I want to say to those who are going to practice yoga with zero foundation: ask yourself first.
1. Why do you want to practice yoga? What do you want from practicing yoga? ? No matter what the answer is, please answer honestly, which contains your needs and is the original source of perseverance. For example, if you want to lose weight, have physical therapy, or be attracted by the posture that looks great ... it doesn't matter.
? 2. After making it clear, I suggest you experience the course and experience the physical feelings brought by the teacher's guidance in the course. I hope you can follow your heart and mind when speaking to the outside world.
The experience brought by a good yoga class must be relaxing, comfortable, warm and loving. Although you will feel sore at the beginning of practice, you can feel refreshed and full of energy after rest.
This is what I suggest you give priority to before the environment, price and distance. Experience more family, experience more teachers and consider other factors. The first yoga teacher you follow will have a far-reaching impact on your outlook on yoga, and it is also your first impression of yoga. Please keep an open mind about the schools handed down by different teachers and choose one that suits you.
An excellent yoga teacher is not only technically professional, but also has a keen personality, profound knowledge and charm, which will gradually penetrate into your life and bear fruitful results.
It doesn't matter if you can't keep up with your breathing or your body consciousness in the initial practice. Congratulations on getting along with yourself. You are willing to give yourself this love and attention. Don't compare with others, respect your body step by step, ensure a certain frequency of practice, and gradually deepen it, which will definitely become an indispensable way of linking body and mind in your life.
I want to say to those who are going to study yoga teaching and training: ask yourself first:
1. Why do I want to be a yoga teacher? What is your initial intention?
? 2. Do I love yoga?
? 3. What do I know about yoga?
4. What do I know about the future of yoga teachers?
5. What do you think a good yoga teacher should have?
6. What do you want to bring to the members? ?
7. Do you know the frequency of yoga teacher's class and the cost of further study?
I know that in the current yoga market, going to a few classes will be recommended as a yoga teacher, a well-paid and elegant career. I don't care what others say to you. How is your friend? I only care about you and what you really think. Along the way, I also like this job and the satisfaction it brings. At the same time, I also know this industry. I want to remind you sincerely and truly, not to persuade you to quit, but to hope that you can see your true inner voice and be mentally prepared. Only by understanding the pros and cons, your ultimate desire will lead you to the long-term and exciting.
I prefer to be called a teacher rather than a coach. As a teacher since ancient times, I have a sacred sense of responsibility, a responsibility to inherit myself and a deep guidance. Being a yoga teacher is a blessing and can teach people more peace of mind. Just like this, you need to study more and practice more to really have a good lesson.
If you are pure white, I suggest you study and practice first and ask yourself if you want it. Then consider teaching and training.
If you are a basic practitioner, want to convey your benefits and love for yoga, and still firmly believe that you will encounter bottlenecks, then congratulations and welcome.
If you study yoga teaching and training purely for the income of your career, please be clear first, it is not that there is a problem with this motivation, but that the future is different.
For the choice of institutions, it is more important to be a teacher, a professional teacher who is close to the source, can observe feelings and make more comparisons.
At present, most of them are in the form of accelerated training. The end of 200H hours is just the beginning, the beginning of entering the profession, and yoga is a lifelong practice. You need to build up your confidence and start studying and practicing here. I want to give all the newly graduated teachers a hug and encouragement. 1. Look for more opportunities to attend classes, even if it is public welfare. 2. Be sincere and frank, and present as much as possible. 3. Form your own style and don't copy. 4. Observe the needs of members and ask more questions. Settle down slowly, and when you feel that you have nothing to teach, stay relaxed. Yoga is not rigid, but a teacher's overall epitome, constantly learning and practicing. Don't blindly study genres, whether to follow the market or your own expertise, ask yourself well, once or twice a year, it is important to digest and learn deeply into the roots. There is also the acceptance and persistence of the bottleneck period. .....
I hope that with your study, you can pay more attention to the outside of asana (asana is equally important, but now too many people pay too much attention to it), such as meditation, breathing and chanting ... deeper and deeper.
Many excellent teachers have feelings of yoga and reject the commercialization of the market. What I want to say is that this is not an opposite thing in itself, but a matter of way and choice.
Finally, I wish every teacher can become a long-term practitioner, take good care of his body and balance input and output.
Whether teaching or learning is a wonderful thing. Think of love as love and let it really play a role in life.
