7 Types Of Yoga Teachers And The Beliefs Holding You Back (EP.403)

Episode Description

Have you ever felt like you should be more confident teaching by now… but you’re not?

In this episode, I’m breaking down 7 common “teacher types” I see all the time when working with yoga teachers—and the underlying beliefs that keep them stuck.

As you listen, you might recognize yourself in one (or more) of these patterns. And more importantly, you’ll start to see how the way you’re thinking about your teaching might actually be holding you back.

This isn’t about labeling yourself—it’s about building awareness so you can start to shift.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

• Why confidence struggles often have more to do with mindset than experience
• The 7 common “teacher types” that can keep you stuck
• The hidden beliefs driving behaviors like over-preparing, second-guessing, and waiting to feel ready
• Simple shifts you can make to start building real confidence in your teaching
• Why repetition and structure are key to improving your cueing and sequencing

The 7 Teacher Types:

• The Worrier
• The Over-Preparer
• The Permission Believer
• The Cues Wonder-er
• The Practice-With-Me Teacher
• The Imposter
• The Watcher and Wait-er
