As a brand new yoga teacher, I found myself struggling with a few things:

Remembering what to say to get students from one pose to another (memorizing a sequence)
Dealing with pre-class nerves
Finding my authentic voice and showing up vulnerably with all eyes on me without getting overwhelmed

Over time, I realized how important it was to practice, practice, practice. Saying the words out loud over and over in my car while driving during my daily commute and during weekend trips helped me memorize the sequences I wanted to teach, and helped me retain the overall Baron Baptiste power vinyasa yoga sequence.

In time, I developed a tool that I wish I’d had when I first started teaching: a Power Vinyasa Yoga Script. What is a yoga script? It’s a word-for-word, line-by-line write up of exactly what to say when you’re teaching. Now, you might be thinking that that’s ‘cheating’ or that that’s not a helpful way to start your teaching path. I can understand having a different perspective on it… here’s why I find a yoga script to be helpful, and how I suggest using it.

Remember this is a tool to get you from point A to point B. You won’t rely on the script forever, but it does give you solid information to fall back on.
Be open to new ideas. Let the yoga script inspire you to think of something innovative and fun. Sometimes having a structure to operate within helps us feel safe to get more creative and explore what works and doesn’t work.
Using the script can help boost your confidence so that you aren’t fumbling for your words. This is a good thing. Be kind to yourself in the process!
Understand that you don’t have to say exactly what’s in the script. It’s meant to be a helpful starting place that you can build from.

How to Use a Yoga Script

Read the script out loud.
Repeat the sections that you tend to struggle with.
Focus on transitions as well as cues for individual poses.
Write down what’s in the yoga script in your own notes, to help memorize.
Have someone else read the script to you so you can hear it.
Read the script out loud while practicing and doing the poses and sequences.
Try new things.
Be open minded.
Give yourself permission to try something you aren’t sure about. Release the idea of failure and lovingly accept that every part of the process is useful and worthwhile.

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
