Teaching Yoga As A Mature Teacher
by Kirsty Darroch on Feb 9, 2023 4:12:26 PM
There's no reason to stop teaching yoga just because you're getting older! With the right mindset and approach, you can continue to thrive in this profession and make a lasting impact on the lives of others.
First and foremost, it's essential to prioritise your health and well-being. Just like in life, it all starts with self-care. Make sure to incorporate gentle yoga practices into your daily routine, and take the time to stretch and keep your body flexible and limber. And don't be afraid to use props, like blocks and straps, to help you feel more comfortable in your practice.
Next, let's talk about staying current. The field of yoga is constantly evolving, and it's essential to stay informed about new techniques and teachings. I encourage you to attend workshops and conferences and be open to incorporating new ideas and approaches into your classes. Your experience and wisdom can be valuable assets to your students, but don't be afraid to learn from those coming up behind you.
Now, let's focus on what you do best. As a seasoned teacher, you have a wealth of knowledge and experience to draw from. Embrace your strengths, such as your deep understanding of anatomy and alignment, and use this knowledge to create safe, effective, and enjoyable classes for your students. Lead by example and show them what it means to age gracefully and continue to lead an active and fulfilling life through your commitment to your practice and well-being.
Teaching yoga as a mature teacher can be a wonderful and fulfilling experience. With the right mindset and approach, you can continue to inspire and make a positive impact in the lives of your students for many years to come. So, go ahead, take care of yourself and keep doing what you love. The world needs more yoga teachers like you!
