Online Communities
How we really grow as teachers is through our communities. By coming together to share, support, and hold space for each other to learn and grow. But what do you do if the community in your local area is small or not a fit for you?
There’s a whole world of community available to you online (and you never know, some of those connections could become IRL connections!). First of all, many cities have a yoga teacher Facebook group for that specific city! Do a quick search on Facebook to see if your city has one, too.
Here are some other online yoga communities to help you get started:
- Yoga Teachers [Facebook]
- The Connected Yoga Teacher Group [Facebook]
- Find What Feels Good Kula
- Elevate: Support + Strategy for Yoga Teachers with Francesca Cervero [Facebook]
