Back to Episodes2. The Secret to Confidence as a Yoga Teacher: You Only Have to Be You
Description
In this episode, I recount a pivotal experience from my second-ever class that taught me to embrace her own teaching style without feeling the need to apologize for not being like others. This story is a reminder for all yoga teachers: you only have to be you.
You’ll hear:
• How one unexpected emergency subbing opportunity led to invaluable feedback
• The pitfalls of over-apologizing as a yoga teacher
• Why embracing your unique voice is key to connecting with—and centering—your students
