Between us, we’ve spent more than 30 years teaching yoga, running studios, and training hundreds of yoga teachers. And we remember exactly what those early days felt like.

We created this guide because we’ve seen the same five challenges come up again and again for new teachers. When you understand them early, everything gets easier.
