You’ve been considering teaching yoga in English. You’ve got a repertoire of classes and scripts in your own language and believe that your next step is to simply translate them...
I want to stop you there!
Translating words directly is problematic for a few reasons:
Reason 1:
Translation apps are often incorrect, too literal and don’t consider context or alternatives.
Reason 2:
Direct translations can result in confusing, offensive, non-inclusive language.
Reason 3:
A good translation communicates messages, meaning and feelings, not just a line of individual words.
Translating is about communicating the whole meaning of an idea, not the meaning of individual words.
If you want to know how to achieve this for your yoga classes, tune in and find out!
