How to Boost Your Confidence as a Newly-Qualified Seasonal Yoga Teacher – Part 2

You can read Part 1 of my advice for newly qualified yoga teachers here.

I am writing this as we close another year-long Seasonal Yoga teacher training at Cameo Studios in Warwickshire, and my newly qualified teachers all share in one thing - a lack of confidence in their experience.

I told them: If you have qualified as a Seasonal Yoga teacher, you have more knowledge than you probably realise and your students are very lucky to have you as a teacher. Seasonal Yoga isn’t just about external nature; it’s also about the internal climate of the room. Some days your students will arrive tired, scattered, emotional, or energised and being a skilled seasonal teacher isn’t memorising a sequence, it’s tuning into what’s needed in the moment. Ask yourself: What energy do I feel in the room? How can I support this? What seasonal themes can support the collective mood today? When you combine intuitive teaching with seasonal awareness, you create classes that feel grounding, relevant, and deeply aligned with nature’s rhythm.

So how can you share seasonal living in simple, accessible ways? You don’t need to deliver a lecture on traditional wisdom or seasonal energetics. Small, meaningful touches make a big impact. Share a theme inspired by the season.Bring awareness to what nature is doing outside. Use seasonal metaphors such as letting go in autumn, resting in winter, blooming in spring, expansion in summer.  Offer practices that match the season’s energy. Integrate the organs and elements related to the season you are in. You’re not just teaching poses; you’re teaching a way of living more in harmony with the world around us.

You are ready, more ready than you think. Your training, your passion, and your seasonal insight have led you here. Confidence comes from action, from teaching again and again, from witnessing the small transformations in your students. You don’t need to be perfect. Your yoga vibe will find its tribe. You just need to show up, authentic, grounded, and aligned with the seasons. Step forward with confidence. 

If you’d love to train as a yoga teacher - not necessarily to teach yourself, but to deepen your own practice and understanding of yoga - I run an annual Seasonal Yoga Teacher Training, we start January/February.
