If you haven’t heard from me in a couple days it’s because I’m completely immersed in @yogatuneup teacher training with @laurelbeversdorf, @macklenmayse and a group of smart, curious, strong yoga rebels. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This training is my jam. I love being a student, and I’m so happy to be in a training that’s really meeting me and challenging me where I am both as a practitioner and as an educator. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #yogatuneup #yogateacherlife #yogateachertraining #alwaysastudent #yogarebellion
I don’t always get it right but I feel like I’m on the right track when class was neither easy nor familiar and yet my students share feedback like this 👆🏼 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ There are many ways we can unintentionally stress our students. I’ve been practicing making way more room for people to have their own experience. I’ve been practicing using language that helps them ask the questions rather than tries to provide answers. I’m interested in guiding exploration and inquiry rather than feeding a need for certainty and absolutes. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It has taken a lot of teaching experience and constantly doing my own work (THE work) to get to a place where I’m comfortable enough in my own skin as a teacher to step back. I think this student was relaxed not because of the things I did but possibly because of the things I didn’t do that day. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ There is strength in softness. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #yogateacher #yogastudent #inquiry #exploration #strength
