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

182: Tailoring A Yoga Practice for Private Lessons UPDATED

There is no cookie-cutter approach to private yoga teaching.

The most effective private teachers learn to listen carefully, think critically, stay curious, and trust their ability to adapt. Private teaching is not about giving someone a customized version of a group class. It's about creating a collaborative practice that responds to who they are, what they need, and where they are right now.
