I loved this episode. I’m also a part-time yoga teacher and one of the very few male yoga teachers I know. (In fact, I’m the ONLY male yoga teacher at any of the studios where I teach!)

Fellow part-time yoga teacher here! I loved hearing the stories of part-time teachers and the ways that many are sharing the practice both in the studio as well as in their homes and other workplaces. It was inspiring to hear each person’s “why”.

Thank you so much for highlighting all of these incredible teachers. I definitely have moments when I don’t feel like a “real” teacher but this gave me a much needed perspective shift and even a little jolt pride to be in such great company.

Yay for a jolt of pride! Hold onto that feeling. Return to it often. Build those positive neural pathways. Thank you for listening and much love.

This episode was so inspiring! When I was a young mom, I taught group fitness for our local hospital. I loved hearing stories of how valuable these teachers are in their communities.

It’s definitely a goal of mine to someday take Jason’s 200 hour and dial back my full time fast paced,high pressure, finance job to part time so I can teach yoga in my own community.

Thanks, Amy! I'm glad it was inspiring; it was for me, too. Great to hear you're thinking about part-time teaching. It feels like community service at its finest.

I listened to this episode while driving last week and it was so encouraging and timely as I started my online YTT journey this week. Thank you soooo much for sharing these stories and insights!
