If this series sparks your interest we'd encourage you to follow that spark... you never know where it may lead you!This is what we spoke about during the episodeThe nervousness and anxiety associated with teaching a Yoga class is natural. You're never going to feel ready. You just have to jump in.Writing your sequence of what you're going to teach helps you prepare and be confident for a class or presentation.Using the "treasure map" approach or breaking down your poses help you overcome the anxiety of memorising your sequence. If you miss something, it's okay!Before walking into a class, get yourself grounded and calm, take a deep breath and switch your mindset to "teacher" mode.Be prepared for surprises such as when someone is running late or the music stops playing.Keep it simple and focus on repetition in sequences. Breath cues also help with the flow.The more you practise teaching, the more you progress.If you loved this episode or have more questions about this, we would love to hear from you, send us an email to [email protected] or [email protected] or message us on our Facebook and Instagram accounts @themerrymakersisters.Always merrymaking,Emma + CarlaP.s if you ever need further help or guidance please contact Lifeline or Beyond Blue.
