About The Mentor Sessions
With amazing guests or solo, I explore the craft of teaching yoga, as its own practice. I'm seeking answers to the questions about why we teach something the way we do, how we could be more expansive and inclusive in our teaching, and how we can continue to grow and evolve in our teaching practice. I'm so glad you are here because I believe the depth that arises in teaching comes from inquiry and relationship. Join me as I offer nourishing support to help you feel more confident in your teaching and realistic strategy to help you find more clarity on your career path. Francesca Cervero (she/her) has been a full-time yoga teacher since 2005. Her teaching is inspired by her foundational training with Cyndi Lee at OM Yoga Center, the years she spent as a dancer and the subsequent years she spent in physical therapy. Her teaching is also influenced by her love of Buddhist teachings and a constant curiosity about anatomy and biomechanics. She is in private practice teaching a full schedule of 1x1 clients, mentors yoga teachers in The Science of the Private Lesson™, hosts the podcast, The Mentor Sessions: Support & Strategy for Yoga Teachers and is the founder of the adjoining community, The Mentor Sessions Sangha.

183: Teaching Asana Without Demonstrating: UPDATED
Published 29 Sept 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] Teaching without demonstrating also develops student embodiment. So students learn to connect language with physical sensation, and they become more aware, hopefully, of where their weight is, what different body parts are doing, specific feeling of tissue sensation, stretching and working and relaxing. They develop more proprioceptive and kinesthetic information and interoception as well. And these skills then support a more embodied experience off the mat as well. Teaching without demonstrating also developed an inward attention because for the student watching the teacher, I think pulls their attention outward. […]
