Many newly certified yoga teachers look to continue their education in a 300-hour training straight after completing their 200-hour training. Often driven by excitement, a lack of confidence, or the long-held belief that more hours make a better teacher. This episode offers a different approach: teach first, let your students show you what you need to learn, and then choose advanced education based on a specific subject you want to study deeply rather than on the number of hours it adds to your credentials. I'll also explore how the upcoming Yoga Alliance changes point toward a more specialty-focused training landscape.

• What Only Teaching Can Teach You
• Why Three Years or Around 1,500 Classes
• Depth Over Hours
