About this episode

Karen Fabian discusses common distractions yoga teachers face and offers practical solutions to enhance teaching presence and confidence.

Do you ever feel distracted, scattered, or mentally overloaded while teaching yoga? Do you feel like you’re multi-tasking and it’s blocking you from feeling at ease, present and actually teaching the humans in the room? In this episode, I’m breaking down some of the most common distractions that pull yoga teachers out of presence while teaching—from over-focusing on beginners and constantly checking notes to worrying about timing, music, and what students think of the class. I also share practical solutions to help you feel calmer, more grounded, and more confident when you teach, including how using a Signature Sequence and my “Say the cue, see what they do” approach can completely change your teaching experience.
