<p><strong>Season 9 | Ep.1 </strong></p><p><br></p><p><strong>7 Things I Wish I&#39;d Known When I Started Teaching Yin Yoga</strong></p><p>In this episode, I&#39;m sharing seven things I wish someone had told me earlier in my teaching journey. These aren&#39;t lessons you have to wait decades to earn. Think of them more like signposts to keep an eye on as your teaching unfolds, whether you&#39;re brand new or you&#39;ve been at this for years.</p><p><strong>What we get into:</strong></p><p><strong>1. The nervous system always has the first and last say</strong></p><p><strong>2. Timing matters more than technique</strong></p><p><strong>3. Your presence matters more than your plan</strong></p><p><strong>4. Variability isn&#39;t the problem; it&#39;s the practice</strong></p><p><strong>5. I stopped teaching poses and started teaching people</strong></p><p><strong>6. Experience doesn&#39;t give you all the answers</strong></p><p><strong>7. Go teach, then come back and study again</strong></p><p><br></p><p><strong> Also mentioned in this episode:</strong></p><p><a href="https://nykdanu.com/teachers/yin-yoga-podcast/my-1-pose-for-every-yin-yoga-class/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">My #1 Pose for Every Yin Yoga Class (constructive rest)</a></p><p><a href="https://nykdanu.com/teachers/yin-yoga-podcast/dear-yin-yoga-teacher-please-shut-up/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dear Yin Yoga Teacher- Please Shut Up</a></p><p><a href="https://nykdanu.com/teachers/yin-yoga-podcast/how-to-teach-exceptional-yin-yoga-classes/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">How To Teach Exceptional Yin Yoga Classes </a></p><p><a href="https://nykdanu.com/teachers/yin-yoga-podcast/mentorship-matters-in-yin-yoga/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Mentorship matters </a></p><p><strong>Let&#39;s connect:</strong>I&#39;d love to hear what pearls of wisdom you&#39;ve picked up on your own teaching journey.
