I've been teaching yoga for more than eight years, and practicing for many more. I teach strong, fast-paced formats as well as restorative ones. My classes are consistently full, and I know my students leave feeling stronger, challenged, and centered. But after a recent yoga teaching evaluation at a chain yoga studio, I walked out feeling the opposite: not strong, not capable, not enough.
Anderson noted, "I reminded myself that curiosity is more powerful than self-doubt. Instead of trying to impress anyone, I approached team leaders and engaged them in meaningful conversations."
