This video covers: • Why saying less often accomplishes more • The 3-Cue Rule that prevents student overwhelm • How to structure cues so they actually land • Why silence is one of your most powerful teaching tools • How to find your authentic teaching voice (not that artificial "yoga voice") • Matching your cues to how students actually learn If you've been overwhelming your students with information, second-guessing every word, or wondering why your carefully planned cues don't seem to land—this one's for you. ⏱️ Chapters: 00:00 The misconception of over-instruction 00:51 Hi, I'm Sage Rountree 01:39 The power of saying less 04:22 The 3-Cue Rule 06:03 Understanding different learning styles 07:31 Embracing silence in your teaching 09:18 Finding your authentic teaching voice 10:55 The importance of specific imagery 12:05 Presence over perfectionism 13:31 Challenge: implementing the 3-Cue Rule 14:27 Further learning and community support — MORE FOR YOGA TEACHERS: → Yoga Class Prep Station ($39/mo): the full sequence library plus a fresh lesson plan every week https://www.comfortzoneyoga.com/prep?... → Master the Art of Yoga Sequencing (6-month mentorship) https://sagerountree.com/mentorship?u... → The Art of Yoga Sequencing (the 6–4–2 framework, in book form) https://sagerountree.com/books/?utm_s... → Yoga Teacher Confidential Podcast https://sagerountree.com/podcast/?utm... → Weekly newsletter + free Greatest Hits Lesson Plan https://sagerountree.com/newsletter/?...
