The Latin term for educate is educere, meaning to lead forth or draw out. Being a yoga teacher means, then, to help my students discover what's already inside themselves...the beauty, the perfection, the divinity. These qualities have been layered over by years of stories, painful experiences, role playing.
I have my favorite teachers, not because of the music they play, how hard their class is, but by how they challenge me to look at my life! I appreciate that quality in my teachers and aspire to play that role in the lives of my future students.
What role can I play in the newly discovered self that walks off the mat???
