Essential Conversations for Yoga Teachers

Ep 94: Confidence Is the Key to Teaching Injured Students


Listen Later

As yoga teachers, we often feel pressure to be endlessly creative in our sequencing, transitions, and class themes. But when a student walks into class with an injury or persistent pain, creativity isn’t what they need most. They need you to be confident about how you're going to teach them!

In this episode, I break down why confidence (not flashy sequencing or the “perfect” peak pose) is an important foundation for teaching students safely and effectively when they show up injured. 

Whether you’re a new yoga teacher still finding your footing or an experienced teacher who feels nervous about working with injuries, your confidence is key. In this episode, I'll help you reframe your approach to sequencing and teaching, and you’ll learn that confidence comes from clarity and steady presence, not from being overly creative.
