To 'Namaste' Or Not to 'Namaste' (At the End of A Yoga Class)

I’ve discovered in a recent Sutra Study group discussion that I may have been culturally misappropriating the word Namaste, by saying it at end of class instead of the beginning.

ADAPTING TO COVID-19: Should I start teaching yoga online?

This is a humongous question especially for those teachers who has anxiety issues. You don’t have to teach just because everyone else is doing it. Do it because you want to. Because you want to be - of service and you want to keep showing up for others.

And I could write a post relating to Anatomy, but why not leave this to the expert? So with permission from Trish Corley, the question of where the foot is to be placed in a Tree Pose, is answered here…

It’s a question, I know most beginners will be curious about. (And it includes bonus cue-ing tips for Yoga teachers!)

Why Teach Baptiste Yoga

Why Teach Baptiste Yoga

This week I'm tooting my own horn because I've just unlocked next level in Baptiste Yoga accreditation! I remember when I first did my Baptiste Level 1 trainingin 2016, never would I have imagined I'd travel to the USA several times to train with Baron and Paige, and I'm very proud to say that I'm now a Tier 2 Certified Baptiste Yoga Educator. And 6 years ago, I’d never even thought it’s possible for me to teach yoga.

I love how they differentiate the "title" of each level from

Teacher>Leader>Educator>Influencer.

Although on paper, I'm just a plain ol' yoga TEACHER, yet there's an inner sense of pride knowing I've done so much tto get where I am, despite my negative thoughts. :)

And being a YOGA EDUCATOR sounds about right for what I'm up to right now.
