102. Yoga Teacher Self-Care Lecture with Judith Hanson Lasater and Lizzie Lasater Part 1 + 2

In this episode of Office Hours we cover Part 1 + 2 of Yoga Teacher Self-Care. Part 1 is a lecture with Judith Hanson Lasater, and part 2 is a practice taught by Lizzie Lasater.

Here are the key points::

1. Self-Care: Build buffer time in before and after you teach, adopt a uniform, and practice poses like Bridge and Legs Up the Wall.
2. Beliefs: Self-reflection is key! Judith warns against perfectionism and using students for validation.
3. Boundaries: Teachers should set clear boundaries, focusing on student relationships rather than overextending themselves.
4. Balance: Prioritize personal practice, incorporate restorative poses, and remain a humble student of yoga.
5. Growth: Trust intuition, embrace continual learning, and approach teaching with humility and courage.

Taught by Judith Hanson Lasater, PhD, PT. Hosted by Lizzie Lasater.
