Affirmation: I Only Have to Be Me

Yoga teachers: you only have to be you. You don’t have to look like, sound like, or teach like your own teacher or the colleague you are subbing for. Don’t apologize for who you are. Your students can practice no matter who the teacher is, and you have something of value to offer.

Just take a close look at the class title and description so that you’re offering something in line with students’ expectations. Then be you.

Just Scheduled: Fundamentals of Teaching Yin Yoga

Yin for the win: it takes skill to be still! In this workshop, geared to teachers from any background, you’ll learn how to design and cue yin yoga classes. (If you have not done yoga teacher training, you are still welcome; this weekend would be a good experiment to see if you would like to pursue yoga teacher training down the road.)

This workshop includes a preassignment and follow-along classes to complete before we meet, so please budget at least five hours to prepare your homework in the weeks before the workshop.

Our in-person sessions will:

Create a clear definition of what constitutes yin yoga—and what differentiates it from gentle yoga and restorative yogaTake a bird’s-eye view of the history and theory of yin yogaClarify what is happening physiologically and psychologically in yin yoga holdsWorkshop the student experience in yin yoga classes, so we can empathize with and serve our students betterPrompt you to design yin sequences; you’ll also get full class plans to use right awayBuild your confidence in leading students of every age and level of abilityHelp you find the balance between talking and quiet as you lead a yin classGive you a warm, supportive environment in which to practice your newfound yin yoga teaching skills and hone the abilities you already haveregister now

After we meet in person, you’ll design and submit yin yoga class plans for my review and have some back-and-forth mentorship; budget four hours for this work. You’ll also get full access to my sequence library to help you plan classes for every student.

We meet Saturday, 10 a.m.–1 p.m. and 2–5 p.m., and again Sunday, 10 a.m.–1 p.m. (There is no Sunday afternoon session, freeing you to travel.)

This is a module in Carolina Yoga Company’s advanced studies teacher training; it is also open to teachers from any movement modality.

Affirmation: It’s OK to Be Quiet

Yoga teacher affirmations: It’s OK to be quiet. When in doubt, say nothing.

Teaching yoga is not delivering a monologue, a speech, or a radio program. There is no “dead air.”

In fact, silence is critical to giving your students time to connect with themselves.

Resist the urge to fill time with the sound of your voice, and speak only when you have something useful to say.

Affirmation: My Students Just Want to Feel Better

Yoga teacher: your students don’t come to class to judge you. It’s not about you at all! They just want to feel better during and after class. When you start to think you need to make class harder, faster, more “sophisticated,” remember that it’s about your students’ experience and simple is better.

Decenter yourself, drop the story, and offer your students what they need, not what you need. They just want to feel better.

Affirmation: I Don’t Have to Know It All

Yoga teachers (and really, any teachers): you don’t have to know it all—you couldn’t possibly ever know it all! You don’t even need to know more about yoga than your students do.

You just need to know a little something about yoga.

You only need to know one wise and true thing. Say that. Or better yet, ask an open-ended question and let your students supply their own wise and true answers.

This is one in a series of affirmations for yoga teachers. Please let me know which resonate with you!

Yoga for Athletes Teachers: Know Your Scope of Practice

The biggest barrier to you feeling confident in front of the classroom is thinking you need to know it all, that you need a long list of certifications and qualifications to be “legit.” Do any of these sound like something you’ve told yourself?

I don’t know enough about anatomyI don’t know enough about the history of yogaI don’t know enough about philosophyI haven’t taken enough trainings . . . maybe just one more workshop and I’ll feel ready

The truth is, you don’t need to know very much at all! You just need to know the basics of yoga—and not even “fancy” yoga at that.

You don’t need to know it all. You just need to know your place—your scope of practice.

This is especially true when we think about the niche I’ve served for 20 years: athletes seeking peak performance. Often, people hesitate to enter the niche because they think they would need to know a whole lot about athletic conditioning, rehabbing injuries, coaching, sports psychology, etc., etc., etc.

But that’s not the role of the yoga teacher. It’s beyond our scope of practice.

athletes have a big support network

The more advanced the athlete is, the bigger the support network they have surrounding themselves. This slide shows you just some of the support team an athlete might have.

Athletes are getting most of what they need from their support network. As a yoga teacher working with athletes, you’re just adding the secret sauce—yoga—that unites and elevates their work by helping them feel connected, balanced, and present in the moment.

Getting a clear picture of the support teams that athletes have around themselves will help you see your role more clearly. And once you see this role clearly, you’ll feel more confident that you can do it. You’ll know that teaching yoga to athletes doesn’t mean you need to offer conditioning, rehab, sports psychology, nutrition advice, legal services, or anything at all outside the scope of our practice as yoga teachers.

Take a look at this graphic depicting the support network an athlete might have.

Depending on whether the athlete is a student, a professional, or on an Olympic track, they will have support staff in all of these roles on the left working on their behalf.

I trust you already understand your job isn’t to fill any of these roles.

And you probably also know you’re not going to do the work of the coach in planning strategy and tactics.

But you might worry that you need to be involved in your athletic students’ physical conditioning—what you see in the top-right corner. You don’t. The more advanced the athlete, the more time they are spending training. For many, it is their job. It isn’t your job to get these athletes into physical shape.

Instead, you are there as part of the physical and mental support teams. Once you’re really clear on the scope of practice—that is, once you know your place in the scheme of things—you should start to know that you really can do this work. You don’t have to do anything other than teach yoga.

what about injured athletes?

You don’t have to get your athletes into shape—and you also don’t have to fix them when they are broken. 

Injured athletes aren’t going to be at yoga—they’ll be on the trainer’s table getting treatment while the rest of the team does yoga. Or, if you’re working with them one on one, they will know—and you can check—what they are encouraged by their medical team to do and what is contraindicated. But if you’re keeping the yoga as simple and mellow as I will suggest to you, just about anything you’d teach would be fine to do, or easy to modify.

When you think, “I don’t know enough about the sport,” remember that athletes are getting their conditioning at work. Yoga might be a means for them to build balance or body awareness, but their training is doing the heavy lifting there, quite literally. You just need to help them, as trainers like to say, “down-regulate their nervous systems,” so they invite the parasympathetic nervous system to engage the relaxation response. This is all a recovery trick: doing really mellow breath exercises and gentle movements and stretches will help athletes relax. It sets them up to absorb and integrate the hard work of training they do off the yoga mat. The time on the mat shouldn’t be a pile-on, it should be an antidote.

And you already know how to do this: teach your go-to warmup sequences, and teach them slowly. Here’s a hint: This is also the hack for gentle yoga in general, so now you’re capable of subbing gentle yoga, even if you typically teach a sweaty flow! Just take all your warmups that start in different home bases, like reclining, seated, tabletop, and belly down, and put them together.

I hope you find this context reassuring!

Yoga Teachers: How to Plan Your All-Levels Yoga Classes

A sad truth: yoga teachers can’t always help everyone in the room.

Most yoga classes that are open to the public are, by default if not by design, all-levels classes. You’ll find a wide range of ages, experiences, and abilities in the room.

And these are often the classes most beginner teachers lead.

You can’t always teach everyone in the room. You can’t always help everyone in the room at the same time. But you can help everyone over time.

How to Teach All-Levels Yoga Classes

In the group-class setting, I suggest you aim to teach the middle of the curve, the 80 percent, and sell private lessons to the 10 on either end.

When you teach your next all-levels class and find some students need extra care and others might benefit from being challenged, remember not to focus on these outliers to the detriment of the majority in class.

Do what you can to hit the middle of the bell curve.

How do you hit the middle of the bell curve? Well, as the Bhagavad Gita suggests, you just do your best according to your duty as a yoga teacher and try not to get too attached to the outcome.

How to Include (Almost) Everyone in Your Yoga Class

But here are some tips to help you do your best.

Less up and down. Start low to the ground, take your time coming up to standing, then your time coming back down to the ground. Lots of up and down is tough on people with less experience, folks with blood-pressure issues, and just anyone who is tired.

Or start standing—this is especially useful in both early-morning classes, where lying down might lead to falling back asleep, and in after-work classes, when students have been sitting at their desks and in their cars all day. Then slowly make your way down to the mat.

Less time with hands on the floor. While as a teacher with yoga experience, you might love starting in and staying in tabletop for cat/cow, twists, and other moves, your students may not yet have the conditioning in their wrists, elbows, shoulders, and upper-body musculature to make this any fun. If you can think back to your early days as a yoga practitioner, you might remember dealing with wrist pain as your body acclimated to the load of all the hands-to-mat weight-bearing movements.

More single-leg standing balance poses. Don’t just throw in one perfunctory tree pose before reverting to a sun-salutation default. Everyone who walks in to a yoga class will need more balance poses. (And if they came in using a wheelchair, they also benefit from the upper-body movements you see in these balance poses.) Single-leg balance poses build strength in the standing leg and the core while they may simultaneously stretch the raised leg in all kinds of ways. (Think of the outer-hip work and inner-thigh stretch in your raised leg in tree, or in standing figure 4.) These poses allow everyone in the room to work at their own appropriate level of challenge, which makes them especially useful in all-levels classes

Up the ante in fun ways that get students laughing. Most of us take our yoga practice way too seriously—especially those single-leg standing balance poses. To lighten the mood, keep ratcheting up the challenge until everyone finds their wobbly edge or has to fall out of the pose laughing. It could go like this: 

Stand on a softer surface like a blanket, or even a bolsterStand higher up, like on a block or a stairRaise your gaze to the ceilingClose your eyesClose your eyes and turn your head side to sideLift your standing-leg heel off the floorLift your entire standing-leg foot off the floor

OK, that last one was a trick, but the point is that there will always be a next level to every pose. So instead of striving to win, focus on being where you are, at your own appropriate edge.

Hopefully these tips gave you some ideas and confidence to serve the majority of students the next time you are planning to teach your all-levels yoga class. And I hope this helps you feel more confident, capable, and relaxed in front or your group classes.

Remember: this 80 percent, this middle of the bell curve, is where you should focus in your group classes.

How to Help Everyone in the Room—Just Not at the Same Time

Let’s talk about the 10 percent on either end: they might benefit from private lessons.

For the students who are newer to yoga or who would benefit from troubleshooting the best expression of poses, a private lesson can go a long way toward getting them comfortable joining the 80 percent of students you can help in a group class. In a private lesson, you can offer support so that students can make smart choices the next time they are in a group class.

Maybe you see students who might enjoy doing a practice a few steps beyond what you would mention to the 80 percent you’re serving in class. In a private lesson, they can work toward arm balances or other ways to capitalize on their strengths, without letting the tail of more “advanced” students wag the dog of the majority who need a middle-of-the-road practice.
