Special ‘Pop-Up' Workshop for Yoga Teachers


Greetings Reader -

One of the most challenging aspects of teaching yoga is integrating yoga philosophy into an asana class or workshop. Over the many years that I’ve been training yoga teachers, this skill is the one that I’m most often asked to help teachers develop.

Many teachers want to offer their students some wisdom from the yoga tradition. And the people who come to classes want to feel a sense of connection when they take a live class, in-person or online.

And yet, many teachers don't feel comfortable speaking about yoga philosophy in their classes because

  • they don’t think anyone is coming to their class to hear them give a philosophy lecture.
  • they worry about sounding preachy to practitioners who don't want to be told how to live their lives.
  • they don’t know how to connect yoga's ancient philosophy to what’s going on in the world right now.
  • they've been in classes where the teacher's talk was too long, boring, or full of clichés and they don't ever want to be that teacher.

These are all valid concerns.

But they’re not insurmountable obstacles.

And I can show you how to overcome them in my upcoming “pop-up” workshop for yoga teachers,

Greetings Reader - Survival mode can take you places you never wanted to go. I never wanted to go to Huntsville, Alabama. But there I was, living in Rocket City, as culturally displaced as a native New Yorker can be. It wasn’t all bad: I got to see Metallica . . . at the Von Braun Civic Center. Yup: the city’s big arena is named after rocket scientist—and Nazi war criminal—Wernher Von Braun. But it was a great show. Survival mode can also turn you into a person you never wanted to be. I never...

Greetings Reader - Once upon a time, I was as an event videographer with just one client: the most prestigious economics think tank in Washington, D.C. Which meant I got to be a fly on the wall for talks by Treasury Secretaries, Federal Reserve Chairmen, leaders of global financial institutions, and numerous experts on the Delphic details of monetary policy, currency fluctuations, and trade balances. The one thing everyone at these talks had in common was that they all fervently believed in...

Hi Reader - Each of us has a unique path that leads to personal fulfillment and the satisfaction of knowing that we’re making a meaningful contribution to the world. But how do you know if you’re on the right path? And if it feels like you're going the wrong way, how do turn things around? With everything that's going on in the world right now, it's more important than ever to know what really means the most to you and how to align what you do with who you really are. That's what my new...
