What Great Yoga Teachers See: A Must-Have Observation Checklist


Listen Later

Teaching yoga is more than just leading a sequence—it’s about truly seeing your students and understanding what’s happening on the mat. Over the years, I’ve developed an observation checklist that has helped me refine my teaching, improve my students’ experiences, and bring more depth to my classes. Today, I’m sharing five essential things every great yoga teacher should notice during class. Whether you're a new teacher or a seasoned instructor, these insights will help you enhance your teaching skills and create more meaningful experiences for your students.

Episode Highlights:

  • The importance of observation in yoga teaching and why it’s an underrated skill.
  • The 5-Point Cheat List for Observing Students:
    1. Observe the physical form of a student
    2. Observe how a student holds a pose
    3. Breath awareness
    4. Shavasana patterns
    5. Ability to sit in silence
