Yoga teachers are eager learners! Coming out of YTT you know that your journey doesn’t stop there. There’s always more to discover, more knowledge to gain and more to learn.

The yoga industry is booming and growing faster than ever before. The variety and options are countless and with the growth of yoga in the past years, I think it can really help to get some guidance on choosing your continuing education in the way that best suits you.

You’re not the only one, if you enrol in course after course. That you’re always looking for new programmes and ways to upskill your expertise. But, how do you choose your next yoga teacher course?

In this training I’m taking you through 5 questions to make that decision with intention. So that you start it with the right attitude and complete it feeling fulfilled, confident and capable.

This is the third episode of our mini series on sequencing!

By now you know, every teacher is different. Some teachers love to write out detailed sequences and scripts, others keep it to bullet points or stick figures. Maybe you already know what methods work for you. Make it your own and choose the techniques that match your learning style and preference.

1. Practise what you teach

2. Highlight your detailed designs and scripts

3. Use keywords or bullet points

4. Draw stick figures

5. Create your own language

As an educator and avid learner, in my classes and coaching sessions I get often asked about the best strategies to speed up professional development. The first time I researched this topic was years ago, when I taught English to adults in Edinburgh, Scotland. In this job position I usually spent 2-4 months with students, fully immersed, to speed up their learning process so that they could use English for their job as pilots, oil rig workers, hairdressers and what not.

Obviously, my work today is completely focussed on language, communication, and business education for yoga teachers - so your needs, aims, dreams, wishes and objectives you have for your career are completely different. However, my experience teaching people from all sorts of backgrounds, and the research I did back then have helped me tremendously supporting you and all the people I’ve worked with in their professional development.

Over the past three years, I’ve helped hundreds of yoga teachers and yoga business owners in their professional development journeys. From simply gaining confidence in their teaching skills, overcoming fears and self-doubt, creating services to teach what they most love to share, to actually helping them build their own business and international career.

What we all know is that everyone is different. My experience shows as well that every journey is different. Every goal is personal and we all have our own challenges and obstacles along the way.

But I do believe that the three things I'm sharing today, will support and speed up your professional development!

The main job of a yoga teacher is to assist students in a journey of self-discovery. You’re not teaching them to tell them what to do but to support them with tools and guidance that suits their goals, wishes, and current experience for deeper connections and self-exploration.

Being a teacher comes with great responsibility. It requires you to be mindful of your language and communication. You'll have to pay attention to who you’re actually teaching and what you can do to ensure that your classes provide them with what they truly need.

Apart from developing your social skills and building student-teacher relationships, you need to become aware of how you instruct and speak to them in a supportive way.

So, in this episode let’s analyse 4 types of cues that support your students.

A common misconception is that to learn how to teach yoga in a foreign language is to attend regular language classes. But, the terminology regarding the different areas the practice of yoga can benefit in life is very specific. To guide your students through a completely transformational experience, you need to have knowledge and the ability to speak about more than just the body.

As a multilingual yogi it can feel extremely discouraging knowing you speak a language, but not being able to express yourself fully in a yoga class. I understand what it’s like to doubt your accent, you’re using the right words and find it challenging to speak with clarity. Or, find words and phrases that make your cues easy to remember.

You may think you’re repetitive and your students find your classes boring. Or you believe that you aren’t clear enough and your cues lack imagination. You want to be able to guide your students in a way that’s accurate, safe, informative, but also inspiring!

It may surprise you that to do so, your accent, fear of repetition and memorising the right words aren’t part of the mistakes I address in this episode. To upgrade your language skills, you need to start with awareness of the five communication mistakes multilingual yogis make in regard to language and mindset - let's begin!

Manifest to your ideal teaching career with intention

Your challenges as a multilingual yoga teacher aren’t the same as that of teachers teaching in their first language. They’re about identity, language, and communication which are both unique and personal. Yet all teachers in our community deal with these same things.

So, in order for me to create an impactful experience, I reflected on all the things I missed in my training and education as a non-native speaker. And that’s when I realised that having knowledge is step one, but the opportunity to embody this knowledge through practice, teaching experience and the help of a community is underestimated.

I came to realise that all the work I’ve put into creating our courses is because I want them to truly make a difference for you.

They are inspiring, motivating and completely personalised to your learning styles and professional goals. They help you transform your teaching voice, techniques, knowledge and skills so that you can create the teaching career you dream of.

So, in this training, I want to help YOU manifest your ideal teaching career with intention.

JOURNAL QUESTIONS FOR ACTIVE GOAL-PLANNING:

1. How is my year unfolding?

2. What have I already achieved?

3. Who played a part in my success?

4. What positive habits support me?

6. What negative habits hinder me?

7. What do I want to accomplish before the year ends?

8. Set a positive, affirmative intention that reminds you of your purpose and holds you accountable for taking action in direction of your goals!

You can take your time answering them and feel free to write me an email or DM with your reflections.

Always ask for help, support or feedback if you want it!
