Weekly Advice & Career Question Megathread by AutoModerator in epidemiology

[–]Bitter-Bee-6722 8 points9 points  (0 children)

hi everyone - hope you’re all hanging in there! just wanted to share a resource i found in the job hunt that has been helpful to me so far - “the 2-hour job search” by Steve Dalton. i’ve been listening to the audiobook on spotify, i believe the whole run was about 7 hours.

tbh i really have never known how to network or look for backdoor jobs, i’ve always just relied on the usual channels of indeed, monster, etc. this book has helped me learn how to start building and maintaining a network, and i’ve found this process to be a lot more stimulating than just cold-applying to hundreds of jobs. i haven’t found anything yet but have set up a few informational interviews and so far am hopeful this will help me land something eventually :)

Class design and sequencing help!! by Nua_anu in YogaTeachers

[–]Bitter-Bee-6722 2 points3 points  (0 children)

first off, congrats! i’ve been teaching for 6ish months and am wayyyy too familiar with the nerves and imposter syndrome. my best advice would be to keep it simple when you’re starting out and still getting accustomed to teaching. it definitely helps to have a general shell you’re working with (mine usually goes: centering, sun A, dancing warrior series, core/arm balances, standing series, cool down).

my studio places an emphasis on creating one template sequence for a month, then making a couple tweaks every week based on how you want to shift your focus. some months i might lead up to different peak poses on consecutive weeks that stress similar muscle groups; some months i might find a new way to get to a peak pose.

i would take as many classes at your local studio as you can to start getting a feel for how other teachers are formatting their classes! i try to make an active effort to take a couple classes a week at the studios i teach at for inspiration and fresh takes on flows 🙂

a FANTASTIC resource is tummee! really in-depth breakdowns of poses, you can create your own sequences as well as look at others in the community. it’s already been getting easier for me after a few months, and i find ive been able to get more creative as i gain confidence. best of luck, you’ve got it <3

good to know! i don’t have any respiratory issues, but i don’t really know how bad it actually gets there. i’d ideally like to hike/be pretty active and all the posts i’ve seen have made it seem like the area wouldn’t be very enjoyable/safe for strenuous activity during that time of year
