In this week's episode of Yoga Insider, I'm reflecting on a Yin Yoga & Acupuncture workshop I taught this weekend and considering how teaching the same workshop many times provides valuable opportunity for refinement.

I'm also sharing some behind-the-scenes momentum I've been noticing lately: an influx of new inquiries and website traffic, likely tied to the compounding effects of podcast consistency. Things also get personal when I talk about how I'm learning to hold new levels of visibility in my work.

From there, I get into how I prepare for workshops energetically - not just in terms of logistics. I talk about how I take care of myself in the days leading up to hosting workshops and trainings, and how keeping the needs of your students in mind creates a whole new level of presence.

Finally, we talk about the reality of teaching: no matter how much you prepare, not every workshop goes as planned. From tech issues to external distractions, I share stories of when things have gone sideways, and what it takes to stay grounded when they do!

This week's episode of Yoga Insider is all about teaching open-level yoga classes with clarity.

Together, we'll explore how to define your role as a teacher in these settings, why offering a clear starting point for all of the poses and techniques you share is crucial, and how communicating criteria for pose progressions helps your students make better decisions for themselves.

This episode is for yoga teachers who want to lead with clarity and cultivate student agency in open-level classes - without feeling overwhelmed in the process.

• Why diversifying your income can create stability and choice.
• The importance of leaving room to evolve instead of boxing yourself into a single niche.
• How thoughtful collaboration can reduce isolation and support longevity in your work.
• Why finding a steady rhythm takes time and the hidden work you don't see behind teachers who have found their teaching groove.
