Found this clip from a few years ago ... Do you enjoy teaching in a gym setting?

Hi! After a seed-planting, thought-provoking conversation with a precious member of a networking group I'm in, I've decided to run with it. I first had the idea sometime over lock down and just couldn't work out a fair way to run it. Now, we can and I'd love for some of you to be involved. We're opening applications for Resident Teachers inside an online yoga practice studio. This will be a small, intentional team of teachers who honour the essence of yoga; teachers who value practice over performance, breath over aesthetics, and people over poses. This Studio is rooted in the principle taught through Krishnamacharya’s lineage, where yoga must be adapted for the individual. It doesn't matter if you're not trained in his lineage as we want a balanced offering, as long as the ethos aligns. Who we're looking for: - Teachers who adapt yoga for the body and the person in front of them - Teachers who understand (or want to learn) a breath-led, functional approach - Teachers who honour different life stages, bodies, abilities, cultures and faiths - Teachers who are team players, collaborators, and community builders - Teachers willing to invite and refer students into the Studio - Teachers who want to help shape a meaningful online home for practice What Resident Teachers do: - Teach live classes inside the Studio - Engage in community discussions - Model inclusivity, integrity, and compassion - Support the growth of the platform (referrals, shares, engagement) If this sounds like you, or someone you know, drop me a message. Spaces are limited to maintain depth, quality, and the heart of the community.

Hello, and welcome to a new chapter of this community. Whether you’ve been here for a while or you’re joining us today, I’m so glad you’re here.

More recently, I've been streamlining and restructuring, including reshaping this space into something clearer, more intentional, and more supportive for the year ahead. >>> https://theyogateachers.club/ Today, on December 1st, the Yoga Teachers Club officially opens its three new tiers: https://theyogateachers.club/membership 🌱 OPEN ACCESS (Free Tier) For teachers who want to stay connected and inspired, so you'll continue to receive: - Monthly Letter to Teachers - Open discussions - Occasional resources and guidance - A grounded place to reflect, learn, and belong You’re already in, and you’re staying in.

I wanted to open up a conversation this evening … After a recent class, a student said, “I love coming here! I feel nourished after each class.” A simple comment that opened up a much bigger reflection. In today’s yoga landscape, there’s a quiet shift happening. Studios, teachers, and students are navigating two different modes: Are we Yoga Teachers… or Yoga Service Providers? Yoga Students… or Yoga Consumers? There’s no judgment here. Both have value. Both exist. But they create very different experiences for us and our students. It’s a bit like the difference between restaurant experiences of being served, held, nourished and cooking lessons where there is learning, exploring, being shaped. One isn’t better. But they’re not the same. In your own practice and teaching: - When do you feel like a teacher… and when do you feel like a service provider? - Do your students show up as learners… or consumers? - How does this shape the way you plan, teach, and hold space? And maybe the deeper question of what do you want to cultivate in your teaching going forward? I’d love to hear your reflections below. No right or wrong answers. Just honest sharing from your own experience.

Dear Teacher, There’s a quiet pressure in our industry to constantly refine: better cues, better playlists, better transitions. But here’s the truth I’ve learned through thousands of classes: Your presence will change a room long before your sequencing does. Students remember how you made them feel, not what shapes they created. They return because of your steadiness, not your symmetry. They trust you because your teaching feels lived, not memorised. This month, try softening your internal checklist. Teach from the inside out. Ask yourself before class: How do I want my students to feel at the end of this hour? Then let every cue, every breath count, every silence support that intention. You don’t need to be impressive; just present. Holding space with you, Ann-See xo
