Teacher Training Week 5: Halfway There!

Cori and the rest of our CPY Teacher Trainees are in week five of Teacher Training and they are halfway through! See what Cori has to say at this point in the training. 

You are now officially over halfway through Teacher Training. What is the most significant thing you have gained from the training thus far?

A new relationship with yoga! I feel like I have been reintroduced to my practice from a new perspective as I’ve gone through Teacher Training so far. 

What was the focus of this week’s class? How can you apply it to your everyday life?

This week we focused on adjustments and assists. It is so important to always be aware of your intention when entering someone’s space, both in and out of the yoga studio.  

What has challenged you this week?

Adjustments - I am just not totally confident or comfortable with this aspect of teaching, yet. I’m sure it will come with time, though!

What was your favorite moment this week?

On Saturday morning, we practice-taught the entire C1 sequence in pairs. While many mistakes were made and the timing was off, it felt awesome to teach the whole series from start to finish!

Where else do you hope to evolve as both a teacher and a student in the second half of the training?

I hope to simply become more confident as a teacher, and a student.
