Why Yoga Teachers Feel Insecure After Training / Part 1 The Problem (Podcast Episode 395)

Many yoga teachers complete their training expecting that confidence will naturally follow. But once they begin teaching, they often find themselves questioning their cues, second-guessing their sequences, or feeling confused about anatomy.
