A major barrier for many people interested in yoga teacher training is the assumption that it is only for certain kinds of people—whether that's deep and spiritual, energetic and outgoing, irresistibly charismatic, or highly skilled at yoga postures.

In this episode of Why Distance Learning, hosts Seth Fleischauer, Allyson Mitchell and Tami Moehring welcome Pat Cassella—Executive Director of the United States Distance Learning Association (USDLA), VP of Worldwide Sales at VDO360, and founder of ETC Video. Pat traces the evolution of video technology in education, healthcare, government, and corporate training—and offers bold predictions about what's next.Why This MattersEducators are flooded with tools but lack training, workflows, and staffing to use them well—especially in hybrid settings where engaging in-person and remote learners simultaneously feels impossible. K-12 systems in particular face understaffing, turnover, and abandoned tech.How to Make It WorkPat argues for purpose-built technology aligned to teacher workflows and deliberate pedagogy for virtual/hybrid environments. The big shift: infrastructure is now easy—the work is pedagogical. He also highlights flexible learning models (including micro-credentialing) that expand choice for learners across K-12, higher ed, and the workforce.“You don't want technology for the sake of technology. It has to have a purpose—and fit the teacher's workflow.” “Without distance learning, you're limiting student choices. Flexibility is what today's learners demand.”Put It Into PracticeAudit for Purpose & Fit: Map your most-used teaching routines. Keep/choose tools that reduce steps in those routines and increase engagement for both in-person and remote learners.Train for Hybrid: Treat hybrid as its own modality. Build camera/mic placement, interaction norms, and roles (e.g., a student facilitator) into lesson plans.Offer Flexible Paths: Pilot a micro-credential or short, skills-focused module to give students on-ramps that match their time, goals, and circumstances.Episode LinksUnited States Distance Learning Association (USDLA) — mission, programs, and communityNational Distance Learning Week (NDLW) — first full week of November; explore events and sessions mentioned in the episodeVDO360 — video collaboration cameras and solutionsETC Video — educational technology consultingCILC Podcast Hub — past episodes, resources, and community: cilc.org/podcastHost LinksDiscover more virtual learning opportunities and resources at CILC.org with Tami Moehring and Allyson Mitchell.Banyan Global Learning provides meaningful global learning experiences that prepare students across the globe for success in an interconnected world.
