Are you a new Power Vinyasa yoga teacher?

How are you feeling post yoga teacher training?

Those first few classes in front of a real, live group (besides your fellow trainees) can be quite… exhilarating, to say the least!

I remember feeling:

Nervous
Self-critical
Ungrounded
Like I was thinking too hard
Unsure of when I would feel more confident

If you’re new to teaching yoga, and stepping in front of the room kinda makes you want to freak out a little… here are 3 ideas that might help you.

Become curious. Let your curiosity toward your nerves give you motivation and inspiration to learn about yourself rather than pick apart your teaching. Trust your intuition and let it guide you. Continually return to and meditate on the deeper WHY for every feeling that’s coming up. This is all part of the learning process!
Get one class dialed in. A sequence that you love and have memorized— something you can always fall back on. Practice it over and over on your own. Use that as a base and then build more complicated flow classes from there. Give yourself permission to start simple! Students love simple— it gives them one thing at a time to focus on, and helps them walk away from class feeling successful and empowered.
Consider a resource like a yoga script to help you memorize the cues. At least while you’re getting your solid footing, a yoga script can be super helpful for taking the pressure off. I’ve got one if you want to try…

Here’s what yoga teachers are saying about the POWER YOGA SCRIPT:

“This definitely helped me improve my flow with teaching asana after my teacher training.” -Donita, Vinyasa yoga teacher

”I love how you laid this script out. I felt confused and scattered as I was working on my classes and this helped me save time in the process. Thank you!” -Keyla, yin yoga teacher

“I’ll be honest: when I got done with my 200-hour training, I felt totally lost. I mean, my trainers went over all the poses but as soon as I’d get in front of the room, the words just weren’t there. I felt so stuck. This book helped me build my confidence and doing some memorization so I wasn’t always so terrified to teach.” -Beth, power vinyasa teacher

The point of yoga scripts for teachers is to help you build a foundation you can teach from. The yoga script is a tool that gives you an exact structure so that you don’t have to worry about coming up with the sequence; you can instead focus just on giving safe cues during yoga class.

A yoga script is meant to be a starting place, a way to build ideas. Then, as you practice, you can get more creative. What do you think? Would you try a yoga class script?
