Everybody gets judged throughout the day everyday no matter what they do. Has it always been this way or has social media just made it worse?! I do too sometimes, I'm a human, even though humans aren't supposed to judge other humans it's human nature O_O
There's a lot of aspects of myself that I get judged on, all the time, but I shall focus on the yoga aspect.
I get up in front of people and teach almost every day. People have this idea in their head about what a yoga instructor is supposed to sound like, look like, etc. I may be blonde and flexible but I am neither tall nor do I have a thin build.
I get judged if my yoga class is too easy or too difficult. I get judged whether I wear my hair up or down. I get judged whether I wear Lululemon or an old Marvel tshirt. I'm judged when an OPTION, mind you, of my all level class is more advanced. Listen, people had an uproar about supta virasana even though I said IF YOU WANT TO YOU CAN TAKE THIS and THIS IS OPTIONAL. It was a hen house. I get super judged when I tell people I'm not that "crunchy-granola" type person. Judged on my age, my god I could go on forever, but I shall not.
So with all that circling around while I'm up in front of people I could either let it get to me or shake it off. I choose to not give a f*ck. At all.
Like my dad (and now I) say, "If ya can't take the heat, then get outta the kitchen."
Peace out,
