Today I am going to answer one of the questions other teachers ask me most frequently: How do you encourage your students to commit to a home yoga practice? I have tried almost every option out there, and I’ve landed on a way that I think works best. It must be working because every single one of my private clients has a home yoga practice they do most days AND (huge bonus) it requires ZERO extra work on my part! In today’s episode my co-host Serena and I will share some success stories and talk about all the ways we like support and inspire a student’s home practice without making it feeling like one more thing on their to do list.  Also in this episode:   <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;">why I let the student guide me to the point where I offer support in their home practice</li> <li style="font-weight: 400;">the ways I personally enjoy practicing at home</li> <li style="font-weight: 400;">our best guided relaxation tips</li> <li style="font-weight: 400;">why presenting these practices as soft place to land is what makes the biggest difference</li> </ul>

14: How To Support + Inspire a Student's Home Practice

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.
