Growth, Discernment & the Right Kind of Feedback
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of Yoga Insider, I'm sharing a personal reflection on how an unexpected disruption (getting caught in a flood!) became a powerful lesson on acceptance and community support.
I'm also exploring an essential topic for yoga teachers: How to collect feedback and testimonials in a way that genuinely supports your growth.
Drawing from 14 years of experience working as a yoga teacher, I'm sharing the following insights:
- Why collecting feedback should be part of your long-term strategy (especially if you're an independent yoga teacher).
- How to ask better questions in order to collect feedback intentionally.
- How to interpret feedback without letting it undermine your confidence.
- The difference between skill-based feedback and feedback rooted in personal preferences, and why not all feedback carries the same weight.
- Learn to identify meaningful patterns through feedback that may highlight your strengths and edges.
- How to ethically collect testimonials without bribery, prizes, or giveaways.
While we're on the topic of feedback... if you've been enjoying Yoga Insider and you find this free resource valuable, please consider leaving a review! This is a meaningful way to support my work. Thank you!
