Yoga has evolved into a practice of performance. It's become more about the depth of a pose, the complexity of a sequence, or how much a student can practice asana. Yoga was never meant to be a performance. It has always been intended to cultivate a relationship between one's body, mind, and awareness.
In this episode, we explore how you can shift from helping students “do” yoga to helping them experience it.You’ll learn how to reframe your language so that your cues foster curiosity instead of achievement, and how to encourage students to learn to trust their own bodies through choice, awareness, and adaptability.
This episode will help you see teaching as presence, where awareness replaces perfection, and growth happens through exploration, not execution.
If you’ve ever felt the pressure to keep your classes exciting, impressive, or “Social media-worthy,” this conversation will help you return to the teachings of yoga that truly matter: connection, awareness, and trust.
