Episode Details

As we begin a new year, I’m reflecting on a question that quietly shapes every yoga teacher’s journey: why do you teach? In this episode, I share personal insights from my own path, the lessons that only time and experience reveal, and why certifications alone don’t create longevity in teaching. I also share details about the upcoming 300-hour online teacher training, live Q&A session, and important dates if you’re considering taking the next step in your practice or teaching.

Episode Highlights:

• Why certifications and accumulated hours don’t guarantee confidence or sustainability
• The difference between loving yoga and being able to teach it long-term
• How burnout, injury, and doubt reveal the importance of a deeper “why”
• Why purpose in teaching is personal, evolving, and not meant for performance
• The connection between discipline, consistency, and Sutra 1.14
• 5 Important things about your why
• Key updates on the upcoming 300-hour online teacher training and live Q&A
