Let’s get started.

Guided Meditation Script for Yoga Teachers:

Take a comfortable seat or lie down in savasana, letting your arms rest beside you and your palms face up in a gesture of openness and ease. Allow your legs to extend comfortably, and give yourself full permission to let go. Close your eyes gently and begin to turn your attention inward. Soften the muscles of your face—your jaw unclenches, your temples relax, your forehead smooths.

Let your entire body begin to settle. Inhale deeply through your nose, feeling the breath expand your lungs, and slowly exhale through your mouth, releasing tension. Let’s take another full breath—inhale, allowing space into your body… and exhale, softening deeply. Let the breath return to a natural rhythm—calm, steady, like gentle waves lapping at the shore.

Begin to notice how your body feels in this moment, without judgment. Simply observe—your weight against the mat or chair, the temperature of the air on your skin, the movement of your breath. You have offered so much of yourself to others—your presence, your patience, your energy.

But now, there’s nothing to give. This is your time to receive. With each exhale, feel the body grow heavier, melting into the earth. Let your shoulders drop, your spine relax, your belly soften. There is nothing you need to hold up. The earth is holding you now.

Feel the grounding energy beneath you—solid, unwavering, safe. With every breath, imagine your body becoming more connected to the ground below, like roots extending from your body into the earth, anchoring you, stabilizing you. Inhale deeply—presence. Exhale—release. Inhale—clarity. Exhale—rest. Let each breath cleanse and nourish you. With every exhale, let go of the to-do lists, the postures, the sequencing, the responsibilities. Let go of the inner dialogue that says you must always be composed, always be strong.

In this space, there is no performance. There is only being. You are not your title. You are not your role. You are a human being with needs, with feelings, with a heart that also deserves compassion. Let this be your sanctuary, your sacred pause. Allow your nervous system to settle. Let your thoughts drift by like clouds in a vast sky. If your mind wanders, gently bring it back to your breath. The breath is your teacher. The stillness is your temple. The quiet is your wisdom.

Now, bring into your awareness the spark that first led you to this path. Perhaps it was a class that changed your life. A teacher who saw you. A moment on your mat when you felt, for the first time, truly connected. Let that memory or sensation fill your heart space. Visualize it like a warm golden light expanding through your chest. Remember why you chose this journey. Remember that it was never about perfection—it was about connection, about healing, about truth.

Let yourself feel that purpose again—not as pressure, but as lightness. As joy. As calling. You are here for a reason. And yet, you don’t need to carry it all the time. You can place it down. You can rest. You are allowed to be tired. You are allowed to receive support. You are allowed to just breathe.

As you continue to rest in this gentle awareness, let every inhale bring in healing, calm energy… and let every exhale carry away fatigue, doubt, and anything that does not belong. Feel your energy balancing. Your mind clearing. Your heart softening. Even in silence, you are growing. Even in stillness, you are aligning. Nothing is missing in this moment. You are whole. You are worthy of rest. Let yourself be nourished. Let yourself be renewed. Breathe into that space.

Now, begin to gently bring your attention back to your physical body. Notice your breath again, how it feels to inhale and exhale. Bring awareness to the weight of your body, the sounds around you. Gently wiggle your fingers, your toes. Roll your shoulders. Maybe take a slow, stretching movement—whatever feels natural.

Take one final deep breath in… and exhale slowly, fully. Let a soft smile rise to your face—not forced, but from a place of peace. When you’re ready, slowly flutter your eyes open. Notice how you feel.

​Notice the calm, the clarity, the softness that remains. Know that you can return to this space anytime. This is always here for you. You are not only a teacher—you are a soul, a light, a presence. You are allowed to rest, to reflect, and to restore. Carry this calm with you into your next class, your next moment, your next breath.
