Summary
No matter how much you love yoga, eventually you’ll reach a point where you aren’t as inspired as you once were.
Today’s episode is all about finding inspiration for your practice again. It’s relevant for any yoga student, of course, but we also touch on the challenges specific to yoga teachers. We offer some advice for those times when your yoga practice is feeling a little less like an escape and more like, well, work.
We talk about:
- Why it’s important to challenge yourself at least once a week
- Different mediums for finding inspiration
- Why the advice to practice exactly what you teach (and only what you teach) is bad advice
- Simple reminders to keep you connected
- How to deal with plateaus

| 0:40.0 | But I think staying inspired in your yoga practice for teachers in a way is that much more challenging for two reasons. |
| 0:48.0 | Number one, because we put additional pressure on ourselves within the practice. |
| 0:54.0 | We have a certain amount of performance pressure and knowledge-based pressure because we are teachers of this discipline. |
| 1:02.0 | And that can produce some anxiety. |
