Keeping Cool in Class - Tips for Movement Teachers

Are you a passionate dance or yoga instructor who has found themselves in a challenging situation during class, leaving you wondering, "Oh God, what the heck do I do?" Have you ever been unexpectedly put on the spot and felt uncertain about how to navigate the situation?

In light of recent discussions surrounding 'difficult' students, I believe it's time to shift the narrative. Too often, such labels create unnecessary barriers between teachers and students, implying intentional defiance when that may not be the case at all.

This recorded series of workshops aims to address this gap in traditional teaching certifications. While mastering the art of breaking down and teaching moves is crucial, there's often little emphasis on essential skills such as effectively managing a class, establishing personal boundaries, and adeptly handling conflicts. These workshops discuss the following (and other!) specific issues in depth, using a trauma-informed lens to discuss potential origins and resolutions for these issues.

- a student/s who has issues with personal boundaries

- a student/s who wants to bring kids/friends/family to class

- a student/s who is overly confident

-bringing friends/family/kids along to class

- dealing with boundary issues

- students with a lack of self-awareness

Join us for an insightful series that goes beyond the routine certifications, equipping you with the tools to not only teach movements but also foster a positive and inclusive class environment. Let's reshape the way we approach teaching and create stronger connections with our students.

Don't miss out on this valuable opportunity to enhance your teaching skills!

I've also included my workshop on dealing with Teacher Burnout as a free extra - learn what burnout actually is, how it can affect us as movement teachers, and how to set boundaries to prevent it happening. We will also discuss how to identify warning signs, what we can do to help stop it getting worse, and how to manage if we are currently in a burnout state.

Don't let burnout destroy your love of dance, movement, or teaching! Learn some valuable ways to look after yourself so you can keep delivering high-quality classes and inspiring your students.
