Two -day CPD training for yoga teachers and teachers in training with Norman Blair and Anna Taylor

While teaching yoga can be hugely rewarding, it also brings with it challenges that can feel draining. We often work alone, which can feel isolating. In addition to our direct teaching there are often many unpaid hours involved in marketing, planning, travel, and a range of other admin. Burn out is common.

As with any care-giving profession learning how to skilfully hold space for ourselves is as important as learning how to hold space for our students.  Doing so enables us to feel resourced and resilient as we ride the inevitable ups and downs of teaching. After all, as the saying goes “you can’t pour from an empty cup”.

This 2-day workshop offers you space to step out of the role of care-giver and shift focus to your own needs in care-receiving. We will place self-care and self-compassion centre stage, shining light on the barriers we face as well as exploring practical ways to weave it within our teaching including scheduling, finances, managing our inner critic, and the importance of creating supportive connections and communities. 

Each day will also include a restoring practice to nourish and nurture ourselves and remind us to practice what we feel so passionately about teaching. Participants will receive a manual and plenty of practical tips from Anna and Norman.

For the London venue, numbers are limited to ten and this small group experience can be a significant factor in supporting the process of learning. Training hours (14 in total) are eligible for Yoga Alliance continuing education (YACEP).
