Let’s face it, ‘there is nothing new under the sun’, so we are unlikely to be completely unique and different in our teaching style - and nor do we need to be. What we do need to be is authentically ourselves and not trying to live up to an idea or an ideal. Sometimes yoga teachers adopt sing-songy and hypnotic voices, which do not allow their personalities to shine through.
My recommendation for newer teachers is to develop a good teaching style based on what you personally like about your favourite teachers.

Pick up clear and precise cuing from other good instructors.
