While there is no standard set in stone for what makes a great yoga teacher, there are certain qualities. Here are a few that new trainees should be mindful of.
Begin with a genuine passion, a love and enthusiasm for yoga, and the inspiration to heal and support others. A passionate yoga teacher will connect to their students’ heart in some way. Cul tivate and develop feelings of compassion, empathy and joy in order to connect and resonate with students on a deeper, more meaningful level.
A great teacher will have extensive knowledge and intelligence of the application of teaching yoga. This knowledge includes a thorough understanding of philosophy, anatomy, teaching methodology, alignment, ethics of teaching and safety during practice. That means a strong foundation in the principals and philosophies of teaching yoga as a therapy in a safe and efective manner with emphasis on alignment, functional anatomy, physiology, intelligent sequencing and yoga as a ther apy for speciic health issues.
I believe an efective yoga teacher has the ability and intuition, despite class size, to teach every student as an individual with support. A great yoga teacher will connect personally to make every student welcome, included and inspired, by taking the time to connect and listen to their students upon arrival to check in to see how the students feel, how they felt after the last practice and to give them an opportunity to express any health problems or injuries they may have brought to class in conidence.
