August 30, 2021 - Jane & I just finished teacher a 5-day intensive for the UVM Yoga Teacher Training. One of the things that I find so valuable in the training is the students having the experience of being seen, and practicing seeing each other. At the end of the training everyone walked around, cocktail party-style, and shared with each of the other students something they appreciated about them. It was so sweet, and it obviously meant a lot to the students. It was an example of how much people appreciate being seen…it feels good. :-)
In an individual yoga practice, you can still practice seeing by enjoying seeing yourself. It can feel really good to look at yourself as the cool, interesting person you are, just like other people would see you if they just spent 5-days in a yoga training with you. Enjoy the practice. :-)
