Be honest with yourself. Did you become a teacher/ educator/ mentor out of your absolute love for adolescents? Or Were you like me, a frustrated and under confident artist, in my case, who fell into teaching because I was too scared to expose myself as anything greater. I like to say that teaching found me and that my love for teenagers came later, and it is true!!! I don’t regret anything about my path but I have made it my absolute priority to be the best mentor that I can and to offer my young people the most extraordinary experience that I know how. When I became a yoga teacher I knew that our youth were in desperate need of attention. ADHD diagnosis is at an all time high. Stress, anxiety and depression are everyday words. My daily question is: How can I be of service to them? These teenagers have become my obsession, my life’s work and my priority. My greatest desire is to empower them to be the unique and worthy adults that they are destined to become. To give them the tools and skills to be in control of their future. YOGA/ MEDITATION/MINDFULNESS can guide them in a way that theories and words can’t. To feel, experience and live for the moment is what a child should be doing, don’t you agree? Isn’t that what we have all been trying to get back since childhood? just think about it. STAY TUNED, in the following weeks I will be sharing guidelines with you on how you can be the BEST INFLUENCE you can be for your youth. With love MEL 🌸💕
