Here’s a secret— Sometimes when I’m teaching class, I go stand at the back of the room & I take a moment to watch the beautiful dynamic of students who decided that it was important enough to show up on that day, who took a step further by choosing to sign up specifically for my class. I wonder; what brought them here, to this space, with me? And how did I get so lucky to be here anyway? I tell you, a few years ago, I used to go to@kathrynblessington‘s yoga class, set my mat near the back, & imagine what it would be like to be a yoga teacher. What it would be like to have a room full of students who are guided through their own practice by a single voice, a cue for an inhale, a shift into warrior 2, & a driving energy that brings them to practice no matter the journey their on. The practice is always teaching something, I am just the guide. I am humbled & grateful every single time I get to step into a room & hold space for someone who is making the conscious effort to care for themselves, to show up on their mat, & to carry out the practice. We all come from a different place with a different reason, yet we share the same intention to be there for this practice.
Humbled & Grateful
