Conversations for Yoga Teachers

For this episode, I’ll review some more concepts in anatomy as a follow up to last week’s episode.

Find yourself stuck in a certain approach to a challenge you’re having with your teaching? Maybe it’s around learning something new. Whatever it is, learning how to re-frame the issue is a great technique, grounded in neuroscience. Listen as I walk you through how to do this, with examples that are relevant to teaching.

Here I talk about a number of anatomy concepts and how you can apply them to your teaching.

Did you ever wonder about those yoga cues you hear that refer to the endocrine system? Well, get ready because we’re going to talk about the endocrine system today. Jennifer Zucconi is a functionally trained registered dietitian with a specialty in working with people with endocrine system issues.
