Teaching Yoga Classes with a Script

As a new yoga teacher, you have a lot to keep track of.

What exactly should I say to get students in and out of the poses?

What if I forget what’s next?

What if I’m running behind or running early during a class?

I can remember in the early days of teaching feeling a bit overwhelmed with everything. That’s what inspired me to create a resource I’d recommend to any new teacher: a yoga class teaching script.

Yoga scripts can help you transition from yoga teacher training to leading classes with your community. They give you an outline for exactly what to say during a yoga class. Here are some resources to get you started.

Use the script below if you are a new yoga teacher and offering power vinyasa yoga classes.

Here’s what yoga teachers are saying about the POWER YOGA SCRIPT:

“This definitely helped me improve my flow with teaching asana after my teacher training.” -Donita, Vinyasa yoga teacher

”I love how you laid this script out. I felt confused and scattered as I was working on my classes and this helped me save time in the process. Thank you!” -Keyla, yin yoga teacher

“I’ll be honest: when I got done with my 200-hour training, I felt totally lost. I mean, my trainers went over all the poses but as soon as I’d get in front of the room, the words just weren’t there. I felt so stuck. This book helped me build my confidence and doing some memorization so I wasn’t always so terrified to teach.” -Beth, power vinyasa teacher
