I have taken so many yoga classes! I continue to be grateful for my training with you! I learned some really important lessons that are helping me now! I see lots of (young) yoga teachers and often they seem oblivious of these lessons.

Here are a few:

• Park your ego at the door.
• Use a friendly voice that is well modulated
• Begin by finding a quiet moment of your own before you begin to teach
• Use music if it is helpful – otherwise stay quiet
• Demonstrate the simplest easiest version of a shape first- advanced students will find their own way to a harder version
• Teach the students in front of you – be ready to change things up harder or easier depending on the class of students
• Don’t try to teach too much in one lesson – less can be more
• Tell students why they are doing a posture
• Tell students how to get INTO AND OUT of the posture – dont just say, “come into triangle” and expect they know how!
• Remember that not everyone will like what or how you teach but be true to yourself
  should I keep going???
  I just wanted to say how grateful I am!
