As a new yoga teacher (1 year +), Rachel’s tips are spot on. It is especially important to focus on improving one thing at a time and self assessment. Being honest with ourselves, trying new things, stepping into areas of discomfort and giving ourselves permission to make mistakes is how we grow. After completing 200 hours of training I sought out an opportunity to teach and have found that the process significantly enhances my personal practice. And what I enjoy from my personal practice, I incorporate in my classes. It becomes a virtuous circle. Thank you for spelling this out so well. Namaste 🕉💚🙏💚

Rachel I CANNOT thank you enough!!! You are my saving grace! I wish you could be my mentor! I am about to graduate an online 200hr YTT & just don’t feel ready. I have been watching countless videos to try to learn anything I can to feel more comfortable & make the necessary connections I still feel are needed. I came across your videos recently & am just so grateful!!! You are just a wealth of knowledge & really love what you do which really shows!! I have a job lined up as my friend is opening a studio & asked me to be a yoga teacher. I had no experience with yoga prior. The studio is opening soon & I am actually terrified. I can say I have come to truly love yoga & want to be able to give it away to my community. I am therefore just continuing to push through. Thank you again so very much! ❤🧘♀️💫

Jessica! It is great to hear from you and I think that a lot of watchers in this community will absolutely resonate with your experience! What I like to share with my own grads: be of service. Simply share what you know, and be of service to the students. You don't need to know everything in order to teach something. And your clear commitment to the practice tells me that you will have lots of good things to share with your students! We never feel ready to teach when we start...through teaching, we start to feel ready :) And the good news ~ you can study with me! LOL Keep an eye out for my online classes and sequencing mentorship. I also teach continuing education retreats for teachers if the right opportunity ever arises. But til then, it's great to connect with you here!

I do not plan on teaching at a studio. My goal is to rent a small space and teach a few classes a week. I am not really involved with the yoga community. I have always done online learning, is that going to hinder my teaching?
@RachelScottYoga

Hi Lori - there are certain skills that you can work on in person that you can't really do online (teaching presence, vocal presence, hands on assists). I wouldn't do hands on without in person training, but you can self-assess your physical and vocal presence (or be open to someone coming in and giving you feedback on your class). Now all that said, I run an online 200 hour and my grads do great :) Now just in case this isn't on your radar yet, here's something to work on: get off your mat. Don't demo. Watch your students and teach from what you see.

How can you be an “okay” yoga teacher and get a job at a studio?
@RachelScottYoga
3 ай бұрын
Everyone starts as an unskilled teacher, then through practice becomes an "okay" yoga teacher, and then eventually through practice and dedication becomes an excellent yoga teacher. No one can be an excellent teacher off the bat. You get a job the same as everyone else: do your best and work for improvement. And every market is also different (gyms ancd community centers may be easier to get work at at first than an established studio). Practice and all is coming!

Totally depends on situation and the class tone. You might say nothing at all ~ or if the class is giggly about it and the fart simply can't be missed, say something like, "yoga really gets the apana moving." I always find laughter and normalization is good medicine!

I'm a relatively new yogi, been going to yoga consistently for a year and this is of course further out but I was wondering how many years of experience would you need under your belt to start teacher training?
@RachelScottYoga
Жыл бұрын
Hi Sanne! To take a YTT? I think you can really take it anytime. It's a great way to set a solid foundation for your practice and an excellent way to dive deeper into the tradition :) Also, I don't happen to think that yoga is about doing exotic asana...so I'm less inclined to think that you need to have a certain level of practice expertise. A sincere desire to learn is the best prerequisite :)
