In this episode of Yoga Insider, I’m sharing my honest perspective on social media for yoga teachers - based on 14 years of teaching experience building a yoga career both with and without it.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by marketing your yoga offerings in the ever-changing digital landscape… you’re not alone.

I’m walking you through the different “eras” of my own business - from teaching without advertising on social media at all, to navigating sharing my voice online, to building an online platform during COVID, and eventually landing on a more sustainable, intentional approach.

We’ll talk about:

• Why social media is a tool - not your entire business model
• How I use Instagram today (and what I don’t use it for)
• Why your email list matters more than you think
• How social media plays a supporting role as part of a broader ecosystem that supports my business

This week on Yoga Insider, I'm reflecting on a busy teaching weekend & a personal challenge that I'm giving myself in my own teaching.

I'm also talking about "experiential cues" and sharing prompts that I'm using to create cues that encourage deeper mind-body connection.

Workshops are one of the most powerful ways to grow as a teacher and offer more depth for your students. However, without the right structure in place, they can easily feel like there wasn't much payoff for your effort.

In this episode, I’m breaking down my non-negotiables for running a yoga workshop that feels professional, right from the initial planning stages. These are the principles I’ve refined over years of teaching and hosting workshops and the exact things I consider every time I plan a new offering.

We’ll cover:

• How to create a clear workshop container
• The policies every teacher needs to have in place (before launching)
• Financial structure and why upfront payment is so important
• How to teach with depth so your workshop feels like more than just a long class

Not every class is going to feel great - and that’s part of being a yoga teacher.

In this episode, I’m sharing 3 simple practical ways to recover after a tough teaching day so you don’t spiral or overthink your way out of your own growth.

We’ll talk about how to reflect without overanalyzing and why getting back in the room quickly is one of the most important things you can do.

If you’ve ever left class second-guessing yourself, this episode will help you reset and move forward with clarity.

This week on Yoga Insider, I feel compelled to send a little bit of love and encouragement to all of the newer yoga teachers out there who are finding their footing. I'm sharing three pieces of advice that I think can be really helpful for newer yoga teachers - three perspectives that can hopefully make those early teaching years feel a little more grounded and a little less overwhelming.

In this episode of Yoga Insider, I'm walking you through some of the most common questions I hear regarding sequencing yoga classes around a peak pose. In today's conversation, I'll address:

• What a peak pose actually is.
• How to choose the right peak pose for your audience.
• How to identify the key actions & component parts of your peak pose.
• How to layer complexity gradually into your sequence.
• What to do when teaching your peak pose doesn't go as planned.

Peak pose sequencing is simply one method out of many that can help you teach with more clarity and intention. It gives your students a clear direction, and has the potential to be a really powerful educational tool when it’s used thoughtfully. If you’ve been curious about trying it in your own classes, I hope this episode gives you a beginner framework to start experimenting with it and adapting it to your own teaching style and the needs of your students.
