Heart..

Growth to me is a bit of a sickly subject if seen through the eyes of ego.

I mean does a child boast that it’s feet have lengthened or that they have outgrown  their trainers as if this is something to be rewarded or seen as commendable? 

Growth in many respects happens regardless of our commitment to it. 

Life throws situations at us that present challenges and need of solutions and therefore we ultimately have to grow. 

But I believe we can have a willingness to growth. A healthy desire for growth, a hunger if you will.

There are many of us who resist growth and therefore can resist the fluidity of change. 

Ultimately growth is change. 

Looking at my blog posts from 2016 I see change. 

A fresh yoga teacher with no idea where this path and studies would take me.

My  first nervous class, My unfamiliarity with my offering. My teaching style. My voice. 

Now I am seeing so much of what I deemed important back then as not so important at all.

Now my yoga classes are incorporated with self questioning,  themes about our inner workings, our heart our soul.. basically my unique fingerprint creates each class. As do any other classes that bring a part of themselves. 

What I mean to say is yoga classes, asana and what I was taught are a small part of what I love to incorporate into class. 

Our experiences shape our offerings. 

Like a Bee collecting pollen from a flower. 

Things stick to you... things that resonate with you become a part of what you offer.

Let’s say I’m a bee... I’m attracted to a red flower.. not the yellow one. 

The red one is looking delicious. So I go and nestle in the red flower. 

When I leave that flower I have it’s experience all over me. It’s stuck to my fuzziness and I’m smelling and tasting like that red flower. A transaction has taken place. 

Now I buzz to my next class and pass on that pollen to the students I interact with. 

In conversation,

In energy,

In spirit. 

I pass on the experience to others. 

Each transaction is personal depending on what I am attracted to in the first place, how I’ve embraced  that experience and now how I pass it on. 

Each persons interest, what attracts them, to the point where they get more acquainted with.. it all has a direct impact on the type of experience and classes they create. 

Mr bumble bee who wasn’t interested in the red flower but fancies dipping his toes in the yellow ashtanga pollen will offer a totally different offering. 

There lies the beauty.. immerse yourself in what you are attracted to. Get involved in it. Join a course. Class. Circle. Group and then get excited about what excites You! 

Don’t worry about the rest.. your tribe will come because of the uniqueness that you offer and the passion behind what you bring.
