about yoga teacher confidential

Yoga Teacher Confidential is your exclusive backstage pass to the unspoken truths of being a yoga teacher. Hosted by Sage Rountree, PhD, E-RYT500, this podcast pulls back the curtain on what really happens in the yoga classroom—and how you can become the most confident, capable teacher for your students. 

Season 1 is all about building confidence in your teaching practice. From overcoming imposter syndrome to learning and using students’ names effectively, you’ll gain actionable tips to improve your presence. We’ll explore what it takes to be a standout substitute teacher and much more.  

Each week across the season, you’ll receive Sage’s expert advice, delivered mostly in solo episodes. Through personal stories and examples from her extensive experience, Sage will help you feel more authentic and comfortable in front of your class. Plus, you’ll hear from seasoned yoga teachers who, like you, are working to lead their yoga classrooms with confidence, grace, and ease.  

Sage has over two decades of experience teaching yoga, running a yoga studio, and working with everyone from beginners to elite athletes, including NFL and NBA players and several University of North Carolina teams and coaches. Her signature offering, Teaching Yoga to Athletes, helps teachers master the skills needed to serve a specialized and rewarding niche turning athletes into champions while earning good money.  

Sage also specializes in yoga teacher development. You might know Sage from her 11 books, including The Art of Yoga Sequencing, The Professional Yoga Teacher’s Handbook, and Teaching Yoga Beyond the Poses (co-authored with Alexandra DeSiato). Maybe you’ve taken a class with her online or at major yoga festivals like Wanderlust and Yoga Journal LIVE, or read her advice for teachers in Yoga Journal. 

Join Sage as she shares the secrets to becoming (almost) every student’s favorite yoga teacher. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to refine your skills, and whether you teach athletes, beginners, or other yoga teachers, this podcast will help you teach with confidence, clarity, and authenticity. Your students—and your career—will thank you.
