This episode is exploring the answer, your individual answer, to the question: Should yoga teachers demo while teaching?We’ll look at some reasons to demo, some reasons not to demo, and a few things to bear in mind overall. Demoing, for many yoga teachers, takes a lot of the fear around teaching. Your body does the pose and that facilitates how you find the language to guide your yogis in to the pose. But, cultivating the skill to teach verbally only can be really really useful.  Enjoy! Highlights: Why teaching yoga is like using a sat navThe times when demoing is going to really help you (and your yogis)When demoing is NOT usefulTwo important things to bear in mind when demoing Useful resources and links: Your adjustments checklist - Get yours hereBuild confidence as a yoga teacher - Take a lookBook in your mentoring session with us here --The BaseA community for yoga teachers Take a lookTraining for yoga teachersYoga Mythology & the Deeper Significance of the Āsanas May 24Traditional Hatha Yoga & Prānāyām May 24Ibizan Yoga Teachers Intensive Sept 24Yoga Nidra & Yoga Wisdom Sept 24Restorative Yoga & Polyvagal Theory Nov 24Yoga & the Neurobiology of Stress Jan 25 -- Follow @foryogateachersStruggle with low confidence and self-doubt?

This episode is essentially the epitome of this whole podcast: When we boil it down, it’s teaching what you love and making a fair living from that. Teaching yoga should pay your rent, it should put food on the table, it should pay all the bills and leave a little left over for a buffer or a rainy day or savings…  This episode breaks down the ways that you can bring Yoga Nidra in to your offerings and your teachings to benefit you and your yogis.We’ll be looking at different ways to share and charge for Yoga Nidra, how much to charge for Yoga Nidra and some general inspiration too.

There’s so many things that we want to do as yoga teachers; including keep a steady practice going for ourselves and add to our knowledge and ability to keep our offerings absolutely great for our yogis (and all our other roles and responsibilities too!)… This episode addresses the barriers to setting up and executing a regular Yoga Nidra practice, and - spoiler alert - it’s basically a repeating reminder to be kind to yourself. To refine that balance of the discipline, the tapas of setting goals and sticking to them, whilst layering in an understanding that life is busy, so how can we work with the busy in the most effective and enjoyable way. Here’s what we’re looking at:Prioritising kindnessRemoving all barriersPlan A and plan BCreating a virtuous cycleMuch of this episode has been inspired by the completely inspiring and practical Yoga Nidra handbook - Radiant Rest by Tracee Stanley.

This episode is about the power of Yoga Nidra. We’ll start off with an introduction to Yoga Nidra, before looking at Yoga Nidra’s relationship to yoga philosophy. We’ll then dive in to the understanding Yoga Nidra’s impact on the brain wave states, and we’ll finish with a summary of the benefits in the context of everything that we’ve just learned.Yoga Nidra is such an underrated, powerful, impactful practice. Yoga Nidra, “yogic sleep” is a powerful practice that guides participants into a state of deep relaxation while maintaining a state of heightened awareness. Through systematic and guided meditation, Yoga Nidra leads practitioners into the realm between wakefulness and sleep, allowing them to access a vast reservoir of inner knowledge and healing potential.Yoga Nidra is well known for being a guided relaxation; the Queen of all repose, a nap, even a substitute for sleep itself. And it *is* all of those things. The thing is; it’s all of those things and much, much more. As yoga teachers, it’s likely that we’ll attract people to the practice of Yoga Nidra through expounding on the benefit of rest and relaxation, and as such, that’s where much of our focus will lie. However, as yoga teachers it is important that we understand and embody the knowledge that Yoga Nidra is a secret door to liberation. --Yoga Nidra with Yoga Wisdom TrainingUnveil the depths of yoga through the transformative power of Yoga Nidra with Yoga Wisdom.This comprehensive training is designed for passionate yoga teachers who seek to deepen their understanding of Yoga Nidra, the art of conscious deep sleep, and explore the rich teachings of ancient yogic wisdom.Take a look here --The BaseA community for yoga teachers Take a lookTraining for yoga teachersYoga Mythology & the Deeper Significance of the Āsanas May 24Traditional Hatha Yoga & Prānāyām May 24Ibizan Yoga Teachers Intensive Sept 24Yoga Nidra & Yoga Wisdom Sept 24Restorative Yoga & Polyvagal Theory Nov 24Yoga & the Neurobiology of Stress Jan 25 -- Follow @foryogateachersStruggle with low confidence and self-doubt?

This episode is a bit different; it’s our first ever bonus episode, and it’s about my journey to becoming a full time yoga teacher. Our last episode; episode 35 was entitled ‘how to become a full time yoga teacher’, and I was acutely aware that the yoga teaching landscape looked so different when I made the leap a decade ago, than it does now, and I thought it might be useful to dig a bit deeper. So, if you’re not bothered about my story, and to be honest I wouldn’t blame you - this isn’t the episode for you and I’ll see you next time. But if you are, well here we go! --The BaseA community for yoga teachers Take a lookTraining for yoga teachersYoga Mythology & the Deeper Significance of the Āsanas May 24Traditional Hatha Yoga & Prānāyām May 24Ibizan Yoga Teachers Intensive Sept 24Yoga Nidra & Yoga Wisdom Sept 24Restorative Yoga & Polyvagal Theory Nov 24Yoga & the Neurobiology of Stress Jan 25 -- Follow @foryogateachersStruggle with low confidence and self-doubt?

This episode is all about how to become a full time yoga teacher, starting with a quick look at whether it’s right for you. Many people have a really romantic notion of what it’s like to be a full time yoga teacher but - while it can be an incredibly rewarding job, it is important to walk in to it with your eyes well open about the realities. There’s a harsh truth in there too, how lovely. Then we look at how to determine if now is the right time, or indeed, when the ‘right time’ is for you, including one of my favourite things - a ‘what if it all goes completely wrong’ plan. The good news is that you can follow these steps without actually making the leap and quitting your job, so, enjoy listening, get inspired, and at the end, you’ll be able to consider an informed decision as to your next steps! --Get the show notes hereBook in for your mentoring session here 🙌--The BaseA community for yoga teachers Take a lookTraining for yoga teachersYoga Mythology & the Deeper Significance of the Āsanas May 24Traditional Hatha Yoga & Prānāyām May 24Ibizan Yoga Teachers Intensive Sept 24Yoga Nidra & Yoga Wisdom Sept 24Restorative Yoga & Polyvagal Theory Nov 24Yoga & the Neurobiology of Stress Jan 25 -- Follow @foryogateachersStruggle with low confidence and self-doubt?

This episode is focusing on balancing having a job and teaching yoga; including being really honest about what happens if and when these conflict, mindfully switching roles (I talked about the importance of this last week in episode 33: balancing parenting and teaching yoga), making sure that there is actually enough time for everything that you want to do, and what yoga philosophy says to help us prioritise.Get your free role switching meditation here Now that so many of us have the office in our pocket, the days stretch sneakily beyond 9 - 5, the weight of work weighs heavily and there always seems like there’s loads to do. This is a problem, there’s no doubting it. But what about when you have a second job of teaching yoga? Teaching yoga demands that you be at your best; inspired, energetic, clear and concise, physically able. And so - this could create a conflict. Your job demands a lot of you. Teaching yoga demands a lot of you. You’re not on your own, yoga teacher. This episode is designed to help you prioritise the elements and roles of your life in a way that will make you feel great.

This episode is about balancing being a parent, and being a yoga teacher. Expect some food for thought about how you can manage and balance your unique set of circumstances, some tools and tricks and tips for balancing the demands of being a parent and a yoga teacher, and how to look after yourself in amongst all of this: how to prioritise, how to know when things are hitting the fan, and we’ll finish up some tools to ease the parent guilt. Throughout the episode I'm using the term 'parent', but please substitute this with how you identify, you might be a hopeful parent, a step-parent, a grandparent, a carer, a care-giver in any and all forms. You are so included, I'm just using 'parent' for clarity and efficiency.Just a heads up, too, that next week’s episode is balancing a job and teaching yoga, so that might be useful, albeit ever so slightly repetitive for you if you have a job as well as parent and teach yoga. Before we jump in, can we take a moment to recognise how both roles are caring roles; giving the best of you so that others; yogis and offspring, can access the best of themselves, and it really is commendable. From my heart to yours, one of the things that has helped so much is consciously switching roles from parent to yoga teacher, and back again.

You're a yoga teacher because yoga has improved your life - possibly immeasurably - and you have a desire, a need, to share that with others.Whilst asana is a hugely important part of yoga, it's not the full story, and as such, as yoga teachers, sharing the full story; the roots and the history of yoga, is probably part of the job. But it's not necessarily a part of the job that comes easily, that's covered in yoga teacher trainings, that's even accessible...Well, this podcast episode aims to change that. It's full of practical tips to layer your asana classes with yoga philosophy, to weave in themes and wisdom without having to be fluent in Sanskrit, without having to be completely knowledgable about the entire history of yoga. Basically, we're aiming to take the reservations and fears out of sharing the fullness of what yoga is, whilst also deeply respecting yoga and all its roots.See the shownotes--The BaseA community for yoga teachers Take a lookTraining for yoga teachersYoga Mythology & the Deeper Significance of the Āsanas May 24Traditional Hatha Yoga & Prānāyām May 24Ibizan Yoga Teachers Intensive Sept 24Yoga Nidra & Yoga Wisdom Sept 24Restorative Yoga & Polyvagal Theory Nov 24Yoga & the Neurobiology of Stress Jan 25 -- Follow @foryogateachersStruggle with low confidence and self-doubt?
