How do you navigate feedback that feels more like a personal attack than helpful guidance? In this candid and thought-provoking episode, I’m joined by Deirdre "Dee" Doyno, a yoga teacher living off-grid life in Panama, as we explore the realities of navigating criticism while staying true to our teaching styles. Together, we dive into the delicate balance of authenticity and growth, honoring yoga’s rich traditions while adapting to modern trends.
We’ll discuss the complexities within the yoga community, from the diversity of teaching styles to competitive dynamics among teachers. Discover how props, once resisted, have become invaluable in making yoga accessible, and reflect on the impact of evolving trends like shorter class durations and innovative practices such as laughter and shake meditations.
This conversation shines a light on fostering inclusivity, building a culture of openness, and embracing yoga’s deeper philosophical roots beyond physical postures. Whether you’re a teacher or a student, this episode will inspire you to connect the ancient with the contemporary, advocate for authenticity, and cultivate continuous growth within yourself and your community.
