درباره این پادکست 🔗
Your podcasting resource for answering the questions you have about teaching, offering inspiration for you to question more of what you've been taught, and pushing you to lean into your continuing education.
Each week, I bring you the questions and concerns that live just beneath the surface of your teaching, along with real answers, tools, and strategies you can use in your very next class.
This is not a typical yoga teacher podcast.
I teach science-backed, currently researched strategies drawn from years of continuing education, and I will invite you to question some of what you were taught.
Whether you are a new teacher looking for support or you've been teaching for years, but you still have questions, you're in the perfect place!
About the host: I'm Monica, I've been in the yoga world since 1993 and teaching for more than 14 years, with over 2000 hours of training focused exactly where teachers need it: anatomy, sequencing, injuries, pain science, the nervous system, and the movement modalities that support them. Before yoga, I spent my career in education, traveling the country mentoring school teachers in Illinois, Florida, Texas, and New Jersey, and that background shapes how I teach teachers now. I've also worked through my own injuries from my practice, and collaborate with Physical Therapists, which is a large part of why I do this work. Today I teach students and private clients who are living with pain, I lead corporate classes tailored to specific populations, and I founded the Teaching Students with Injuries mentorship, where teachers learn to serve the students who need them most and are already coming to their classes.
Subscribe and I'll share the experiences, the best tips, the strategies that work for teaching the actual students who come to your classes.
