Tips

​

Honor your style, don't compare your style with others.

Speak loud enough for students to hear you.

Be aware of the room... temperature, lighting, space and placement of mats.

Be aware of the students... while demonstating look up at students occassionally.

Be bold to lead the class, verbally cueing or physically adjusting if needed, not neccesarily.

Bring music if desired, not neccessary.

Bring any props or visuals if you needed, not neccessary.

Arrive a bit early, center yourself before you start.

​

BELIEVE IN YOURSELF

Know that the only way to become a competent yoga instructor is to practice... to do it!

The more you lead classes the more cofindent, competent and relaxed you become.
