The "Other" Yoga Teacher





Recently chatting before a yoga class, I was sharing a story, in which four other yoga teachers shared a morning practice I was leading, we were honored with a particularly amazing sunrise. (Pictured above) One of my students commented on her love of one of the teachers that had attended.  Then our conversation turned to the importance of exposing yourself to various teacher and styles and how it aids in growing a yoga practice.  She then said that when she started to attend my class she “felt like she was cheating on her beloved teacher” it made my laugh to picture myself as the “other teacher” Seriously though, to my loyal student, please cheat on me. I am always here for my students. Step outside the box. Sure, I would love it if you experienced your growth at A Hopeful Balance, but follow your own path, just do some yoga. My dream is to be a student, and I am living my dream. I hope we will be able to use our studio to attract quality teachers for workshops and teacher trainings. And then we can all learn new things together. You can never learn enough. Much Gratitude.
