How To Have Conversations With Students About Injuries (EP.414)
One of the questions that creates the anxiety for yoga teachers is what to do when a student tells you they're injured. Maybe you've asked before class: "Does anyone have any injuries?" If you have, you're definitely not alone. The challenge is that when someone raises their hand, you suddenly have just a few seconds to understand what's going on and decide what to tell them—all while the rest of the class is waiting. That's a lot of pressure. In this week's podcast episode, I share a different approach. First, I walk through some of the most common injuries you're likely to hear about so those terms start to feel more familiar. Then I show you how to shift the conversation away from trying to diagnose an injury and toward something that's much more useful as a yoga teacher: "How does your injury affect your movement?" That simple question changes the conversation. Instead of feeling like you have to know everything about injuries, you can focus on what you do know—movement. As you listen, notice if there are terms that sound unfamiliar or concepts that make you realize, "I never really learned this." If that happens, don't be discouraged. It's one of the biggest anatomy learning gaps I see in yoga teachers, and it's exactly why so many teachers feel unsure of themselves when these conversations come up. I mention how I can help you if learning more about this is important to you: https://barebonesyoga.thinkific.com/courses/Yoga-Anatomy-Accelerator https://barebonesyoga.thinkific.com/courses/blueprint-learning-program I'd love to know what stands out to you after you listen so drop me a DM and let me know.

How To Build A Signature Sequence You Can Trust (EP.413)
In this episode, I'm sharing the audio from a live workshop I taught on July 16, 2026 on one of my favorite topics: How to Build a Signature Sequence You Can Trust. If you've ever felt like you need to create a brand new sequence every week or wondered how to build a sequence you can confidently teach without relying on notes, this workshop is for you. I walk through the process you can use to create a Signature Sequence, share how using a Signature Sequence can help you trust what you’re offering and even be able to teach without notes and by walking around, watching your students. Whether you're a new yoga teacher or simply looking to feel more confident teaching your classes, this workshop will not only give you some new things to experiment with in your classes to help you feel more confident, it’ll gently challenge some of the beliefs you have that you might not even realize are holding you back from truly feeling confident when you teach. If you'd like access to the full workshop replay with the video, just send me a DM or email at karen@barebonesyoga.com

Yoga Pose Transitions To Try In Your Next Class (EP.412)
Looking for a simple way to make your yoga classes feel fresh without creating a brand-new sequence every week? In this episode, I share 6 different transitions (linking poses together) that you can begin incorporating into your classes, along with the cueing and anatomy considerations that make each one effective. From Warrior I to Warrior II and Side Angle to Half Moon to Reclined Hand-to-Big-Toe Pose into a Supine Twist, you'll learn how thoughtful transitions can create a different experience for your students while allowing you to build confidence with a sequence you already know. I also share why making small, intentional changes to a Signature Sequence is a great way to change your Signature Sequence a little bit but not so much that you can’t remember what comes next. At the end, I speak to a specific kind of yoga teacher; one who’s ready to step forward and feel more confident teaching.

Meet Yoga Teacher Lauren Ilacqua (EP.411)
In this episode, I sit down with yoga teacher Lauren Ilacqua to talk about an incredible shift she's experienced over the past few months. After hearing her describe how she went from feeling pressure, dread, and uncertainty before teaching to feeling joyful, present, and deeply connected with the students in her class, I knew I wanted to invite her on the podcast to share it with you In this authentic and honest conversation, Lauren shares the fears she faced early on, what changed along the way, and the specific steps she took and mindset shifts she leveraged that helped her begin trusting herself as a teacher. Along the way, Lauren shares what it felt like to teach from a place of confidence rather than pressure and expectation, and how that transformation has changed her experience in her classes. If you've ever wondered whether you'll feel "ready" to teach or questioned whether you know enough, I think you'll find Lauren's story both relatable and inspiring. And be sure to listen for the powerful question Lauren now asks herself after every class—a simple shift in perspective that has helped her stop worrying about what her students might be thinking and instead focus on the things she can control.

The “Start Here” Episode (EP.410)
If you're new to this podcast—or you've been listening for a while and want to better understand the philosophy behind what I offer—this is the perfect place to start. In this episode, I answer five foundational questions: Why is anatomy often taught in such a confusing way? Why do so many yoga teachers struggle with confidence? Why did I create Bare Bones Yoga? What makes my approach to teaching anatomy different? And what can you expect if you continue listening to this podcast? Whether you're a new yoga teacher or have been teaching for years, this episode will give you a clear understanding of my mission to make anatomy approachable, practical, and immediately applicable to your teaching. I start our with a bit of background about Yoga Alliance, the registry for yoga teachers, as a way to help you build a better understanding of the organization and it’s role in the industry. I end with a success story for one of the teachers in my program. Here is a resource you might like: https://barebonesyoga.lpages.co/from-the-interview-chair-e-book/ And, if you’re curious about how I work with yoga teachers, here is one of my programs: https://barebonesyoga.thinkific.com/courses/Yoga-Anatomy-Accelerator If you’ve got questions about what’s a good fit for you, let me know.

What Would You Do If You Didn’t Care About The Outcome? (EP.409)
As a follow up to last week’s episode where I shared my new perspective on a problem I was experiencing in my business, I pick up on a related theme but turn the frame to you. This episode talks about a common theme for yoga teachers, which has to do with wanting to do a particular thing in their class or as a teacher but being worried about the outcome or what other people will think of them. As you listen, I share a few ideas that might resonate with you and you can also think of what comes to mind when you hear it. I end this episode describing some of the common problems yoga teachers have and an approach to help. Listen to see if you can relate. As I mention, here are some teaching resources you can get: https://barebonesyoga.lpages.co/tips-for-new-teachers/ https://barebonesyoga.lpages.co/how-to-create-a-signature-sequence/ If you’re ready to get help, check out my Accelerator program: https://barebonesyoga.thinkific.com/courses/Yoga-Anatomy-Accelerator

What Changed When I Let Go Of The Outcome (EP.408)
In this episode, I share a recent lesson I've been learning in my business about feedback, expectations, and letting go of outcomes I can't control. What started as frustration over not getting replies to emails, DMs, and workshop invitations led me to rethink how I show up and serve my audience. As I share that story, I connect it to a common challenge many yoga teachers face: looking for validation from students, feedback after class, or signs that we're doing a good job. If you've ever found yourself feeling discouraged by a lack of response or wondering what others think of your teaching, this episode offers a different perspective—one that may help you feel more grounded, present, and connected to why you teach in the first place. Here are some teaching resources you might like: https://barebonesyoga.lpages.co/tips-for-new-teachers/ https://barebonesyoga.lpages.co/from-the-interview-chair-e-book/ https://barebonesyoga.thinkific.com/courses/Yoga-Anatomy-Accelerator

How I Got Here And What We May Have In Common (EP.407)
In this episode, I turn the microphone around and share some of my own story as a yoga teacher—how I got started, the challenges I faced early on, and the experiences that ultimately shaped the work I do today. Along the way, I reflect on some of the struggles I had and maybe you’ll see yourself in some of what I share. My hope is that listening to this episode gives you some context for what I share on the podcast and gives you a chance to hear how I’ve addressed some of the problems and challenges I had. Maybe it will give you some things you can try yourself to help you build your confidence. I mentioned one of the interviews I did last year and here’s a link to that: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/yoga-teaching-confidence-starts-here-anatomy-mindset/id1795863974?i=1000718213326
