Things We No Longer Do as Yoga Teachers

June 12, 2023The Funny Thing About YogaThings We No Longer Do as Yoga TeachersEpisode No. 18In this weeks episode Giana and Bradshaw have a candid discussion about things they no longer do while teaching yoga. They discuss 15 changes they’ve made to their teaching practice in detail, share stories, and explain what they do do instead. This is an episode that truly embraces change and encourages growth. And of course It all begins with casual banter about their names, ways to get involved with the podcast, and a random tangent on Robin Williams and of course, death. They end just as strong, sharing stories about a dharma talk gone wrong and the most unwelcoming teaching experience and then another tangent about where they shopped in high school and Giana’s experience as a Long Island Emo kid. We appreciate your support and 5-star reviews, thank you for listening! 00:00 Intro00:35 Welcome Back Banter05:12 Let’s Get Into It06:07 #1 I Don’t Overshare Personal Life10:13 #2 I Don’t Practice While Teaching 13:55 #3 I Don’t Skimp on Savasana 14:49 #4 I Don’t Only Teach Chaturanga Transitions16:48 #5 I Don’t Make Up Classes on the Fly 17:52 #6 I Don’t Play Music Immediately 19:39 #7 I No Longer Give Hands on Assists20:24 #8 I Don’t Teach Overly Complicated Sequences 24:01 #9 I Don’t Passively Stretch as Much26:32 #10 I No Longer Use Certain Cues 30:47 #11 I Don’t Use Exclusive Language 31:34 #12 I Don’t Teach Counterposes 33:58 #13 I Don’t Light Incense34:45 #14 I Don’t Call Out Peoples Names37:04 #15 I Don’t Talk Too Much39:46 Whats Really Important?41:48 Cancel, Explore, Commit42:41 The Funny thing About Yoga51:50 Outro Follow Us on Instagram:@TheFunnyThingAboutYoga @CayaYogaSchool @GianaGambino @BradshawWishJoin us in Nicaragua: https://www.cayayogaschool.com/nicargua Be Featured on the Podcast: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSck2nTNc_UlcCKBhZId5DmDwoU6aslkFfGKtdz-1uSo-HNY8g/viewformSubscribe to our Newsletter: https://www.cayayogaschool.com/contactFollow us on IG: https://www.instagram.com/thefunnythingaboutyoga/Learn more about C.A.Y.A.
