How I prep for a new week as a yoga teacher : ✨dharma talk✨ edition!

Each week I prep my dharma talk I will be weaving into my classes for either the next week or sometimes a whole month 

-I start by letting this inspiration come to me. I will meditate, practice pranayama or take something I learned on my mat or saw here on social even and gain wisdom on this energy 

-After finding a theme / topic to discuss I will think about creative ways to connect that theme to postures metaphorically / energetically (ex I taught on the Nadis a few weeks ago specially the main 3 and sequenced many poses that had cross body movements to stimulate Ida and Pingula like knee to opposite tricep) 

-When it comes time to write out what I want to say I make sure to include enough information that can be easily shared throughout the entire class starting with opening information, one liners and a closing remark 

-I make sure to include my own opinions / thoughts and also incorporate philosophical references and the why behind the theme; why it is important to meditate on, how it is going to affect our body and mind 

Dharma talks have always been extremely important for my teachings because I feel called to share my purpose by helping others find theirs which I hope can be done through philosophy, poses, breath etc
