In a previous post, we talked about Planning and Teaching Yoga Workshops. So, what is the difference between a workshop and a series? Read on as we discuss the differences, benefits, and more. Benefits for the Teacher and the Studio As a new yoga teacher, proposing to teach a series class, like a workshop, may […]
There is so much information to process as a new yoga teacher. It’s easy to get “in your head” about everything you’ve learned to provide a well-rounded, memorable class to your students. Memorizing your sequence alone can lead to anxiety (I always had notes handy in the beginning), let alone presenting your theme, Pranayama, and […]
Have you ever thought of combining your passion of yoga with another passion? I teach On the Mat, Yoga for Equestrians classes and workshops which combines my passions of yoga and horseback riding. It wasn’t very long into my early days of practicing that I saw a lot of parallels between yoga and riding. I’ve […]
What is a guided meditation? There is a lot of talk about mindfulness and meditation these days because meditation is proven to offer many benefits from increasing calmness and overall emotional well-being to improving mental cognition and reducing memory loss.

I recalled my 200 hour YTT (yoga teacher training) and first being introduced to the eight limbs. How foreign and […]

In a recent post, we discussed Pranayama (breath control) and the reasons we incorporate the 4th limb of yoga into our physical practice. Other useful tools for centering and grounding students include […]
Sequencing Tips for New Yoga Teachers Should you build your yoga sequence to a “peak” pose? At some point in your yoga teaching journey, the time will come to build your own sequences. In your yoga teacher training, you may have been taught to always peak to a chosen pose. Or, you may have been […]
How comfortable are you teaching Pranayama (breath control)? As a new teacher, my comfort level was somewhere around a two on a scale of one to ten. Not comfortable at all. But like anything else, with practice it became much more comfortable, as it will for you too. Here are a few tips on teaching […]
