Great conversation! I loved your points about the teacher “ demonstrating “ with their tone, not just their body. Being humble, sincere and authentic in their demonstrations. Your senses of humor is so beautiful and open. Sisterlike. Thanks a million! ❤

Thanks - this was encouraging! As teachers we need to find energy and inspiration for every class so we need to find ways to pace ourselves.

Yes! And pacing in life, too....we LOVE to give as teachers, but this can also lead to burn out! Any tips for how you find energy and inspiration for your classes? What keeps you engaged?

@@RachelScottYoga At the end of last year I was feeling exhausted and burnt out! This year, I'm resolving to not feel like I have to plan a new class every week (I've decided to have monthly themes and plan one class per month - with some minor variations each week). I teach a few classes a week of gentle yoga. I think this was actually one of your suggestions to do more repetition in your classes which is good for the students and good for the teachers! I'm also trying to do more yoga myself, i.e. online and other peoples classes which I always learn from and find inspiration from. So these are the 2 main things I'm working on this year. Thanks for your suggestions/guidance - I find them so useful and encouraging!

@@karinwilsonedmonds Sounds like an EXCELLENT resolution. As yoga teachers, I think we want to give so much that we wind up neglecting our own well. These are great practical tips for staying topped up :) xo
