The Art of Instructing Yoga with Christina Sell


Listen Later

In this episode, we explore the art of instructing yoga. It's something yoga teachers do every single time we enter a class. Yet, many yoga teachers struggle with getting comfortable, or skillful at instructing. Because we have to take what we have as experience in our bodies and being. Make it coherent for someone else. While this sounds straightforward, it's not.

Arundhati interviews Christina Sell. A long-time yoga teacher and student. The conversation goes deep into the "art of instructing yoga". If you teach yoga asana in some capacity, this is highly recommended listen.

Episode Highlights...

  • The goal of yoga and asana teachers in giving instructions
  • Avoiding over-instructing and under-instructing
  • Quality learning and instructing amidst the fast-paced world of yoga
  • Cueing in yoga
  • Is there a difference between teaching a beginner and a more experienced student?
  • Christina's words of encouragement
