    Manicures aren't self-care (and why it matters)

    Self-care is essential for yoga teachers - but easier said than done. In the fast pace of modern culture, our role has partly become a cheerleader for self-care. Yet, many of us live with life circumstances that cause us to neglect our own self-care. In this week’s episode of the podcast I demystify the idea of self-care and offer a simple way of thinking about it that will help you understand how to implement it in your own life.   A simple way of describing self-care from a yoga perspective. A review of the structure and function of the human nervous system and how it relates to self care. Why understanding the nervous system is helpful for yoga teachers.  How the modern self-care movement oversimplifies self care and portrays it in a misleading and potentially harmful way.  Additional ways to think about and practice self care that are more effective and accessible.  How to talk about self care with your yoga students.

    Self-Doubt and Impostor Syndrome

    This episode from 2019 was inspired by a facebook post I made on the Yoga Teacher Resource Facebook Group. I was having my own moment of doubt and decided to share in order to help normalize the experience for other teachers. The response was overwhelming! That post has gotten the most comments in the group so far. It made me realize that there is a need for yoga teachers to hear that they are not alone when they doubt and to understand where the doubt comes from and what to do about it.  Highlights Why self-doubt is getting more and more prevalent among yoga teachers The positive aspects of impostor syndrome What to focus on in your teaching during moments of doubt My personal process for self-care when I experience doubt
