Teaching teachers how to teach yoga is a massive responsibility. (How many times am I going to write the word “teach” in this intro???)
Many people who listen to this podcast either already are, or are hoping to be a teacher of teachers. I get asked all the time for advice on creating and leading a teacher training. I have created a very successful speciality training, The Science of the Private Lesson, and a big part of my business is mentoring yoga teachers. I have supported teachers in writing their own 200 hour teacher training, but I have never actually created or led my own foundational 200 hour teacher training. So to have this conversation I asked my Yoga Mama, and the ultimate Teacher of Teachers Cyndi Lee, to join me and walk us through how to create and lead a teacher training.
In this episode you’ll hear:
how to decide what to cover in a teacher training since yoga is so vast and expansive
what is most important to consider when you first start to write the manual or syllabus for your teacher training
how to teach sequencing and class planning to future yoga teachers
what Cyndi thinks about marketing a teacher training as a way to "deepen your practice" without an intention to teach
how teacher trainers can stimulate creativity and confidence in their learners
