E K A P A D A B A K A S A N A II | one legged crow variation.

I think that whenever I do this posture, it’s never graceful, beautiful, or aesthetically pleasing. I blame my smaller body, my T-Rex arms, and mediocre strength. But I can do it.
.
.
I’m teaching this in my classes now, and when I demo it, I get groans and people who remark they’ll never be able to do it. I tell them it’s a shape, giving them an option to do it on their back, and that they cannot expect to just pop into it if it’s a new posture in their practice.
.
.
And then I’m brought back to a place of humility—I can rag on myself all day—but I can get into the ungraceful pose after practice and falling on my face and butt.

When it’s dubious whether you’re going for a half-bind or you’re looking for your SI joint...

No? Just me? Joking aside, in our training, we go over different injuries and pain points and I just can’t relate, because I’ve never had SI pain, knee pain, hip pain...I’ve had bursitis, compressed my lumbar spine, but nothing chronic.

I’m incredibly lucky and grateful, but I almost feel like I’m missing out with being able to help students who come to me with said pain.

A fellow teacher told me how someone asked her if she felt guilty or immoral for charging money for yoga classes. As a teacher myself, that’s an easy question for me to answer.

Like any profession, being a yoga teacher takes training, time, and hours upon hours of practice (as I’m in the midst of finishing another training—I. Know.). Not anyone can go up in front of a room and teach yoga. You have to learn about the body, safe transitions, alignment, modifications...it goes on.

By this person even remotely suggesting that being compensated for your time, skill, and knowledge invalidates all that we do as teachers. I am not suggesting that we can’t, from time to time, help our our community in our own ways of giving back, but to recognize reality.
