7 Things I Wish I Had Known When I started Teaching Yin Yoga
<p><strong>Season 9 | Ep.1 </strong></p><p><br></p><p><strong>7 Things I Wish I'd Known When I Started Teaching Yin Yoga</strong></p><p>In this episode, I'm sharing seven things I wish someone had told me earlier in my teaching journey. These aren'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're brand new or you'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't the problem; it's the practice</strong></p><p><strong>5. I stopped teaching poses and started teaching people</strong></p><p><strong>6. Experience doesn'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's connect:</strong>I'd love to hear what pearls of wisdom you've picked up on your own teaching journey.
