Ep #123: Feedback and Reflection on Your Sequences with Alyssa Goldberg

In this episode, Alyssa Goldberg returns to talk about her journey as a new yoga teacher and why feedback and reflection are so important when planning yoga classes. She shares how she pays attention to how her students react and engage during class, using this information to improve her teaching. Alyssa discusses different ways teachers create yoga sequences, from planning everything in detail to going with the flow, and emphasizes the need to adjust sequences based on students' needs and preferences. While she values both consistency and creativity, Alyssa stresses the importance of getting feedback from students and other teachers to keep growing. She encourages new teachers to stay true to their own style while being open to suggestions for improvement. Alyssa also suggests continuing education to get better at creating yoga sequences, like attending workshops or finding a mentor.
