Back to EpisodesBalancing the Roles of Being a Yoga Teacher and Student
Description
Often yoga teachers are stuck or confused about how to maintain a healthy balance between the roles of being a yoga teacher and that of a student. To be honest, the struggle is real. Arundhati has had countless conversations with yoga teachers over the years and its a problem that keeps coming up.
To address this conversation, we have Prasad Rangnekar back on the show. Prasad and Arundhati go in-depth into this balancing act of being a yoga teacher and a student that most of us need to figure out in popular yoga.
Some of the things you'll hear about are...
- Are we misidentifying with the role of what it means to be a yoga teacher?
- How to (really) deal with imposter syndrome and FOMO?
- How to ground yourself in studentship?
- Redefining or recontextualizing the role of a yoga teacher in modern-day yoga
- Pausing and reflecting
- Structure for yoga teachers who want to be students
There's much more to this open-ended conversation. If you teach yoga and face this problem. Hit play now!
