Yoga Teachers, the new mean girls #yogateacher
In this motivational monologue, the speaker candidly critiques the yoga community, admitting personal difficulty getting along with many yoga teachers and highlighting that kindness is not guaranteed among instructors. They apologize to anyone who has experienced rudeness from yoga teachers and emphasize that being kind and teaching yoga are separate qualities. The speaker then urges listeners to become the change they wish to see in yoga spaces. Addressing common insecurities—such as feeling too heavy, not flexible enough, or not fitting the stereotypical image of a yoga teacher—they encourage aspiring teachers to discard self‑doubt, pursue their teaching dreams, and live authentically, reminding the audience that life is short and regrets stem from not following one’s passion.
