Training Thursday Post – Celeste, Maria, and Uta Complete the Cue with Confidence Workshop!

Posted on February 12, 2026 by mariafrench689

We are excited to share that Celeste, Maria, and Uta completed the “Cue with Confidence” workshop at Lucky Dog Yoga on Saturday, Feb. 7!

Offered and taught by 4yoga’s co-founder, Angie Jones, PhD, E-RYT 500, YACEP, “Cue with Confidence” focused on helping yoga teacher to refine the wording, structure, and delivery of cues in a way that better supports students. Topics included cueing brainstorming exercises, key features of effective cues, language choices, and how to apply each when planning or facilitating a yoga class.

Celeste, Maria, and Uta found the topics discussed to be informative and helpful in enhancing their teaching skills. Maria and Uta both commented on the usefulness of the word party exercise where teachers brainstorm words that connect to a class plan. Uta noted how it assists with developing language that connects alignment cues to the emphasis or theme of the class. Celeste expressed how “the discussion on different language choices while cueing was extremely helpful” and noted how important it is to also pay attention to verbal and non-verbal cues students give teachers.

In addition to learning about cueing, Celeste, Maria, and Uta appreciated the environment and structure of the workshop. Uta noted how the workshop “was very informative, interactive, and in a safe and supportive environment”.  Maria reflected on the structure that “Angie provided an optimal environment for learning by structuring the workshop to be a mix of discussion, handouts, and exercises.”

Please bring a snack to share if you can, and know that an RSVP to the Facebook event helps us plan.  Our book club is a free community event and always welcomes new members:  we are happy to see folks whether they practice yoga with us or not.

  2. Severe Weather/ Cancelation Policy: With winter upon us, we want to remind everyone that class cancellations/ updates due to severe weather will be posted to the calendar page, Facebook, and Instagram at least an hour before a scheduled class starts. During snowy or icy conditions, please only use the front entrance to access the studio as the back steps can become very slick.

Guest Teacher on Sun., Feb. 8: Christy McClendon

Posted on January 28, 2026 by mariafrench689

We are excited to welcome a guest teacher to the 4 p.m. Basic class on Sunday, Feb. 8, Christy McClendon. While many of you may have had the opportunity to practice with her at 4yoga, she also shared her bio below to get to know her better:  

Christy McClendon, MSW, PCC, and 200-hour registered yoga teacher (RYT200) with Yoga Alliance, brings a grounded presence to her yoga teaching, creating classes that invite students to presence, listen inwardly, and move with steadiness and care. Her approach is to supports students in building confidence, strength, and ease in their bodies over time.

With a background in leadership development, coaching, and contemplative practice, Christy is especially attuned to how people arrive and settle. Her classes invite resets, leaning into edges, tuning into spaciousness, and welcoming of where each student is in their practice.

Christy believes yoga is not about perfect shapes, but about learning how to be present with ourselves—on the mat and in daily life. She is honored to practice alongside the 4 Yoga Community and to offer yoga as a steady, supportive rhythm in the week.
