What I Got Wrong as a New Yoga Teacher (and What I Do Now)

Описание: What did you get wrong as a new yoga teacher? Bree looks back on 20+ years—“yoga voice,” prescriptive cueing, and the Pinterest-quote myth that “the poses you don’t like are the ones you need.” We unpack why those didn’t serve students, how to shift to action cues, what to do with feedback (good and bad), and how to find your voice without micromanaging bodies.

In this episode you’ll learn:

Why “yoga voice” happens—and how to sound like you
The problem with prescriptive, micromanaging cues
Action cues that protect autonomy and land better in real bodies
Hypermobility, proprioception, and why “where should I feel this?” backfires
Handling feedback + clarifying your why as a teacher
Evolving your teaching without losing the heart of yoga
