Integrity Beyond the Metrics: Community Conversations with Elena Cheung

from Yoga Medicine · host Yoga Medicine

As we close out the year, how do we, as yoga teachers, gauge our progress? How can we assess our success? Today, host Rachel and returning guest Elena Cheung share their answers to these questions. We discuss why one-dimensional metrics like ratings, reviews, student numbers, online likes, and follows are so appealing, as well as the complexities of teaching that they fail to capture. Listen to this episode to learn how to balance your interests and values with the needs of your students, and how to meaningfully reflect on your work as a yoga teacher. — Show Notes: Complexities that ratings & reviews don't express [3:32] From "teacher knows best" to "the customer is always right"? [10:20] Navigating changing student tastes with integrity [13:06] The space that teaching experience creates around feedback [21:46] Why "objective" metrics appeal, and what they miss [26:12] How to gauge success as a yoga teacher [33:05] Final takeaways [47:27] — Links Mentioned: Watch this episode on YouTube Previous Yoga Medicine® Podcast Episodes: 74: Yoga for All 141: Pitfalls of Private Yoga (and How to Avoid Them) The Art of Teaching Impactful Group Classes Online Course Connect with Elena Cheung: Instagram | Elena Shapeshifts | The Way Softness Moves | Yoga Medicine® Online Guest Teacher You can learn more about this episode and see the full show notes at YogaMedicine.com/podcast-153.
