Today, let's chat about language and communication errors!

Specifically, I'd like to share 5 mistakes I see or hear almost every non-native English speaking yoga teacher make.

Mistakes are inevitable and I actually encourage you to make them. Making mistakes helps you get out of your comfort-zone. By making them you overcome shyness and can find out what you can do or say differently to express yourself clearer and more effectively.

But sometimes, we aren't aware of the mistakes we make and people 'forget' to tell or correct you. So, in this episode I want to help you understand what you possibly say wrong when teaching yoga in English, so that you can improve your communication with your students during and beyond your classes.

After you’ve created your class schedule, set up your space to teach and start attracting new students it’s wise to establish your business politics, because you want to be prepared and protect yourself.
It’s possible a student gets sick or unexpectedly has to change their plans which means they could cancel last-minute.
It’s also possible students expected something differently from your classes or services or aren’t happy with their results.
All of these things can cause unnecessary obstacles if you haven’t set up your refund and cancellation policies. So in this episode, let’s have a look at what type of things you can consider to cover yourself for these types of unexpected or unfortunate circumstances.

What type of yoga business suits you?
Later this year, I’ll host a pilot course to help you create and set up your international teaching career!
In that course we’ll look at all the things it involves to create your own offerings such as international retreats or online programmes, your visibility and how to attract students, but of course, your money mindset, refund and cancellation policies will be part of it too.

In this episode let's chat about how you can actually attract people to your classes.

I often see yoga teachers struggling to fill up their classes and wonder what they do wrong.

In the beginning of my digital yoga career have made many mistakes too. My purpose of this training is help you understand what doesn’t work so that you can become more focussed, attract consistent students and start building a loyal clientele to expand your career and actually live off teaching yoga.

This month, I already shared how you can find teaching opportunities and guide to online teaching, but for this episode I've invited a special guest to share how to start your digital yoga teaching journey (even if you've just finished your YTT).

It could be that you want to start by teaching your friends and family, or that you already have some students, but want to make your classes more accessible to them. Maybe you're starting from zero. Wherever you are, what's important when starting your online teaching career is that you build your online presence first!

Joost Gielen is the founder of Momoyoga and has years of experience helping teachers build their own (online) yoga studio.

He will share with us:

In May, I shared with you 3 tricks to reprogramme your mindset for a lasting career.

In this training I focussed on ways in which you can transform the fears and limiting beliefs that stop you from believing in yourself, your skills, experience, and expertise. All of that with the aim to help you build a lasting career.

​

Thoughts and limiting beliefs cause you to lack confidence on a mental and emotional level. However, some of you describe to also suffer from the common 'chicken-or-egg situation'. And it goes like this:

"I know that to gain confidence in my teaching skills I need experience, but to gain teaching experience, I need to build confidence first."

Does that sound like you?

Then you may ask, where do I go from here?

In this episode I will give you all the answers and a clear idea of where to start. I'll explain how to gain practical experience to help you build confidence so that you gradually build and expand your own career.

In this episode, learn about Carlos' English and yoga journey; why he became a teacher and what he learned working with Enga.

About Carlos:

I'm a young man who was born and raised in Maracaibo, a beautiful city with a gorgeous lake in the west of Venezuela. I don't like to use any labels to describe myself, but I'd like to share with you that I'm often defined as a knowledgeable, empathic and honest person; even though sometimes I can be straightforward and lazy since I'm just a human being with virtues and defects. And as many people these days I've changed careers from becoming a Mechanical Engineer, to an English Language Teacher and now I add to the list being a Yoga Instructor.If there's anything else that you should know about me, it's that you can count on me whenever you're in need of doing something to get better for you, or whoever we can help together.

Are you also ready to develop your English language skills for teaching yoga? ⁠⁠Start here!⁠⁠

Over the past weeks, you've heard me talk about teaching beyond the asanas. I want you to feel confident teaching asana, but also offer more than that: a well-rounded experience!

One way to add more value to your classes and offer these 'well-rounded experiences' is... adding mindfulness and meditation practices!

Writing scripts for mindfulness and meditation practices, as a non-native English speaker, teaching in English, requires you to learn metaphorical language or language for imagination. Learning this type of language is the next level in your language learning and takes some time. But just as it requires skill, knowledge and practice of vocabulary, metaphors and imaginary language you can learn!

In this episode I'll explain how you can add mindfulness and meditation practices to your services and offerings.
