Yoga Teacher Chats

Episode 27: Practice First, Teach Later


Listen Later

In today's episode, Ashley chats with teacher Bek Lokey to talk about the journey from dedicated student to teacher.

Bek shares how her background in dance eventually led her to yoga, beginning with YouTube practices at home and eventually finding her way into a studio community that changed everything. What started as a personal practice to manage anxiety and reconnect with movement slowly evolved into teacher training, stepping into the front of the room, and finding her own voice as a teacher.

Together, Ashley and Bek talk about the power of in-person teacher training, the importance of remaining a student of the practice, honoring the teachers who shape us, and allowing your teaching to evolve over time.

This conversation is a reminder that the most meaningful teaching often begins with a deep commitment to practice first.
