You’ve done it.

You’ve gotten the certificate, fallen even more in love with yoga than ever. Now how do you be THAT yoga teacher?

You know, the one with the packed rooms, the dedicated followers, the amazing chill attitude?

Well this week I talk with Root To Rise co-founders Lori Holden and Sheri Fisher. The cover the methodology for creating a standing room only, and I think you all are going to find some genuine nuggets in this conversation. So have your pens at the ready.

Be it a new teacher, or someone trying to up-level their yoga teaching game, this is the interview for you.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

*It IS normal to want to learn more after you take a yoga teacher training program, especially if you don't think you are ready. But what makes and impactful teacher is someone who is able to listen to themselves and develop their inner skills before they go out to the world and share yoga.

*Find a friend whose profession is education for people. Ask them about their favorite teaching methodologies and how to get better at the skill of teaching people a thing.

*It is important for you to know what the laws are for employment wherever you live, and to be committed to yourself as a yoga professional. Knowing the ins and outs of what it is to be a yoga professional is crucial for us as the next generation of yoga pros.

*Understanding and unpacking social justice and diversity, equity, and inclusion is important work for us as yoga teachers. Learning from a diverse range of teachers only serves to make you a more informed and impactful teacher.
