Affirmation: My Students Just Want to Feel Better

Jul 20, 2024

Yoga teacher: your students don’t come to class to judge you. It’s not about you at all! They just want to feel better during and after class. When you start to think you need to make class harder, faster, more “sophisticated,” remember that it’s about your students’ experience and simple is better.

Decenter yourself, drop the story, and offer your students what they need, not what you need. They just want to feel better.
