But I think this mindset allows the teacher and student to grow within what is possible and best for them. Allowing more freedom and flexibility during practice and life. :)<br /><br />I especially like the picture of the Dodo! :)<br /><br />BlessingsEco Yoginihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10693080137196812405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28555295.post-91699572166071144922009-05-06T06:44:00.000-05:002009-05-06T06:44:00.000-05:00I agree too. I really like my new teacher, and she...I agree too. I really like my new teacher, and she's more spiritual than other teachers I have had. I know others did not resonate with her for that reason, and a few years ago I might not have either, but it's just what I need at this point. <br /><br />Funny that you should mention Alice in Wonderland; I just posted a quote from that book last night.Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09696349282379608085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28555295.post-82393977931461930532009-05-06T03:44:00.000-05:002009-05-06T03:44:00.000-05:00I agree.

For example I have a gentle class of older ladies who love to chant and meditate. Whereas I have another class of younger people who want 13 sun salutations and to hold plank for as long as possible :)<br /><br />As long as everyone feels they are in a supported, welcome and trustful environment the mindfulness will come.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14723667016158831955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28555295.post-55791007639262650052009-05-05T22:22:00.000-05:002009-05-05T22:22:00.000-05:00An enthusiastic yes from this side of the world. ...An enthusiastic yes from this side of the world. I regularly teach "throw in the kitchen sink" kind of classes and my students seem to love it. For world laughter day yesterday we giggled in tree pose and ended up in silent legs up the wall. Take chances, stay focused on the student's needs, and believe in what you do with all of your soul. I still can't believe I get paid to help make people feel good...what a great vocation.Jan Holthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13590966226858325295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28555295.post-41116695922319733602009-05-05T20:19:00.000-05:002009-05-05T20:19:00.000-05:00Yeah, I pretty much agree with that, from my exper...Yeah, I pretty much agree with that, from my experience. It's the relationship between teacher and student, and defintely the enthusiasm of the teacher, that makes all the difference. I have had power yoga teachers I loved, and ones I didn't. I have been to Iyengar classes I loved, and ones I didn't....you get the picture. Relationship. Is all. And I suspect that I regularly teach made up poses! Haha.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
