About this listen

 Welcome to "The Language of Yoga" podcast, hosted by Becca Schmidt, E-RYT500/YACEP, a 20-year veteran yoga instructor. Prepare to take your yoga teaching skills from average to extraordinary as Becca shares her wisdom, experiences, and practical tips for helping your students find a transformative journey of self-discovery. In this podcast, we'll delve into the art of using language to cue and connect. Discover the power of vocal tone, volume, repetition, and even the beauty of silence and stillness. But that's not all – we'll also explore the impact of incorporating class themes such as the Chakras, the Yamas and Nyamas, the elements of fire, water, and air and many more. By embracing these themes, both you and your students can tap into the magic of metaphor and visualization. Imagine guiding your students to embody the grounding energy of the root chakra or incorporating the principles of the Yamas and Nyamas for ethical decision-making on and off the mat. Themes add depth and richness to your classes, allowing your students to connect with the natural forces within themselves. Throughout the podcast, Becca will share invaluable insights, personal experiences, and practical tips on seamlessly integrating words, vocal qualities and themes into your instruction. Whether you're an experienced teacher seeking to revitalize your classes or a curious beginner diving into the depth of yoga, "The Language of Yoga" is here to empower and inspire you.© 2025 Rebecca Schmidt Hygiene & Healthy Living Personal Development Personal Success Psychology Psychology & Mental Health

    Season Three: Episode 1
    Bringing your voice to the Forefront


    Becca talks with Angela Schwoneck, a vocal courage coach and musician who specializes in the type of music yoga teachers love so much - bells, bowls, drums, shruti box and the human voice!

    Angela leads the listeners in a chant that can cure a headache and give the body a sense of sweet serenity. (She also teaches us to chant OM with wild abandon!). Angela shares stories from her experience as a Kundalini yoga teacher and explains why the human voice can be the most powerful — and certainly the most accessible --instrument in a yoga teacher's bag. Go to Angela’s website for a full description of her in-person and virtual programs.
