Sustainability & Self-Care for Yoga Teachers
with Norman BlairAn invaluable day to step out of holding space for others, and place your own care centre stage.
Overview
Refill your Own Cup
Teaching yoga can be deeply rewarding, but it has its own set of challenges. Much of the work happens alone – the planning, the marketing, the travel, the admin – long before a single class begins. Burnout is common. As with any care-giving profession, learning to hold space for ourselves is as important as learning to hold it for others.
This course offers a full day where self-care and self-compassion take centre stage, with practical ways to weave them into scheduling, finances, the inner critic, and the connections and communities that sustain a teaching life.
Self-care here isn't about reseting on bolsters and soaking in a bubble bath (as lovely as these can be). It can be a courageous commitment to making sure your own needs aren't sidelined by the needs of others, through small, impactful changes that don't need to cost a thing. After all, as the saying goes... you can't pour from an empty cup.
