If you're new to this podcast—or you've been listening for a while and want to better understand the philosophy behind what I offer—this is the perfect place to start. In this episode, I answer five foundational questions: Why is anatomy often taught in such a confusing way? Why do so many yoga teachers struggle with confidence? Why did I create Bare Bones Yoga? What makes my approach to teaching anatomy different? And what can you expect if you continue listening to this podcast? Whether you're a new yoga teacher or have been teaching for years, this episode will give you a clear understanding of my mission to make anatomy approachable, practical, and immediately applicable to your teaching. I start our with a bit of background about Yoga Alliance, the registry for yoga teachers, as a way to help you build a better understanding of the organization and it’s role in the industry. I end with a success story for one of the teachers in my program. Here is a resource you might like: https://barebonesyoga.lpages.co/from-the-interview-chair-e-book/ And, if you’re curious about how I work with yoga teachers, here is one of my programs: https://barebonesyoga.thinkific.com/courses/Yoga-Anatomy-Accelerator If you’ve got questions about what’s a good fit for you, let me know.

As a follow up to last week’s episode where I shared my new perspective on a problem I was experiencing in my business, I pick up on a related theme but turn the frame to you. This episode talks about a common theme for yoga teachers, which has to do with wanting to do a particular thing in their class or as a teacher but being worried about the outcome or what other people will think of them. As you listen, I share a few ideas that might resonate with you and you can also think of what comes to mind when you hear it. I end this episode describing some of the common problems yoga teachers have and an approach to help. Listen to see if you can relate. As I mention, here are some teaching resources you can get: https://barebonesyoga.lpages.co/tips-for-new-teachers/ https://barebonesyoga.lpages.co/how-to-create-a-signature-sequence/ If you’re ready to get help, check out my Accelerator program: https://barebonesyoga.thinkific.com/courses/Yoga-Anatomy-Accelerator

In this episode, I share a recent lesson I've been learning in my business about feedback, expectations, and letting go of outcomes I can't control. What started as frustration over not getting replies to emails, DMs, and workshop invitations led me to rethink how I show up and serve my audience. As I share that story, I connect it to a common challenge many yoga teachers face: looking for validation from students, feedback after class, or signs that we're doing a good job. If you've ever found yourself feeling discouraged by a lack of response or wondering what others think of your teaching, this episode offers a different perspective—one that may help you feel more grounded, present, and connected to why you teach in the first place.

In this episode, I turn the microphone around and share some of my own story as a yoga teacher—how I got started, the challenges I faced early on, and the experiences that ultimately shaped the work I do today. Along the way, I reflect on some of the struggles I had and maybe you’ll see yourself in some of what I share. My hope is that listening to this episode gives you some context for what I share on the podcast and gives you a chance to hear how I’ve addressed some of the problems and challenges I had. Maybe it will give you some things you can try yourself to help you build your confidence. I mentioned one of the interviews I did last year and here’s a link to that: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/yoga-teaching-confidence-starts-here-anatomy-mindset/id1795863974?i=1000718213326

In this episode, I share the inspiration behind the updated version of my book, Structure and Spirit, and explore the core themes woven throughout its two sections: Structure, which focuses on anatomy and movement principles, and Spirit, which explores themes of mindset, awareness, growth, and self-inquiry. From foundation, balance, and leverage to connection, resistance, and inspiration, I discuss how these ideas show up not only in yoga practice, but also in teaching and everyday life. This episode will give you themes you can easily use in your classes with your Signature Sequence as a way to create a different experience for your students without having to change the architecture of the sequence.

Discover the difference between learning anatomy and applying it to you teaching and why it matters.
