The OnGoing 4 Layer Cueing Lab
A weekly practice space for yoga teachers ready to teach with clarity, confidence, and their own authentic voice.
The Four Layer Method
Most teacher trainings give you the poses. The 4 Layer Cueing Lab gives you the language.
Over four progressive layers, you'll build a cueing framework that is technically precise and unmistakably yours:
Layer 1 — What: Anatomical cues that tell students exactly what the body is doing
Layer 2 — Where: Directional cues that guide students through transitions with clarity
Layer 3 — Sensory: Cues that invite students into feeling rather than just doing
Layer 4 — Imagery: Metaphor and visualization that bring your unique voice alive
The first two layers build your foundation, the script you can trust. The last two are where you stop sounding like every other teacher and start sounding like you.
This lab will help you:
Find your authentic teaching voice — speak with ease and presence
Make your classes more accessible — especially for visually impaired students
Prevent burnout — so you can guide, not perform
See your students more clearly — and respond to what's actually happening in the room
Receive real feedback — from fellow teachers in a supportive environment
Gain true confidence — in your ability to teach without relying on demonstration
Cueing without demoing is one of the most powerful skills a yoga teacher can develop. When your words can move a student more than your body ever could, something shifts, not just in your teaching, but in how you see yourself as a teacher.
This is where that shift begins
How it works
Every Tuesday at 6:00pm PST we meet online via Google Meet — a small intentional group of 12 teachers maximum. Each session is 2 hours. We work through 4 to 5 poses, you're given cueing ideas and exercises, and you practice cueing each other in real time. Feedback is honest, specific, and supportive.
Missed a class? You can make it up for free in any session within 30 days, or upgrade to a private session for $35.
Jump in anytime. No long term commitment required.
Where this leads
Technique is where we begin, but it's never where we end.
As you build your foundation and get the reps in, something deeper starts to happen. You stop second-guessing yourself mid-class. You stop performing and start guiding. The imposter syndrome that followed you out of your YTT begins to loosen its grip.
Because here's the truth: the inner work you guide your students through on the mat? You deserve to do that work too. This lab is the first step in a longer journey — toward teaching from a place of deep inner confidence and soul-level knowing. Not just believing you are enough. Knowing it.
