11: Attunement & Space Holding: The Missing Skills That Separate Good Teachers from Transformative Ones
Update: 2025-09-05
Description
Yoga is not just about sequencing, cues, or playlists. What truly transforms a class is how safe, seen, and supported your students feel in your presence.
In this episode, I explore:
What attunement really is, and how it shapes the nervous system state of your students
The art of space holding and why it matters more than the “perfect” class plan
Why the antidote to anxiety isn’t calm, but safety
Practical attunement tools you can start using today
Red flags that signal when a space isn’t truly safe

This isn’t about fixing anyone or being endlessly calm. It’s about presence over performance. It’s about learning how to co-regulate, how to notice the subtle cues, and how to create an environment where students can truly rest into themselves.
If you’ve ever felt that something was missing in your yoga teacher training when it comes to safety, trauma awareness, and the nervous system, you’re not wrong. Most trainings don’t teach this. And yet, these are the exact skills that separate a good teacher from a transformative one.
If this resonates and you feel called to this work, I invite you take the first gentle steps:
