Here’s some things I DON’T buy into as a yoga facilitator:
❤️🔥 Muting myself or watering down my personality in the name of yoga…
~ This might offend some purists but I believe we all offer in our own unique ways ~ I see the ego, I put it to one side to receive whatever wants to move through me, and then I use it to offer the energy back in a way that is entirely truthful and authentic to me, my unique energy and my practice. I don’t impose myself onto a student’s journey, but I also don’t hide my personality either.
❤️🔥 Shying away from sharing the WHOLE of the journey… the good, the shadowy and the ugly…
~ Because in my practice and view I don’t see any of it as separate, just energy manifesting in different ways. I trust entirely that energy is there to be seen, felt and alchemised - and that it all has a role to play. Anger can be the most divine expression of love and can move mountains, if channelled into alchemy and with intention.
❤️🔥 Keeping a stoic, non-emotional, placid look on my face at all times…
~ You’re more likely to find me laughing than anything else and honestly, I think that laughter is one of the most healing things you can do for yourself! I LOVE a good belly laugh! I flip between light and depth in classes easily and I love the play between the two.
❤️🔥 Worrying about class numbers…
I always make sure I have some sort of additional income streams to support my root chakra and my sense of financial stability, otherwise if all of my income is reliant on the fluctuation of class numbers, I end up in a fear spiral of class numbers = bill payments.
I take the pressure off the finances, and allow my energy to be entirely with the person in front of me, whether one or ten.
❤️🔥 Never speaking up on worldly goings on, or staying silent when every bone in my body is screaming not to…
Speaks for itself ~ spiritual apathy is real.
❤️🔥 Skipping on my own practice…
IMO the BIGGEST one! My practice is priority above pretty much all else. There is always time. I need to be in deep connection to the practice to teach it… it’s where every drop of offering comes from and it’s how I move through the world.
