This week’s podcast is titled: 096 Good Teacher, Bad Teacher
What makes a good yoga teacher, and what are the warning signs of a bad one? In this episode, Emma and Andy dig into what we should expect from the people guiding us, whether on the mat or in life. We look at the qualities that set great teachers apart, the red flags worth noticing, and why the “right” teacher for one person can be completely wrong for another. Whether you’re a practitioner, a teacher, or just yoga-curious, this one may change how you choose who to learn from - in life, not just in the shala!
Husband and Wife team, Emma and Andy try to keep their podcasts light-hearted and unedited, wherever possible, allowing for a more natural conversation style and an authentic representation of their characters. They aim to provide information and entertainment by mixing their knowledge, research and personal experiences with debate and (occasional) opposing view points.
