Repeat the cycle
This cycle can be used when attending CPD events and trainings
and is fabulous as a method to use when evaluating your classes
after teaching. CPD and reflective practice are invaluable as they
can assist you in giving your classes and practice so much more
validity and content. Your students will also appreciate you taking
further CPD so that you can share with them what you have learnt
so that they too can learn and deepen their own understanding
of yoga.
CPD helps to keep classes and workshops fresh so students
don’t get bored and so that you continue to thrive as a teacher.
It also helps to discourage you from getting too complacent in
your teaching. Even the teachers that have been teaching over
30 years can learn something from attending CPD events and this
learning never stops. So, whether you need to do CPD or not, be
encouraged to seek further knowledge of your subject or interests.
It’s exciting to continuously learn and develop as a teacher and
it can give you so much more of an enrichment of knowledge,
of a subject area that is so vast in tradition and information, for
yourself, your classes, and your students.
