The Don't Forget Yoga Podcast helps new yoga teachers absorb yogic wisdom with music, mantras, and mnemonics.
Are you a new yoga teacher working on building your following? If you're anything like I was, you're probably feeling a little overwhelmed at the amount of information you're expected to know. Anatomy, yoga philosophy, Sanskrit class themes, asana sequences, pranayama , and of course the names of all your students!
Host Derek Pashupa Goodwin is an advanced certified yoga teacher with over a decade of teaching experience. He has always struggled with memorization, which led him on a journey of creating mnemonic strategies to help him remember yogic wisdom. He is a musician who loves wordplay, and his songs and playful rhymes and humor are featured throughout the show.
Each week on the Don't Forget Yoga Podcast, you're going to learn a key principle of yoga philosophy, Sanskrit, anatomy, Hindu mythology, and other tools from the yoga teachers toolkit.
Some of these lessons will come from Derek and things that he learned on his way to becoming a seasoned yoga teacher.
The rest of the lessons will come from teachers who have accomplished way, way more than me, and have tricks and tips of their own to share.
Either way, with every episode of the Don't Forget Yoga Podcast, you're going to get something fun to think about, share with your students, and etch into your memory to help you grow as a teacher.
And the best part is that along the way, you're going to start to gain more confidence and wisdom as a teacher. You're going to find those students who want more than just a workout, and you're gonna keep them coming back for more.
You'll become your own unique version of the type of teacher that inspired you to become a yoga teacher.
If you're a yoga teacher who wants to overcome imposter syndrome, absorb yogic wisdom more easily, and become an inspiration to other yoga teachers; go ahead and subscribe to the Don't Forget Yoga Podcast right here in your listening app. And download your first episode today!
