one month into rise: 200-hour yoga teacher training; the early mornings, the sore bodies, the mental fatigue from unlearning and relearning. the courage it takes to be corrected, to ask better questions, to stand in front of your peers and teach anyway. excellence is not built in inspiration but rather in repetition, feedback, and quiet persistence.
our trainees are doing the work. showing up when it’s uncomfortable. refining their cues, their teaching, their understanding of anatomy, philosophy, and responsibility. this is grit. this is tenacity. this is how competent, ethical, and grounded teachers are formed. not by talent, but by commitment to the process.
one month down with foundations laid. the path ahead gets deeper, not easier and that’s exactly the point.
