Michael Miracles is back with 3 more tips for new yoga teachers! This time, he’s got some hot takes on what NOT to do. Avoiding these mistakes can make your classes more enjoyable by allowing your students to better trust you in the moment.. Don’t practice and teach at the same time.. When you do that, you’re limited your ability to teach. You’re limiting your ability to practice yoga.. Focus in on the teaching, when you’re actually teaching and find some other time in the day to practice.. When you’re on your mat and doing the poses, you might be able to peripherally catch some of the students in your eyes, but you can’t see the whole class at the same time.. When you’re teaching from your mat, you’re teaching from a past experience.. The students will actually appreciate the extra attention, whether it’s consciously registered in their minds or not it’s felt.. When you’re truly watching and speaking from what you watch, it has an impact on the students.. Keep it simple.. Don’t worry about coming up with fancy sequences and transitions.. Use a sequence that’s tried and true, that’s effective, but it’s not too complicated.. And get to know that sequence really well.. When you just planned out a complicated series of poses, strung together and you’re not really sure how they work with the breathing it really affects the class.. It feels disjointed and it creates confusion in the mind of the student and that’s really what we’re trying to minimize.. Even if it’s on a subconscious level, it breaks your authority. The student doesn’t end up trusting you as much as a teacher.. Trust is really important.. When a student can drop that barrier of “Oh does this person know what they’re talking about?” They can get more into what they’re doing, more into the moment, and more into a meditative state.. This might be a little bit hard to take, but don’t play music in your classes.. The music is a distraction.. For me, I love music, so if you’re playing a song I’ve known before, I’ll be thinking about what year it came out or who are the band members or if I’ve ever seen them live.. Another one is, songs have a lot of emotional impact. You just never know if a student could;ve broken up to the song that you’re playing. That song could’ve been playing during a traumatic incident in their lives.. The other thing that music does, is it completely washes out these moments of silence.. Silence is golden. Silence is so important. And silence is so rare now a days. There’s peace in silence.. It’s hard to meditate to Drake.. Connect with me on social media!

This past week we spent three days filming the first 6 of 14 classes of a Yoga for Perfectionism series for the Yoga with Melissa channel. This is something that is called batch filming in the industry. We thought we would take you behind the scenes and show you what is involved in filming hatha yoga classes, yin yoga classes and restorative yoga classes for our Yoga with Melissa channel, from coming up with the idea for a series all the way to publishing the one hour yoga video for you on YouTube.. So many of you ask how I come up with my ideas for yoga videos or yoga series. Mostly I am listening to you and your experience of yoga practice as well as my own inspiration from my own yoga and meditation practice. In this particular case, one of my students Kirsti mentioned something about perfectionism. She may have even requested a class on perfectionism and it lit something up inside of me and I decided to create a series on perfectionism.. Next I comes the research phase which begins by seeking out resources. I usually start on amazon and also my local library. For this series I settled on Pavel Somov’s book Present Perfect. It is unusual for me to settle on one book, usually I am drawing from multiple resources. I take notes and from the notes usually some sort of a class outline reveals itself. Also during this research phase I am reading lots of poetry books and gathering poetry for yoga classes.. Then comes the class planning phase. I look at the class outline and decide what kind of class would align with the class themes. While many of you love the yin and restorative yoga classes, I have had some questions about why I don’t teach more hatha yoga classes. The answer is balance, for both myself and you. It is not healthy to have all yang classes, for you or for me. So I make sure to have a balance of yin and yang classes. This is particularly important for me when I am filming, but also for the arch of teaching the course as well. If I am always hammering out yang classes, then you are going to burn out. You will never have a chance to draw the sweet energy of yin into your system.. Once I have written the classes, there is a lot of technical writing that has to happen for YouTube, our website, and social media. The time spent researching and writing a series probably takes about a month. Honestly the actual filming of the class is the smallest portion of time, although it can take 2-3 hours to film a one hour class.. In the video you will see is transforming our apartment from our home to a film studio by setting up lighting and sound. There are also other things to consider like hair, makeup and outfits. All these things take time and energy. In fact, I have a pile of clothes on a chair in my bedroom that would be considered this week’s wardrobe waiting to be put away!. After the filming, everything gets handed over to Tim. Tim is in charge of editing the videos, rendering them and uploading them to YouTube. Tim also looks after the comments section on YouTube. As much time as I spend preparing the series, Tim spends on each episode after it has been filmed.. It is an enormous effort to produce a one hour yoga show each week. This is why we batch film several in one week. Putting out that effort all at once, allows us to focus on our members and membership community the rest of the time.. It is an honour for both Tim and I to be able to do work that we love and serve you all in this way. Thank you for allowing us to live this life.. If you have any questions about the process, feel free to leave us a comment in the comment section.. Namaste, Melissa and Tim. #perfectionism #hathayoga #yogawithmelissa

Everything about this yoga class was different from any other type of exercise I’d done: the heated room that smelled of incense and sweat, the quiet (no music was played in classes then), the focus on breath, the rigor of each pose.
At the same time, those who had never done yoga before find it too uneasy and confusing having to repeat and learn the sequence of movements relying only on the audios and on the drawings distributed by the instructors.
