Four lessons I learned from experience

1. After your teacher training, study somewhere else.

It doesn’t have to be another full course — even something short will do. The point is to give the mic to other teachers. One course can put blinders on you, and the sooner you take them off, the better.

2. The joy of teaching depends on your personal practice.

You’ll feel full — and able to share that fullness — only when you’re practicing. Without practice, even the most “correct” things sound like drops echoing in an empty well. What isn’t lived or felt, can’t really be understood.

3. People choose a teacher whose presence feels good.

Sequencing, muscle-targeting, spotting priorities — all of that is essential, yes. It’s your solid base. But that’s just the what. What truly matters is the how: how you guide people through a small journey during those 60–90 minutes. That’s what they feel.

4. Thank yourself for the work you do.

Not for how many students came. Not for money. Not even for success.
Don’t start believing you’re “the best” just because someone says so — why build more illusions?
Thank yourself simply for showing up and leading the class.
