Are there poses you used to love and teach, but have recently stopped teaching for some reason?? It turns out we all have a long list of poses that we find ourselves leaving out of our classes for a multitude of reasons. We recently had a super interesting conversation inside <a href= "http://thementorsessionssangha.com">The Mentor Sessions Sangha</a> all about this! And on the podcast today I’m sharing an edited sneak peak of that discussion to get your creative juices flowing! In this episode we discussed: <ul> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> our priorities and choices in teaching </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> the importance of getting clear on the intended benefits of poses </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> varying perspectives on poses like headstand, arm balances, and lotus pose </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> why personal preference is a great reason to avoid certain poses AND why it’s so important to understand the reason behind those preferences </li> </ul>

120: Poses We're Not Teaching Anymore (A Sangha Convo!)

With amazing guests or solo, I explore the craft of teaching yoga, as its own practice. I’m seeking answers to the questions about why we teach something the way we do, how we could be more expansive and inclusive in our teaching, and how we can continue to grow and evolve in our teaching practice.

I’m so glad you are here because I believe the depth that arises in teaching comes from inquiry and relationship. Join me as I offer nourishing support to help you feel more confident in your teaching and realistic strategy to help you find more clarity on your career path.

Francesca Cervero (she/her) has been a full-time yoga teacher since 2005. Her teaching is inspired by her foundational training with Cyndi Lee at OM Yoga Center, the years she spent as a dancer and the subsequent years she spent in physical therapy. Her teaching is also influenced by her love of Buddhist teachings and a constant curiosity about anatomy and biomechanics. She is in private practice teaching a full schedule of 1x1 clients, mentors yoga teachers in The Science of the Private Lesson™, hosts the podcast, The Mentor Sessions: Support & Strategy for Yoga Teachers and is the founder of the adjoining community, The Mentor Sessions Sangha.
