What's even more important than understanding the poses... is the way you present it.
Ever wondered how some yoga teachers seem to effortlessly command the room? In this episode of The Asana Academy Podcast, Brian Aganad dives into the art of developing a powerful classroom presence. Whether you're a newbie or a seasoned instructor, Brian's insights will help you elevate your teaching game. Brian breaks down the concept of 'presence' into four key elements: projection, pacing, personality, and silence. These aren't just buzzwords; they're actionable strategies that can transform your teaching style.
You'll learn how to project your voice so every student can hear you clearly, pace your class to maintain engagement, infuse your personality to create a unique teaching style, and use silence effectively to create a calming atmosphere. But that's not all. Brian also emphasizes the importance of preparation and script-writing. He shares practical tips on how to prepare for your classes, stressing that the more time you spend planning, the smoother your class will go.
Imagine walking into a room full of students and feeling completely confident because you've got everything mapped out. You'll also hear about some common mistakes new teachers make and how to avoid them. From voice projection exercises to pacing techniques, Brian covers it all. Plus, he shares a 'scary' teaching exercise he uses on the first day of training to help new teachers get comfortable with their presence.
This episode isn't just about technical skills; it's about building confidence and becoming a more effective teacher. Brian's advice is grounded in real-world experience, making it relatable and easy to implement. So if you're ready to take your yoga teaching to the next level, don't miss this episode of The Asana Academy Podcast.
