This week we dive deep into the art and science of pedagogy in yoga teaching with Sage Rountree. Sage shares her rich experience in transitioning from an academic teaching background to yoga instruction and the lessons learned along the way.

We discuss:

• The importance of repetition, clear queuing, and balancing structure with flexibility in class planning.
• Frameworks such as the 6-4-2 method and the SERVE method to help teachers design balanced and effective classes.
• The integration of exercise physiology principles and the role of varied yet intentional practice to enhance both teaching and learning experiences.
• And so much more!

Whether you're a new or seasoned yoga teacher, you'll find valuable insights and practical tips to elevate your teaching practice.

Referenced Paper:

*Ok so a few corrections from the episode. The paper I was referencing was the Framingham Heart Study by Christakis & Fowler. It ran from 1983 to 2003 and followed 4739 individuals. They found that happiness clusters in networks and that the association between one person's happiness and others' happiness reaches up to three degrees of separation (friends, friends-of-friends, and friends-of-friends-of-friends). They also report concrete effect sizes (e.g., a nearby friend becoming happy increased a person's probability of being happy by ~25%), and that the effect decays with distance and time.
