Yoga Teacher Confidence: Handling Mistakes and Awkward Silence


Listen Later

Every yoga teacher has those moments, your mind goes blank in class, you forget your cue, or your words don’t land. It’s normal, it happens to everyone, and it doesn’t make you a bad teacher.

In this video, Brea Johnson of Heart + Bones Yoga shares simple, practical strategies for what to do when you don’t know what to say while teaching yoga. Whether you’re a new teacher or have been teaching for years, these tips will help you stay calm, professional, and connected to your students.

You’ll learn:

• Why forgetting cues is a normal part of teaching

• How pausing the class can reset you and your students

• Why “less is more” with verbal cues

• How to come back to the breath when you lose your words

• The power of reflective cues over micromanaging

• A simple way to keep your confidence when mistakes happen
