If you’re a yoga teacher looking to expand your career, confidence on camera is a skill worth developing. Teaching online, offering on-demand classes, or sharing promotional videos can open up opportunities to connect with more students and grow your income—even when you’re not physically present.
I get it—being on camera can feel daunting at first. But like teaching a yoga class, it’s something you can grow into with practice and the right mindset.
In the latest episode of Yoga Teacher Confidential, I welcomed my friend Jenni Rawlings, a seasoned content creator and yoga educator, to share her insights on building confidence on camera.
Here’s what we covered:
Starting Small: Jenni and I talked about how we got our start in video production back in the yoga DVD era. (Yes, it’s as retro as it sounds!)
Practical Tips for Filming: From tools like iPhones to strategies for breaking down production tasks, we shared ideas to make the process smoother.
Handling Criticism: Jenni offered valuable advice on staying confident, even when facing negativity online.
Building Connection: Teaching on camera doesn’t mean sacrificing connection with your students—we discussed how to foster community, even asynchronously.
Jenni’s advice is simple and empowering: “Your message is what matters.” When you focus on the value you’re providing, it’s easier to show up authentically and let your teaching shine.
