8 things to stop doing as a yoga teacher before you crash out: remembering the heart & soul of why you teach
Description
This is not just a list of “stops” to regain energy. It’s a call to remember why you started teaching yoga in the first place.
I have episodes on starting a meditation habit, getting clear on your mission as a conscious creator, and an episode called 7 keys for teaching yoga that changes lives that may also be of interest to you, linked below. :)
