Know What You Know

The longer I teach, the more I learn. However, this has caused me some self-doubt. It seems that whenever I feel I understand something, I learn later that, in fact, I hadn't really understood it.

Communicate Effectively

It seems to be a common belief that yoga teachers should instruct or talk softly throughout poses, keeping a consistent pace. However, recently as I was instructing how to get into a pose and maintain balance, a student interrupted me by saying that if I kept talking throughout, she wasn't able to focus.

Ease the Discomfort of Chanting

I am very fond of chanting and I believe that, when performed with attention, it can be a spiritual, meditative practice that not only helps one get closer to one's inner self but also brings group members closer to one another.

Exercises for Altitude Sickness

Pregnancy and Teaching

I have been practicing yoga for more than 10 years and through three pregnancies. I did my 200 hours of teacher training in April and, along with my friend and business partner, opened a small but thriving yoga studio in Knysna, South Africa.
