Yoga Teachers, Are You Falling Into This Common Trap?
Briefly

"Chances are you started teaching yoga to help others. And along the way, you've spent hundreds of hours—and thousands of dollars—to complete trainings that help you learn how to do exactly that."
"Because I let myself come first, I wound up creating an exclusionary classroom where learning wasn't the priority. Instead, it corrupted my ability to achieve the very thing that made me want to teach yoga: helping students find connection, or union, with yoga and themselves."
"Your job as a yoga teacher is not to be the hero. It's to be the guide. But it can be easy to succumb to the thinking that you need to act in ways that support that main character role, even if they don't contribute to your students' understanding of yoga."
"The root of all of the kleshas is avidya, also known as wrong seeing. When our perception is clouded, everything we do emanates from a place of confusion, and our actions move us away from clarity and connection."
