In this episode, Jason dives deep into one of the most overlooked — and often overwhelming — skills in yoga teaching: verbal communication. Whether you're a new teacher still getting comfortable saying anything aloud, or a seasoned instructor trying to say less with more impact, this conversation is full of practical insights.

• Why saying less often helps students learn more
• The #1 mistake yoga teachers make with verbal cues (and how to fix it)
• What Jason learned from Andrea’s editorial red pen ✏️
• How to pair your cues with your sequence (and why this skill takes time to develop)
• What “over-teaching” looks like and how to avoid it
• Minimizing jargon (and when it's okay to use it)
• Managing up-speak and down-speak for clarity and confidence
• Using story, metaphor, and analogy to keep teaching engaging
• The hardest skill of all: being yourself, even while giving commands
•
