150:  Daily, Weekly + Monthly Routines That Make Me The Teacher I Want To Be

Podcast
Written By Francesca Cervero

Being a yoga teacher, heck being a PERSON, is TOUGH right now. But having a job that requires presence and vulnerability and groundedness all the time requires we pour into ourselves so we have something to give. 

I LOVE hearing the behind-the-scenes details of people’s lives and routines. And I’m so happy to say that after a pretty stressful few years, I have my self-care routines DIALED IN right now! In today’s episode of the podcast, I am sharing the daily, weekly + monthly routines that make me the teacher I want to be.

It might sound kind of silly, but I treat being a full-time yoga teacher and parent as a high-performance job, and it is WORKING for me! 

In this episode you’ll hear:

  • what I do every month (and day)  to keep me connected to my spiritual practice

  • how I care for my body with weekly routines

  • the ten things I prioritize every day to keep my nervous system healthy

156: Why and How to Find Virtual Private Yoga Clients

I started teaching one private yoga client virtually in 2019 when she left Washington, DC for California. But other than her I had absolutely NO experience teaching online when everything changed on March 13th, 2020.

I made really quick work of getting all my in-person private students on board to pivot to virtual private lessons and by Monday March 16th I had everyone set up for the virtual lessons in their normal standing scheduled spot. I did not miss a single day of work, or single private lesson in that transition and that is something I am really proud of.

Today on the podcast, I’m making the case for virtual private lessons!

I’ve been teaching yoga full time for 20 years, and most of that time I taught at least 15 private yoga sessions each week; for a decade that number was closer to 25 per week!

I have a lot of experience in teaching private sessions! And when you’ve been doing something that often for that long, you start to develop some specific opinions... or, I certainly did!

Today we are diving into some unexpected hot takes about teaching private clients!
