61: Rethinking Yoga Teacher Training with Cecily Milne

Oct 22, 2019

I’m honored to call Cecily Milne a friend. She is thoughtful, smart and an amazing force for change in the yoga world.  As the creator of Yoga Detour, she is seen as a yoga “integrator”, helping people bridge the gap between the yoga they already love and the other things, like strength and mobility, they're becoming increasingly curious about. You can find Cecily teaching digitally through Detour Method Online and traveling around the world introducing people to the transformative power of intentional, inquiry-based learning and movement.

To hear more about Cecily and her approach to incorporating “non-yoga” movements into asana classes listen to our previous interview on Episode # 32!

In this episode you’ll hear:

• a conversation about yoga teacher education and critical thinking
• what might be missing from many yoga teacher training programs and how we can add it back in
• the hallmarks of high quality teaching in yoga and movement spaces 
• the most important skills a yoga teacher needs to develop and the best ways to do that
