Becoming isn’t easy.

It’ll push you to your edge and ask you to show up in ways you’ve never experienced before.

It’ll ask you to let go of who you thought you were to make room for who you actually are.

Dolly Parton said it perfectly:
“Find out who you are and do it on purpose.”

I believe yoga asks us to do exactly that.

Find yourself. Become yourself. Live it on purpose.

New yoga teachers, listen — I have something for you.

The truth is, I did not start with the perfect space, perfect sequence, perfect confidence, or perfect plan.

I just started.

I taught in parks, breweries, art studios, event spaces, living rooms, backyards — anywhere someone was willing to roll out a mat.

I taught my kids, friends, small groups, and classes in spaces that were beautiful, awkward, loud, messy, and completely imperfect.

And every single class taught me something.

There were nerves, hiccups and moments where I forgot my words.

There were times I wondered if I was doing it “right.”

But there was also joy, connection, growth, and so much love.

So here’s what I want every new yoga teacher to know:
You do not need everything to be perfect before you begin.

Begin where you are.

Teach what you know.

Let it be messy, human and teach you.

You will refine your yoga teacher voice as you go.
You will build confidence through repetition. You will understand teaching by teaching.

It will unfold.

The room does not need perfection.

It needs your presence, your care, and your courage to begin.

That is why I created the New Teacher Starter Packet — a practical support guide for new yoga teachers who want to feel more grounded, organized, and confident as they step into the room.

Inside, you’ll find checklists, reflection pages, emergency teaching reminders, cueing tips, and tools to help you trust what you already know.
Because you do not need to wait until you feel perfect.
You just need support as you begin.

The number one thing I hear from new yoga teachers is this:

“I finished my 200-hour training... but I still don’t feel confident enough to teach.”

If that sounds familiar, I want you to know you’re not alone.

Your 200-hour gave you a foundation and Confidence comes from learning how to apply what you already know.

That’s exactly why I choose to help aspiring and new yoga teachers become confident guides through The ShapeShifter Method™.

🎥 Every week I’ll be sharing practical teaching tips and real-world insights on my YouTube channel to help you grow your confidence and refine your teaching.

👉 Head to YouTube for this week’s video: (drops Wednesday)

“I Finished My 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training... Now What?”

12 years of teaching yoga.

New Yoga Teachers. Listen, I have something for you.

And the truth is, I did not start with the perfect space, the perfect sequence, the perfect confidence, or the perfect plan.

I just started.

I taught in local parks, breweries, art studios, event spaces, living rooms, backyards, and anywhere someone was willing to roll out a mat.

I taught my kids, friends, small groups, in spaces that were beautiful, awkward, loud, messy, and completely imperfect.

And every single class taught me something.

There were hiccups, nerves, moments I forgot my words.

There were times I questioned if I was doing it “right.”

But there was also so much joy, connection and love to be had!

That is what I want every new yoga teacher to know:

You do not need everything to be perfect before you begin. Begin where you are and teach what you know.

Let it be messy, let it be human, let it teach you.

Do not judge every moment, LEARN from it.

You will refine your voice as you go, you will find your rhythm through practice and become more confident through repetition.

You will understand teaching by teaching. It will unfold, trust the process.

So if you are a new yoga teacher waiting until you feel fully ready, this is your reminder:

Just start.

The room does not need perfection. It needs your presence, your willingness, your care, and your courage to begin.

And because I remember what it felt like to stand in that space between certification and confidence, I created the New Teacher Starter Packet.

It is a practical support guide for new yoga teachers who are ready to begin, but want something to help them feel more grounded, organized, and confident as they step into the room.

Inside, you’ll find checklists, reflection pages, emergency teaching reminders, cueing tricks, and tools to help you trust what you already know.

Because you do not need to wait until you feel perfect. You just need support as you begin.
