Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How I Got Here And What We May Have In Common (EP.407)
Q: What do you wish every yoga teacher knew?
That it isn't necessary to overcomplicate things; you can teach in a fundamental, authentic way and still deliver powerful classes. It's about showing up as your true self and mastering mindset to avoid being governed by others' judgments.
How I Got Here And What We May Have In Common (EP.407)
Q: What did you create to solve the problem the industry gets wrong?
I created the 10-step Yoga Anatomy Blueprint, a proprietary learning system designed to simplify anatomy for teachers and focus on essential knowledge, reducing overwhelm and time wasted on irrelevant material.
How I Got Here And What We May Have In Common (EP.407)
Q: What does the yoga industry get wrong about teacher training?
The industry lacks consistency in teaching anatomy across trainings and often has no objective testing. I argue for a standardized, evidence-based learning system with measurable results, which led me to create my own 10-step Yoga Anatomy Blueprint.
How I Got Here And What We May Have In Common (EP.407)
Q: When did anatomy become important to you?
Anatomy mattered from the start due to my medical-adjacent background and love of functional movement. I wanted to teach movement that served real-world function for anyone, not just advanced poses, which shaped my approach to anatomy in teaching.
How I Got Here And What We May Have In Common (EP.407)
Q: What did you struggle with most as a new teacher?
Mindset and limiting beliefs were dominant struggles. I also felt the pressure of teaching in a demanding studio environment, while managing financial realities and building a broader teaching portfolio to avoid relying on a single studio.
