Being able to sit with myself in this shape has taught me how to be, and how I respond during times of challenge.
✨At first my initial response was to get out of it, resist and ultimately tighten up. Once met with challenge I would want to avoid. Being afforded the time and space to lean into this shape meant I was able to move beyond the initial response and settle into a space where I could be challenged both physically, and emotionally and yet connect to a sense of peace, stillness and confidence.
As a new teacher I would approach other people's challenge in a similar way, maybe moving people out of shapes before the real practice began.
✨I have grown in confidence as a teacher and I now feel it's my duty to give everyone chance to be in their bodies for longer, to explore, enquire and ultimately learn more about themselves in moments of stillness, challenge, movement and rest.
When I feel the pull to move people on, I am consciously taking an extra few deep breaths beforehand. So much can be learned in those extra breaths. ❤️
