47: How To Hold Space with Octavia Raheem


Listen Later

Today I am THRILLED to introduce you to yoga teacher, writer, mama and studio owner, Octavia Raheem. This episode stands out as an all time favorite; the deep wisdom and beautiful words that Octavia shared felt like a salve for a wound I'd hardly even noticed was there.

This path of teaching yoga asks us to constantly look at ourselves in deeper and more curious ways, and to process that intense work with a fellow sister on the path offered a joyful relief. Listen in and enjoy our conversation!

Octavia Raheem leads a yoga and meditation teacher training called Be Still, Then Move at her home studio, Sacred Chill {West} in Atlanta, GA and offers ongoing continuing education and mentorship to yoga teachers.

In this episode you'll hear:

  • Octavia's advice for new teachers just starting on their path
  • A conversation about what it means to "hold space"
  • How Octavia recommends teachers deepen their ability to hold space for their students
  • How to create community with your fellow yoga teachers
  • What happens when yoga teachers are in purposeful, empowering inquiry together
  • And more!
