On the one hand, it sounds like an injunction to be deeply personal but on the other hand, not.

When we put 100% of our heart, mind and effort into something that is a mix of what resonates with our own personal experiences and strong beliefs...that glob of teaching energy is 100% true to us. And hey, not everyone will get it, maybe some will love it, but we cannot hold on to the reactions. If they love us, great, if they hate us, listen and decide if you need to tweak, if they don't like then let them go! Thats the beauty of freedom. An introspective teacher will take all feedback and channel it into becoming truer to self and helpful to more. (as long as it doesnt change them too much)<br /><br />I really sincerely desire a more open communication between teachers and students in class and after so we can continue to grow---us/students/the discipline/the world. Why cant we try to do this? I know I will.

As a person, and a yoga teacher, of course it's not always so cut and dry, but it's important to realize everyone has their own thing going on and our best course is to be our authentic self and let other people take of it what they will.Kassandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06392230460420074621noreply@blogger.com
