Teaching Teachers and growing as a teacher

I am part of a team of teachers at Yogalife leading the teacher training for the next nine months. I will say, during my more than eight years as a yoga teacher - I have had MANY students become teachers. It's so exciting. And now to be OFFICIALLY teaching teachers is validating.

Every day I grow as a teacher, every day I try to become a better, stronger teacher for my students.

Yesterday I lead a workshop called, "Body Prayer."
This workshop was inspired by Seane Corn... but because I talk a lot about 'authenticity' - I made it my own with my own spin.... a Half Yoga Mala (54 Sun Salutations) and my own topics to work through. And Readings and Music to support.

It was the first time I lead this particular workshop.  It was so incredibly moving to have the group of people I did... all willing to do this devotional practice.  I was personally moved to share some of my own issues to work through using the physical practice.     It is amazing - the power of physical prayer.  I believe the practice monumentally changed some people. I believe the experience provided new eyes to look into their hearts. I know the experience changed me. 

I will continue to try to grow and change as  a teacher and bring my growth to the mat. I hope you will come with me :)
