This includes online classes, pop-up events, and specialized classes for different populations, such as office workers or people with disabilities. HOST: That sounds like a lot to juggle. What are some common challenges instructors face when trying to balance all these aspects? GUEST: Time management, differentiating their offerings, and staying true to their personal teaching style can be challenging. That's why our course emphasizes not just technical skills, but also self-care and personal growth for instructors. HOST: That's great to hear.
