FEEL LIKE YOU

It’s amazing how different the experience is for tapping into feeling when the cuing feels natural, when it’s not flowery or overt, and when it doesn’t tell you exactly what to do. Your goal is to inspire people to feel, not to tell them to. It’s a different dynamic. It’s amazing how empowering guiding this way is. Yoga has a reputation for being intimidating, and one of the reasons that exists is the idea of pose goals. People often feel as if they are doing it right and will get a gold star, which really isn’t the point at all. Or they feel they are doing it wrong and become defeated. A yoga teacher might say, “Don’t compete” or “Don’t judge yourself,” but when the feeling cues aren’t present for each person to move how it really feels good to move, the elephant in the room is always there. The goal remains the pose until we believe it isn’t. The amazing thing that happens when you take the pose goal away is the poses become easy with the process. You become the goal. You’ll be able to do more, and the people in your classes will accomplish challenging movements without the struggle. I love when regulars at the studio bring their friends and those friends are blown away by how “great” they are at yoga. Oftentimes our regular isn’t even aware that the moves she is doing are hard or supposed to be hard or that she has achieved a perceived challenging pose. She is simply in the process with the practice, and sensitizing to how she feels, which allows her to do more. It makes me smile every time.
