Episode Description from the Publisher

What if the sentence that changed how you teach could also change how you heal?In this week's Quickcast, Olivia shares the moment a simple piece of feedback — "telling isn't teaching" — flipped her entire approach to yoga instruction. She unpacks why information alone never changes behavior, why emotion is what turns information into memory, and how a trip to see Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey reminded her that plot isn't the same as experience.Then she brings it home to the mat: your tight hamstring isn't just a tight hamstring. Your breath in Warrior Two isn't just a breathing cue. Every pose can become part of a bigger story, and that's where real, lasting change for first responders begins.Listen now and learn how your own hero's journey starts with one simple change.Interested in becoming a YFFR Instructor?Visit YogaForFirstResponders.org to learn more about Instructor School programs and online trainings.https://www.instagram.com/yogaforfirstrespondershttps://www.facebook.com/YogaForFirstResponders
