At first, there is a huge distance between the brain and what comes out of the mouth-I completely remember that time. One good thing to remember is to “teach where you’re at.” Don’t try to teach something you don’t understand, and don’t fake it-just be true with what you know, what you’re curious about, and share what you’re learning-that’s what your students will love about you. Good luck!

Ravi! Awesome blog and I love this post!! Since we got home on Saturday I have been practice teaching on a few women from work every day and am LOVING IT! So this posting really hits home! I too can’t believe how rewarding the feeling is at the end of class. It’s like sharing my practice, learning about the students’ practices and learning so much about myself in the process. I do need to study the asanas more, my Sanskrit more too and focus on the breath. But it is coming! Thank you for sharing all your insights!! All the best – Stacia

Ravi,

Thanks so much for your inspiration at BPY L1 last week. I am a new teacher (3 months) and totally went through that. I can only say that it is one of the most fulfilling things I have ever done in my life and I feel so blessed to be able to share the amazing gift of yoga with others.

Be well,

Rebecca Pearce

Hey Kristy, thanks for the comment. It was absolutely an amazing experience for me. I have an outstanding time in the training last year, and it propelled me right into Level 1 and Level 2!

Ravi,
Yoga to me is physical meditation. The breath, the pose and the mind all working together breaking past bounds and limitations.

It helps me focus and center emotions and thoughts so well. Truly addictive.

I practice yoga because I love that I’m constantly learning about myself and my body. I’m also a personal trainer although not currently practicing and I know the joy of teaching is so fun and can be filled with passion. I’m a runner too so feel it’s a good way to balance my body.
