This episode is exploring the answer, your individual answer, to the question: Should yoga teachers demo while teaching?

We’ll look at some reasons to demo, some reasons not to demo, and a few things to bear in mind overall.

Demoing, for many yoga teachers, takes a lot of the fear around teaching. Your body does the pose and that facilitates how you find the language to guide your yogis in to the pose. But, cultivating the skill to teach verbally only can be really really useful.

Enjoy!

Highlights:

• Why teaching yoga is like using a sat nav
• The times when demoing is going to really help you (and your yogis)
• When demoing is NOT useful
• Two important things to bear in mind when demoing
