Why Yoga Teachers Should Think Like Educators: The Keys to Making Your Teaching Stick

Have you ever felt like your students aren’t fully absorbing what you’re teaching? Want to make your cues, sequences, and insights truly stick? On this episode, Jason reveals the top teaching strategies every yoga instructor should know to enhance student learning, improve retention, and create transformative class experiences.


Highlights:


✅ The difference between leading a class vs. teaching for deep learning.


✅ How repetition & thematic sequencing improve student retention.


✅ Why students learn best by doing, seeing, and experiencing—not just hearing.


✅ How A/B testing in yoga poses helps students find what works best for them.


✅ The role of cognitive load in student learning—and why less is more when cueing.


✅ The surprising power of storytelling to make your teaching unforgettable.


💡 Whether you're a new yoga teacher or an experienced instructor looking to improve your teaching impact, this episode will help you develop smarter, more effective strategies to ensure your students truly absorb and retain what you teach.
