The Language of Teaching Yoga
Sunday, September 3, 2023
In Person at The Lotus Pond Center in Tampa, FL
12:00 - 3:00PM
Open to all Yoga Teachers & YTTs: 3 Yoga Alliance Credit Hours
As a yoga teacher, one of the most powerful tools you have is your voice.
Could you use some fresh language to enliven your teaching?
Are you tired of using the same phrases to guide your students?
How can you weave imagery, stories, and poetics without sounding inauthentic to your own voice?
There’s a style and tone that’s authentic to each individual teacher, but there are also techniques to make your language more compelling while still being true to yourself.
In this workshop, you will learn:
✨ Easy ways to make your language clear and your cues crisp
✨ Language & Consciousness: Which words don't register in your subconscious mind (and are therefore ineffective)
✨ How to use language that creates a supportive, inclusive atmosphere and induces a positive state of mind
✨ The power of metaphor and imagery in teaching asana, pranayama, and meditation
Melissa Carroll, E-RYT200, RYT 500, is a writer, yoga teacher, and former creative writing professor at University of Tampa. She is in love with language and how it shapes our experience. Melissa is the editor of the essay collection Going OM: Real-Life Stories on and off the Yoga Mat, and is the author of two poetry chapbooks: The Karma Machine and The Pretty Machine.
