Student for life! Love to learn! So I am nearly finished with my 200 hours and this is exactly what I’m going through. Literally everything you shared! I deeply love the spiritual aspects, anatomy and philopsophy of yoga, and the movement and breath connection but teaching makes me sooo nervous and uncomfortable. I’m also pretty shy alot of times so its a double whammy. I know I need to just practice teaching more but I even get nervous trying to teach people I know and think how am I going to teach complete strangers lol. I totally freeze up or struggle with articulating the poses I can see so clearly in my mind and my voice gets shaky. I have 3 practice teachings to do before they can give me my cert and I honestly wish I didn’t have to do this final part. Ah. Trying to find my voice with it is so hard. But you are so right, I am feeling this way because it is sooo important to me. I loved your tips and advice about this though it really helps, I will certainly try my best to just get out of my comfort zone and just get myself out there. Thank you. 🙏
girl you are not alone in these feelings!!! so know that all teachers experience this in the beginning.. it just takes practice!! believe in yourself, you've totally got this! Let me know how it goes!!!! 😘
This is one of my favourite videos on your channel, thank you so much for these tips Shayla. I adore yoga and would be honoured to have you as my yoga teacher. I totally agree with your points about staying a student, not being too hard on yourself and using the correct music🙏🤍✨️!
Hey Shayla, this is so interesting. I have just taken my anatomy exam. Theory in two weeks. Practical September. So nearly there. I hear all that you are saying. During Covid times I took the leap of teaching zoom classes to everyone. As I was at home a lot I used the time to study, teach and practice. I feel that this has really helped develop my teaching, practice, confidence...plus develop my voice. I now realise that I can only teach honestly and comfortably by just doing me....being real. I also realise that I might not be everyone's cup of tea....however I will find my tribe...so to speak. I am fine with that. Your right about the script thing. I have written loads, but find myself deviating from script quite often. I guess there, there to hold your hand at the start. I believe that where yoga is concerned you have to keep learning and practicing. I like the idea about the play list. I was thinking of creating a play list just instrumental. I wonder if voices/ singing might be distracting. Thank you xxx
Love all of that! you're doing great!! I think as far as music goes it's your preference! I have a whole video on making playlists you should check out!! Wishing you nothing but the best on your journey and YES keep learning, growing, practicing and doing YOU!!! 💗💗💗
Thank you! Great advice. I finished my 200 hour yoga teacher training in April. I teach my first yoga class in a week. I've been stressing about it, but your advice has been very helpful. I don't need to be perfect. I just need to "swallow my fear" and start teaching.♥️🙏 Namaste
@@ShaylaQuinn Thank you! The class went okay. I enjoyed it and got positive feedback. I'm not as nervous about the next class. It was good to take the first leap ♥️🙏
Such Great advise! I love your videos. I am a new teacher. And I’m SO nervous to teach. I’m just trying to let the fear go & get out there and try to teach wherever I can.
I loved this video!! Thank you!🌸💛 you motivated me a lot. I want to be a yoga teacher, this is one of my dreams. And sometimes i feel about my dreams that, you know the dreams are just dreams.... but you give me now so much energy and faith. Altough i will start study in a yoga college i’m afraid about my future, but you really helped me a lot now. Thank you again!!🌸 have a nice day!🌸
Hi, I personally love your tips and appreciate your encouragement and support! Recently started my teaching my yoga class and can’t figure out music playlist I’m a bit worried about phone calls and messages 🙂
Thank you so much! I’m so glad that you find my Tips helpful! As far as phone calls coming through while you’re using your phone for music definitely put your phone on do not disturb and airplane mode that should do the trick!
Hi Shayla! I recently found your channel and have really been enjoying your videos - I did your slow flow this morning and loved it. Would you consider doing a Q&A about your YTTs? I'd like to get mine someday but I'm wondering if it's better to stay local vs. retreat, how long you should be practicing before you start your first YTT, and just your experiences, etc. Thanks for keeping me entertained at this difficult time 💕
Hi love!! So happy you loved the slow flow! I have some other videos on my yoga teacher training in Bali that might answer some questions but I can totally do a dedicated Q+A video on YTT! Do you follow me on IG? I'll put a question box up on my instagram story now (that way I can keep all the questions in one place!) and gather questions! Go there and ask away! My IG handle is @shaylaquinn 💕
You're last tip really get me, I been giving yoga classes for almost seven years and im in this moment where I don't want to give more yoga classes I need a space, I have my meditation practice but my asana practice its almost gone.. I don't want to be resentful Into this wonderful practice but im feeling like that, angry and resentfull. I really want to share my passion but I also want to find the balance between giving and practice. I need some other income to don't give all this heavy emotion into my classes. I just want to shared that . thankssss wonderful channel love your vibes
You are very sweet.Thank you. Can you give some samples of your playlist. Like what you said warm up , peak poses then cool down. I just download my yoga playlist from Apple Music.
Thank you for this, Shayla! I graduated my ytt the week before thanksgiving and I felt just like you. I felt like I had no idea what I was doing, even though I have all of the knowledge to teach. I felt lost and sad. My local studio is being renovated and planning to open April 1st, so my very first class is supposed to be the 2nd. Nervous? Oh man I’m so scared. I’m trying to keep sequences easy. Like eaaaaasy. But I get bored and then I think everyone else is going to be bored. I also think starting and closing the classes are scary. I have so many things I think I want to say and then when I’m practicing at home, I lose everything to a blank mind. Ummmmmmm. Yeah. 😹😹 Anyway, I KNOW I have to stop doubting myself and just get out there, get that first month of one class a week behind me and I’ll be ok.
Thank! You! For ! This! Video! I started taking my home practice to a studio and talked Bout subbing for her before I got certified but then covid hit and all the studios shut down I got my certificatio. But now I'm like ah what do I do and this video has made me feel alot better
I got my 200 hour 2 months ago and I freak out still thinking about just giving myself “more time”. Lol I was even thinking of just getting 1000 hours first. 😅 thank you. I’m just gonna go for it.
@@ShaylaQuinn going well, i really enjoy having it online since the world is kind of shaky... nice to be able to meet with people a few times a week online esp because im bored cooped up in the house!
Hey hope you have continued. I have nearly completed mine, last couple of exams. Just take your time and believe in yourself. I felt the same. But practice and keep learning. Practice on family and friends to help find your voice. Just be you. X

Love this!! How long were you practicing yoga before you decided to start your first YTT?
Thank you Ashley, so glad you loved it! I started practicing in 2008 and did my first YTT in 2014, second one in 2015 and third one in 2019 😊
thanks. :) so do you change your music from your watch?
Yes if I need to, I do! But I usually create my playlists specifically so there is no need for me to change the music while I'm teaching :)
Thank! You! For ! This! Video! I started taking my home practice to a studio and talked Bout subbing for her before I got certified but then covid hit and all the studios shut down I got my certificatio. But now I'm like ah what do I do and this video has made me feel alot better

YOU CAN DO THIS! I believe in you!!!! Time for you to believe in yourself!!!! You totally got this!! ❤️
Hey hope you have continued. I have nearly completed mine, last couple of exams. Just take your time and believe in yourself. I felt the same. But practice and keep learning. Practice on family and friends to help find your voice. Just be you. X
