How To Overcome Imposter Syndrome As A Yoga Teacher with Mado Hesselink

Imposter Syndrome is something that I have personally struggled with in the past, and chances are, if you’re listening to this, you have too. It’s not something that only came up once in my teaching career, however. Every time I stretched myself, started teaching a new style, or opened up a new offering, feelings of self doubt were present. Feeling like a fraud is so common among other yoga teachers, that Mado Hesselink has done the work to truly understand its roots and how to overcome it.
