I really enjoy your insights so far! If I could make one note to you (as a former sound engineer), I'd recommend you fade your intro music out earlier, or start talking a little later. In particular, the vocals directly compete with what you are saying -- I'd recommend fading out before the vocals get too loud. It'll be easier for us to become engaged to what you're saying from the start that way. Please keep up the great videos!
Very helpful!! When I got started - I was using WAYY too many filler words. The action command tip is super helpful to cut out all the fluff! I also love the “feel into the pose” tip. I love when I hear these cues myself because it breaks up the monotony and helps me get aligned with the deeper side of yoga beyond the poses! 💙
Great tips on cues... Totally agree on a combination of clear instructions and reflective. Also what I am seeing in teaching is easing the students into simpler steps and building it up. It helps them trust the instructor
Thank you soooo much. You went into detailed point by point on how. My training didn't not cover this. I am sitting down with paper and pencil on cueing each pose. Verrrry helpful.
Such great advice. I have trouble when I am in a class as a student and I fixate on how many times I hear "we're gonna" or "let's". It's something I strive to fix on my own teaching. Even playing back my zoom and UA-cam videos I have started to find more corrections and improve.
Great breakdown of cue-ing! Also, love your hand movements across the screen; it's like I can see your thoughts physically manifest :) Thanks for sharing! -Sandy.
Sandy, you are so welcome!! I'm so happy you find it useful. I added a couple recent ones on cuing that you may also like - check out the Tips for Teachers playlist :)
Hi! Rachel, thank you very much to give me this video. At first, I am not good at in English( I have been learning English ) so I am watching this and next video again and again. I will do my best to teach yoga. Again thank you very very much!!!
Rachel, really thank you for your tips. I am tacking my yoga certification and i am about to get in the midterm and i feel stress about all the possible cues I have to give. This really help me. Please share any other tips. I am following you now
Thank you for this amazing video ! It’s actually great and very helpful. Can you please help me giving the name written of the teacher you mentioned at the begging? Kristen ? I couldn’t find her ! Thanks beautiful 🤩
Malexah Morob! It depends what kind of class you're teaching. If you're teaching a class with more advanced students, they will tend to stay focussed because feel confident in not looking at you. However if you were teaching to beginners, they likely need more physical demonstration. So if it is your advanced students, you can encourage them to feel their body and go inside in order to take the focus off of you. You can even ask them to close their eyes. However if it's beginners, then you simply may have to give more physical demonstrations in the class. I hope that helps! ❤️
Sorry this is so late in coming! In a nutshell: 1. cue to the body so they are focusing inwardly, 2. walk sensitively so that you are not directly in their eyeline, 3. resist eye contact. All that said, I totally make eye contact and walk in front of them all the time, but it creates a different vibe. One vibe nourishes introspection, while eye contact and being "visible" as a teacher creates more community/uplift/party vibe. Thanks :)
Akshaya Sivakumar That is OK! It takes a lot of time. In my experience, the teacher training just gives you the information but there’s not always the time to integrate and practice. So now as you begin to teach you will get to practice the things that you learned :-) be patient with yourself, teach from the heart, and you will be wonderful.

Hey Rob, yes, you're quite right. Audio was dreadful on this one. I actually had a room mic here, but the room was so bright that, well, you see what has happened. But, since people liked the video so much and it had so many views, I have left it up. The vast majority of my other videos have mics if this is content that interests you.
I just started a 200 hour teacher training and this is GOLD! Thank you! I was also watching the anatomy videos.
Awesome Casey! I'm so glad it's helpful ~ great to have you here!

Excellent, I'm glad it was helpful!
That was very good! I will really try to implement that when I have yoga with my friends.

Cuing is an art and can make or break a class. I’m always interested to hear what others have to say and how to phrase things.

@@RachelScottYoga thank you 🙏🏽
Amazing video! Thanks so much:) what tips can you give regarding keeping students active/focused in poses as the teacher walks around the room?
Malexah Morob! It depends what kind of class you're teaching. If you're teaching a class with more advanced students, they will tend to stay focussed because feel confident in not looking at you. However if you were teaching to beginners, they likely need more physical demonstration.

Akshaya Sivakumar I’m so glad!!
Hi...I recently done with my yttc in October!! I'm still not clear how to teach yoga to others!! 😔😔
