As a new teacher, I was obsessed with all the nuance of a well-led yoga class; the pacing, clarity and deliberacy of cueing, the playlist and flow of a class, student connection, and 100 other things all at once. I would sit in the back of my favorite teachers’ yoga classes and take notes on what they said, how they said it, when they said it and what its effect was. The tools shared here are everything I have collected, learned and made my own along the way. The resources I share are all the things I couldn’t find online when I was looking for support as a new yoga teacher.
I hope the resources offered here, with their light-hearted approach to teaching yoga will help to inspire and support the continued evolution and expansion of your own unique expression of teaching yoga.
