In this episode, Rebecca explores how creativity shows up in yoga classrooms—from responding to students in real time to weaving storytelling through your teaching. With insights on AI, community, and cultural representation, this conversation invites yoga professionals to embrace their creativity as a core part of their teaching craft.

🌟 Key Takeaways

🧘‍♀️ Responsive teaching = creative teaching.
Reading the room (in-person or online) and adjusting in real time is the mark of a skilled yoga teacher. Co-regulation and connection matter more than perfect sequencing — that’s where true creativity lives.

🤖 AI can’t replace human creativity.
AI yoga teachers might track data, but they can’t replicate the magic of co-creating with real humans. Our creativity and intuition are the future of yoga teaching — not automation.

🎨 Invite your students into the process.
Let them see you experiment! Try new props, play with movement, explore discomfort vs. suffering. Shared curiosity keeps classes fresh, builds trust, and turns your teaching into art.

📖 Teaching yoga is storytelling.
Think of your classes like a four-part series — each one building a narrative that carries your students somewhere meaningful. Storytelling keeps people engaged and deepens connection.

🌍 Yoga’s cultural story matters.
From commercials to memes, how yoga is portrayed affects how people see your work. Be part of reshaping that story — through your teaching, your marketing, and your creative voice.
