21 May As teachers we need to be clear at why we are teaching. That it’s not about us and what we “want “ for the students. Sometimes our own ego can get involved- it can become a show or an experience that we are trying to create. Instead of holding a light or a mirror up for the student to find the light within there selfs . We are not broken, everything we need is already there . It’s just remembering . I was with my teacher @sharathjoisr in India one year and he asked us in conference , “ how many of you are teachers? And who told you to teach ?” I left the Shala and really contemplated what he said ~ I really hold it to a high regard and honor to share the teachings, to honor my teachers and come from a place of my own experiences. But ultimately I’m there to hold the lamp and so people can see the light of awareness within themselves. It’s not about me. And the teachers I love and respect taught me that . I am here to serve . #magicalawareness #gratefulheart #yogaallthetime #sufferless #service #lightofawareness #compassion #whydoyouteach #love #ashtangayoga #yogateacher Yoga WRITTEN BY admin COMMENTS / 0
