Where are you at?

You have started teaching relatively recently, and while the beginning was exciting, it was quickly overshadowed by many uncertainties and feelings of overwhelm. As you delved deeper into the life of a movement teacher, you noticed gaps in your knowledge and skills, which affected your confidence. You now realise how isolating teaching can be, as you lack the support you had during your training. You are wondering whether there is a place where you could receive assistance with your teaching skills, and also a community where you would feel comfortable reaching out with questions and seeking support about life as a teacher.

What problems might you be facing right now?

You are teaching too many hours per week, which leaves you exhausted and with little time for self-practice, and your body is beginning to feel the effects. You find yourself spending more money at the osteopath’s (or at least it feels that way) instead of giving your body what it truly needs—movement. You promise yourself that this week will be the week you will set time aside to do some movement only not to. You recognise that this is a false economy, but you feel stuck and drained.

You go to bed overthinking your teaching and the issues that arise with clients, yet you lack someone to talk to about it and could really use a sounding board. Perhaps you have tried discussing it with your partner or a friend, but they don’t seem to understand; they don’t grasp the concerns and worries you have, leaving you feeling dismissed and deflated.

You turn to Instagram or YouTube for inspiration, only to end up doom-scrolling and comparing yourself to other teachers, which makes you feel even worse than before. You start to wonder if you will ever feel more confident as a teacher and if this anxiety will ever subside.

What do you need help with right now?

You need help with structure and accountability. A chance to carve out time and commit to your movement practice so that your body can continue to serve you well and stave off the osteo and aches. You need a class that is easy to attend and designed with people like you in mind.

You wish there was a friendly group of other teachers who are also going through what you are, and you can all share experiences, support each other without the drama, or dismissiveness.

You are looking for that constant and reliable support from someone with experience in the field. You need help from someone to guide you in identifying your strengths and skills as a teacher, learn how to set healthy boundaries with your clients, understand how to become a more confident teacher and increase your knowledge of the art of teaching movement.
You are ready to commit to doing what it takes to thrive as a teacher, doubt less and stay in love with your practice!
