Podcasts about teacher training

What is a good teacher?Most of us can name a teacher who made a lasting impact, not just through information, but through formation, awakening curiosity, shaping understanding, and building confidence. In this BaseCamp Live episode, host Davies Owens sits down with classical educator and mentor Carrie Eben, co-author of The Good Teacher: 10 Pedagogical Principles That Will Transform Your Teaching, to explore the often-overlooked piece of classical Christian education, how we teach, not only what we teach.Carrie has spent more than 25 years serving in classical education across schools and homeschooling. She is a founding board member at Sager Classical Academy in Siloam Springs, Arkansas, and a head mentor for the Searcy Institute Master Teacher Apprenticeship in the Ozark Mountain region. Together, Davies and Carrie discuss why classical schools must often “make” teachers through mentorship and apprenticeship, and why pedagogy matters because the teacher is not merely delivering content, the teacher is shaping the classroom culture and the student's loves.The conversation centers on two foundational principles that set the rhythm for great teaching:Festina Lente, “make haste slowly,” a reminder that learning cannot be rushed. Wonder, contemplation, repetition, and embodied learning take time, and growth happens step by step.Carrie also turns to the importance of assessment, explaining that it should align with the purpose of education and the nature of the student, not simply a score. She highlights relational approaches like narrative assessment, and practical options like narration, oral work, debates, and live demonstrations of understanding, especially in a world navigating new pressures like AI.

After more than 25 years of practice and 20 years of teaching, Harmony has found herself in a very different relationship with yoga than the one she started with. In this conversation, she sits down with her friend and co-facilitator, Lindsay Johnson, to talk honestly about what happens when a highly structured, discipline heavy practice stops feeling like home to your body. They trace the arc from Ashtanga and power vinyasa into somatic yoga, nervous system literacy, trauma sensitivity, and embodied energetics, and how those worlds are coming together in their new 100 hour Somatic Yoga and Embodied Energy Teacher Training at Yoga Passage in Calgary.  Harmony shares how the dogma and dualism she experienced in traditional Ashtanga left her feeling traumatized and disconnected from her own body's wisdom, even as she continued to teach. Lindsay talks about growing up with medical trauma, discovering yoga as her first physical practice, and how chasing discipline, shapes, and handstands eventually gave way to a longing for freedom, expression, and true safety in her body. Together, they explore somatics as “coming home”: feeling instead of performing, building safety before “doing the work,” honouring the nervous system, and allowing movement, sound, and emotion to express in ways that look far less linear and far more like nature. They also speak directly to yoga teachers and long-time practitioners whose bodies are now saying no to old patterns, and how this training is designed as an initiation and a supplement to existing trainings rather than “just another certification.” If your yoga practice has started to feel like a grind, if your nervous system is already at capacity, or if you are curious about weaving subtle energy work, trauma literacy, and somatic language into the way you teach, this episode is an invitation to reimagine what yoga can be. In This Episode, You'll Hear About When a beloved practice stops working Harmony's honest reflection on feeling traumatized by the dogma and indoctrination around Ashtanga. What it is like when your body keeps saying “no” every time you get on your mat. Why so many midlife practitioners walk away from yoga entirely when the old way stops feeling safe. Lindsay's path through discipline into somatics First teacher training at Yoga Passage back in 2005 and years of teaching linear, disciplined styles like power vinyasa and Ashtanga. How a Saturday power class turned into a somatic class the moment she invited everyone to shake, and never went back. The realization that she had been hypervigilant and disconnected from her body for most of her life, and how somatics helped her come home. Discipline, structure and their limits Why highly structured systems can initially feel like safety for nervous systems shaped by trauma, chaos, or disorganized families. How discipline taught them to cue, hold space, and show up, yet eventually began to feel like a cage rather than support. The shift from “I need to fix myself and prove my worthiness” to “I am already whole, and the practice is about remembering that.” Somatic yoga as nervous system literacy What it means to teach from a felt sense instead of from performance or achievement. Using pendulation, “islands of safety,” and choice to guide students in and out of sensation. Why learning to relax and feel ease is a prerequisite for true regulation and resilience. Trauma sensitivity and language in class How somatic language differs from traditional cueing, especially around choice and autonomy. Giving students sovereignty instead of pushing them into “no pain, no gain” territory. Letting go of rigid bilateral rules and allowing asymmetry, ease, and curiosity to lead. Feminine energy, Kundalini and non-linear movement Reframing vinyasa and “flow” as something guided by breath and sensation, not just choreography. How Kundalini and Shakti express through spirals, oscillations, and organic movement rather than straight lines. The role of self-touch, oxytocin, and nurturing practices in regulating women's nervous systems. Embodied energetics and the subtle body Seeing the body as the densest part of the energetic field, not just a physical object. Working with the chakras, nadis, fascia, and spinal energetics as an integrated map. How teachers can sense the field, notice shifts, and differentiate between “my energy” and “the room.” The 100 Hour Somatic Yoga & Embodied Energy Teacher Training Who it is for: yoga teachers, healers, and coaches with a foundational training who want to go deeper. What it includes: somatic practices, nervous system education, subtle body mapping, trauma sensitive space-holding, and embodied leadership. How the in-person format at Yoga Passage in Calgary supports community, co-regulation, and live practice. About Our Guest: Lindsay Johnson Lindsay Johnson is a yoga teacher, somatic healing practitioner, and trauma-informed facilitator based in Calgary, Alberta. She has been practicing yoga for nearly 20 years and began teaching after her first training at Yoga Passage in 2005. Over the years, she has studied with teachers such as Shiva Rea and Baron Baptiste, taught power vinyasa and Ashtanga, owned her own studio, and eventually returned to Yoga Passage after major life changes in 2020.  Lindsay now focuses on somatic yoga, movement-based therapy, and nervous system literacy, helping students and clients reconnect with their bodies after trauma, burnout, and years of living in their heads. At Yoga Passage, she is listed as a practitioner offering somatic healing in their wellness program and teaches classes, workshops, full moon events, and her signature Soma Movement sessions.  Her work centres on sovereignty, choice, and collective healing. Through shaking practices, floor-based somatic sequences, and careful, choice-based language, Lindsay creates spaces where people can safely feel, express, and integrate their full emotional spectrum.

In this episode of LaidOPEN Podcast, I open up about my own deepening journey with Kundalini Yoga and sit with one of the teachers who has guided so much of that unfolding. Amanbir is a Kundalini Yoga teacher and trainer who has spent more than two years empowering and training thousands of students across the planet. His teaching blends traditional Kundalini lineage, Chinese medicine, astrology, and nervous system intelligence in a way that cuts through noise and brings you right into the truth of your own experience. We explore what Kundalini practice actually feels like inside a real human body and why it has the power to open your heart in ways that are both tender and undeniable. We talk about how mantra, breath, mudra and repetitive movement shift emotional patterns and help move trauma, especially the inherited stories that live in our cells. We get into the beauty and intensity of transformation, the importance of community and consistent practice, and the courage it takes to let yourself soften and expand at the same time. Amanbir also shares a simple breath practice you can use whenever you feel overwhelmed, disconnected or pulled into old habits. His presence is steady and deeply compassionate, and this conversation offers a grounded entry point into a practice that can change the way you meet yourself. If you have ever wondered what Kundalini can open in you, this episode brings you right to the heart of it.

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 short excerpt from Episode 103, Teacher Training Myths, host Rachel and fellow teacher trainer Dana Diament share that the truth is that teaching yoga is as much about holding space for students to be themselves as it is about instructing yoga poses and practices.

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.
