Teaching Yoga From the Heart

The world is crying out for yoga teachers who can move people’s souls, not just their bodies.

Yoga teaching that connects from the heart and cuts through the noise is what our students are craving – and many don’t even know that they do!

Weaving philosophy with heart-centered language into technical instruction in yoga is a skill that separates the “yoga teachers” from the “yoga instructors”.

And it’s the one thing that will set you a part in a crowded field.

Three main distinctions of a yoga teacher vs. a yoga instructor are:

1. Yoga teachers offer themes relevant to their student’s spiritual, mental, and emotional needs — responding to current events

2. They know how to teach from the heart and offer their “real” selves

3. They integrate heart virtues & yoga philosophy with their technical instruction for a truly embodied practice

Yoga teachers – we are now hosting a new virtual teacher training module to help you give back to your students in ways they truly need right now.

In this new module you will:

• Learn how to weave philosophy and heart-centered language into your technical instructions.

• Explore what it means to share personal anecdotes with your students
  Contemplate relevant themes for your students to offer a more integrated experience of yoga

• Discover how to make your classes more meaningful through heart-centered (but brief!) dharma talks

• Hone the skills needed to make you stand out in the crowd

• Work together on contemplating real themes and class plans followed by led practices with Amy

• Practice giving heart & technical integrated instructions and receive feedback

This module is open to all and is also a way for those already in our 500 Hour program to continue acquiring hours toward their certification.
