Hi, I’m MaKenzie Fly 

I made this book for you because I know what it's like to feel lost and confused.

I graduated from YTT 200 with more questions than answers. But, I dove headfirst into teaching and man…was it messy. I started out teaching sunrise yoga at my university fitness center. Like most college kids, I would party too much and say things like, “Hold my beer.” just to bust out a crow pose. (My higher self is over here, face palming at the memory.) 

Back then, my teaching was unclear and clunky. I tried to teach beyond the poses, but it always felt forced, awkward, and inauthentic. My class sizes were small, and I wasn’t really connecting with my students in a way that kept them coming back. I felt stuck, like teaching in a studio was my only option, which wasn’t really as fulfilling as I hoped it would be. Eventually, I felt burnout and was worried I was losing my love for teaching yoga. I was about to give up…. 

But then I found my mentor, a teacher who was so skilled and refined that I was inspired by every class. He embodied every masterful quality that I wanted to be. I knew proximity was power, so I invested time and money to learn from him. I was able to pick up on his process and start to see what works and what doesn't.

With his guidance, my classes started to grow and my students started to stay after class to tell me how meaningful it was for them. I hope to do the same for you…

I wrote this book to mentor you on your journey to becoming a master yoga teacher, without all the messy trial and error I went through. It's jam-packed with specific action steps to ensure you’re on the right path to embody the qualities of truly magnetic yoga teachers. 

I made all the mistakes so you don’t have to. I wish I had had this kind of guidance when I was starting out.
