Things Yoga Teachers Do Well.

April 24, 2023The Funny Thing About YogaThings Yoga Teacher’s Do Well. Episode No. 11Giana and Bradshaw start this episode off with some friendly banter and address Bradshaw’s voice, being called Mrs. Wish and having strangers “yes ma’am” him on the phone. Naturally this leads to a conversation about working through major tangents during their online trainings and holding space for students- a segue to the actual topic of the day, Things Yoga Teachers Do Well. This episode details the skills and qualities they both love to see in a yoga teacher. Though they can agree and disagree at times, they talk about moments of silence, showing up as your authentic self, really seeing your students, using positive cues, fostering autonomy, confidence, critical thinking and the ability to admit when you don’t know something or if something is outside of your scope of practice. Of course they have to share stories about Beyonce, Obama, Giana’s former celebrity client, and a recent absurd and uncomfortable experience at a hot yoga studio. All this before a casual game of Cancel, Explore, Commit and ‘The Funny Thing About Yoga.’ This may be one of the most unhinged episodes yet, but we had a lot of fun recording It. 00:00 Intro00:30 Welcome Back Shenanigans 04:45 Todays Topic: Things That Inspire Us in a Yoga Teacher06:32 Allow Room for Silence 07:50 Cultivating Autonomy 11:34 Don’t say Don’t 14:06 Be Authentic 16:03 Beyonce, Obama and Name Dropping18:58 Appropriation and Authenticity21:56 Be Confident & Humble - Stay in your Scope26:10 Teachers can Hold Space and Refer28:02 Yoga Teachers should See their Students32:10 Unique and Critical Thinkers33:37 Cancel, Explore, Commit34:50 The Funny Thing About Yoga39:55 Nicaragua Retreat, Join Us!40:52 OutroFollow 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.
