Set Your Drishti

I invite you to draw your attention to your eyes. Draw your attention to what you see, to where you look. Above all else, I invite you to notice how you see things. This attention to what we see and how we see it is an ancient yogic practice called "Drishti." Use this practice to turn your mind from distraction to direction.

Backbends are the new forward bends

There is a ton of excitement around bending forwards to touch your toes and stretch your hamstrings. Many times throughout the week, I hear people talk about why they don’t do yoga. One common response is, “I can’t touch my toes.” Stretching your hamstrings has incredible benefits for your mobility, hips, and back health and I recommend to practice them often. At the same time, forward bending isn’t what it’s all about.  What about bending backwards?

Can you teach the same sequence several times?

Can you teach the same sequence several times?

Aside from teaching over 15 classes per week at multiple locations, what is one of the quickest ways to yoga teacher burnout? Always teaching a new class every single time you teach. Attempting to use your creative time and energy for a new playlist, new sequence, new peak pose, new theme is ultimately unsustainable. I get it - we want to share the breadth of our knowledge, share new transitions and poses with our students, offer the vastness of what yoga asana can offer, and what you can offer to your students. In order achieve this objective, does it mean we have to always teach something different?

Starting a new journey is usually a natural combination of two things: excitement and nervousness. New journeys can be exciting because they often involve joyfully conquering a goal about which we are passionate. Somewhere along the way, these new journeys can also unearth our doubts and our insecurities. Is this the right path? Are we making the best choice? Are we ready? This is the exact reason why we often fear taking the big leap into Teacher Training: self doubt.  Let's overcome that together.

5 Reasons Why to Enroll in Teacher Training

I know that thinking about starting teacher training can be as nerve-wrecking as it is exciting, but trust me when I say it is one of THE best decisions you will ever make. I’m not saying this just because I’m the owner and creator of red lila yoga Teacher Training School, but as a fellow yogi. A person who desired to take a leap, trust myself, and share what I love.
