21st week - teacher's manifesto (almost) ;-)...

I really don't like that my last week's post is coming this late - it gives me a little bit of much-needed routine these days to write my blog every sunday usually, so these last few days were obviously a long way from routine...

I took on some new hours as a yoga-teacher - yet another place, yet other people and yet some things to learn! :-)
It's very new to me to be a teacher and now that I do have some experience, I feel that I feel more and more at home in the role of a TEACHER. I'm not just that girl that tells people how to get into those weird poses and how long to hold them, I'm somebody they can relate to, too!

I can tell, when they enter the studio and see me - some of them seem to be proud to know my name, some of them seem to take in the things that I say (for example that girl who buys two big bottles of water after class, because I just had said, they should drink "shit loads of water today"). It's kinda nice, to know this now - and it's also something that we as yoga-teachers (or others who work with teaching) have to deal with...

If we take it personally, we will miss the point! We are not here to be liked or loved even, we are here to acompany people on their ways. We might not even know how we do it, and that's ok, but I strive to not take it personally - neither the praise nor the critique.
I'm my own person with my own path - I will strive to know more and to be rooted deeper in the philosophy and to be even more emphatic, and I want to try "to stand in my own light". I will try to be fully me, not more, not less! And then let go of fear of not being liked...

Light and Love! :-)
