2024/10/14

In recent episodes I've been talking a lot about pain, injuries and the nervous system a lot. That's because I believe it's such an important topic to discuss. Because you're a movement teacher it's important that you take responsibility for knowing and understanding how the human body moves, how it gets injured, and how students experience pain in their bodies. In this episode, I want to address a few questions that I've had with teachers about why they're

In episodes, 38 and 39. I shared different specific exercises for you to teach your students whether it's in a group setting or a one-on-one private setting to help them feel and notice and learn to regulate their nervous systems. Although we can't really physically see or know for sure if an exercise is working, we can get feedback from students regarding their well-being.For example, if a student says, "I haven't been able to fully relax like that, and over 20 years!"

Ep 37: Understanding Pain Beyond Tissue Damage

Essential Conversations for Yoga Teachers ·

2024/09/09

Pain is a complex and often misunderstood experience because it doesn't always correlate directly with tissue damage. Instead, pain is influenced by the nervous system, emotions and psychological factors, which can cause people to experience significant discomfort, even when there's little to no physical injury present.Graded exposure therapy offers one solution by gradually reintroducing the person in pain to the activities they fear & helping to retrain the nervous system and reduce

The study of pain has seen significant developments in recent years shifting our understanding of pain from a purely physical symptom to a complex multifaceted experience that involves the nervous system, psychological factors and social conditions.As a yoga teacher, it's important to understand that asana, stretching, strengthening, and movement will not solve all pain related issues.

2024/08/26

When working with students who are under the care of healthcare professionals, it's imperative that you're diligent about communicating effectively with them and their medical professionals. It should be a goal of yours that the yoga practice complements the student's overall treatment plan, especially if you're working with private clients. I have clients with ongoing injuries, clients post-surgery, clients who've been cleared from their physical therapists to return or to

We've been diving into the world of anatomy lately and there's so much new information about the human body that we're learning every single day. But don't you worry about that, I got you! I've created so many different ways to help yoga teachers learn anatomy in bite size, easy to understand ways so that the feeling of overwhelmed does not consume you.I've taught anatomy in numerous yoga teacher trainings and instead of just going through PowerPoint slides and watching

2024/07/08

The short answer is yes! Now let's talk about how. Proprioception often referred to as your body's sixth sense. It's your innate ability to perceive the position, movement, and action of your body parts in space, without having to look at them. This complex sensory feedback system involves receptors located in the muscles, tendons, and joints that constantly send information to your brain about your body's positioning and movement.

I believe with my whole heart that it's not enough to only create sequences and themes for classes. You should know & have a basic understanding of how the poses and transitions are affecting the students' bodies. And I think you're doing a disservice to your students if you don't study anatomy.If an injured student shows up to class and you have no knowledge of anatomy, how can you serve them responsibly?

Ep 27: The Hyper-sexualization of Yoga

Essential Conversations for Yoga Teachers ·

2024/06/17

Instead of being a place for mental peace in personal growth, yoga becomes another source of societal pressure. One way the hypersexualization of yoga harms students is via their mental and emotional wellbeing. The pressure to match idealized images can lead to anxiety, stress, and even eating disorders, and this is especially worrying. Students turn to yoga to escape the very stress and societal expectations that they are experiencing in life, many times caused by hypersexualization and body image

I've struggled with the way that yoga has been commodified here in the west, we've changed the practice into this fitness routine. It's a "Get in, get on your mat, work hard, sweat it out, get out and shuffle in the next class" environment.

Do you use social media for work - to share your classes or any other offerings? Have you ever felt like social media blurred the lines between your personal and professional boundaries? Sharing glimpses of your personal life can foster connection and relate-ability with your audience, but it can also lead to a loss of privacy and a sense of constant scrutiny, whether it's self-imposed or from the public.

In relationships, boundaries are the rules we set for ourselves about what's okay & what's not okay, and how we're treated & how we treat others. Boundaries, help us feel safe and respected. When we have clear boundaries and stick to them, It makes our relationships stronger because we know where we stand and what to expect.
