Summary

In today's episode I share 3 things I wish I knew a decade ago when it came to teaching a beginner (or any student). You know I think every beginner student is extremely important because there are a lot of yoga teacher training programs that do not get this covered because most of them focus on teaching a student who already has some basic yoga knowledge.

Hi everyone, Arundati here and welcome to another episode of the Let's Talk Yoga podcast. I hope you are doing well.

As you know, November 7th, my annual teaching yoga to beginners course is launching. This is a course

0:12.2

built specifically for yoga teachers. I have taken a decade of my learning, my mistakes, the things I

0:18.8

have tried, the things I have learned and packed it into a 30-hour

0:22.4

course for you. So you don't end up taking 10 years and making all the mistakes that I did.

0:27.9

Now, while I say, while I call it a teaching yoga to beginners course, I believe teaching a beginner

0:33.3

student is extremely important because they can potentially be lifelong students of yours.

0:38.3

And you can, a lot of yoga teachers ask me, how do I create community?

0:41.6

So I shared the blueprint of what has worked with me at Aham Yoga.

1:04.3

Okay. So today the students you see at Aham Yoga, about 70% of them have been in our beginner

classes. Some of them are even teachers at the studio

1:11.6

today. So I'm sharing this blueprint in this course that starts on November 7th. So whether you

1:17.3

are an experienced yoga teacher or a brand new one, I believe there's a lot in there. A lot that

1:22.6

does not get covered in yoga teacher trainings because most of them focus on teaching how to teach a student who already

1:28.5

knows how to do some yoga. So I hope you will come on October 16th. I'm hosting a information

1:35.1

session. And depending on when you're listening to this podcast drop, you may have already missed it.
