ask students to raise their hands, some teachers get consent one by one in the moment of approaching the student. This episode is less about how you get the consent and more about the idea of getting it and how that’s now part of the fabric of how we teach. You’ll get a full list of actions to take and you’ll also get an opportunity to receive a workshop replay on this exact topic, which was covered in a live workshop taught on 3/14/25. To get a copy of the replay, DM me on Instagram for it. You’ll hear about the Yoga Teacher Confidence Club and what you can gain by joining it. Use this link to join: https://barebonesyoga.thinkific.com/courses/the-yoga-teacher-confidence-club You’ll also hear about a special offer to learn anatomy, so listen all the way to the end for the special code words that unlock your discount.…

Do you think you’re too old to teach yoga? Do you ever worry that your classes won’t be as popular as a younger teacher? If you’re 45 years old or old and you’ve ever had that thought, you’re not alone.

In this episode. you’ll discover a powerful way to re-frame your age and to feel confident and empowered when you teach.

Take Your Power Back (EP.337) 39:26

30 days ago39:26

39:26

When yoga teachers tell me they want to feel “confident” and then they share the things that aren’t working for them, the things that are getting in the way of feeling “confident,” what it often relates to is giving their power away. What this often looks like is deferring to other teachers’ opinions and methods, even when it doesn’t work well for them. If this is you, you’re not alone. Many yoga teachers tell me they do this. There is another way though; one where you feel confident and empowered and instead of just following what other people are doing, having purpose behind what you do. Find out how to do this in this week’s episode.…
