Last June, I did a 200-hr teacher certification program. It was intense and uplifting. For a time I thought I might teach afterward, but I think that is giving me a mental block on practicing now. There is a voice in my head saying “this is what a teacher’s practice should look like” and it’s 3 hours a day, and quite unrealistic for me. What I likely need is to shake the teacher stance and the self-judgment, and step into some self-forgiveness on my mat. Just let the practice flow, and stop hearing my teachers telling me what my practice should be. Take time to observe what is happening in my body, and give myself what I need. Simplify and drop my expectations. Make room for imperfection.
