I don't do this for the money (really, what money?) no I teach yoga because it's my passion and I love to see my students thrive from it.
I've had quite a few people come up to me and say how much better their bodies feel after starting a yoga practice. Some have improvements in specific areas that were in pain and some just feel all around better!
It warms my heart <3
One of my students who started coming around January just to check it out. She would come once a week, then twice, then I'd see her just about every time I taught. She said to me "I think I'm addicted to yoga" Yep, it can do that to a person, but is that such a bad thing? She comes up to me and asks questions about poses and most of the time it's to ask how to improve. And I say the same thing "just keep practicing it." And she does. I can see it and notice the difference. I love seeing her drive and fascination with yoga.
Last week I had a girl come in with her mom, around twelve or thirteen.I thought it would make me nervous but it turned out to be the greatest thing ever to observe. I encouraged her in Tree Pose and eventually she did get her balance. Her expressions during the class were priceless.
Of course I get the people who come on occasion or this one guy I just cannot stand at all. But like anything else, I put it all aside and focus on the people who really do enjoy the practice that I guide.
I make a difference. That's what I have to tell myself, because even if it's just to one person, it's true.
Peace out,
Dylan
