Teacher Development: Beyond the Sweat with Shawna Lemelman & Bendex Stevenson

Saturday, April 18

4:30-6:30pm • Newton & Livestream

This Teacher Development workshop is designed for current yoga teachers and those in training who want to find and refine their authentic teaching voice while skillfully guiding students through the intensity of a hot power flow.

Grounded in the principle of Svadhyaya (self-study), this session explores how authenticity begins with the teacher’s relationship to themselves. We’ll examine what it means to strip away the “yoga teacher” persona and communicate from a place that feels natural, grounded, and true—especially in a demanding, high-heat environment.

Together, we’ll unpack what defines a hot power class, and more importantly, how you show up to challenge, motivate, and hold students in the room with clarity, confidence, and care. Expect both discussion and embodied practice as we explore how voice, presence, and intention shape the student experience beyond the sweat.

Please bring: a yoga mat, towel, and water—and be ready to move.

Cost: $40
