Taking my yoga to a whole new level

After many years of practising yoga, I've decided to take the plunge. It makes total sense to me, as a complement to my life coaching practice, to teach yoga. Not that every coachee will want yoga, or at least not necessarily from me, but it makes sense to offer a more holistic approach. I know this from my own experience. The focus and energy that yoga creates for you, can give you the strength of mind (and body) to tackle change. Sometimes change is easy, of course, it’s just a matter of identifying what you really want or need in your life. But some changes take a great deal of strength and preparation. Sometimes you need to warm up’ to the idea.  And some are a little in between.

Teaching yoga is one of my personal life goals. I set this goal very recently. The idea of it had flitted in and out of my head for some time, of course, but I did what most people do, I laughed it off. Really, me, teach? “Don’t be silly”, said the negative little voice of my inner critic. I let it fob me off, several times, before remembering that I’m actually a coach. I know how to deal with pesky voices in my head (not actual voices, you understand). So I sat down and used some of the coaching tools on myself, dealing with my limiting beliefs (I’m not bendy enough, I don’t know enough about the history of yoga, I’ll never remember all those Sanskrit names, etc) and I looked at how it fits in with my values and my overall health/life balance goals. And do you know what? It fitted in very nicely, thank you very much. Of course, it wasn’t just a simple “oh, I’ll do this” and then it happens. No, no, no, my friend. A coach doesn’t wave a magic wand, the coachee (me in both cases this time) has to then go do some work towards the goal/s. But consider this, from a standing start in mid-January, when it was nothing but a dream, I am poised to begin my training. Tomorrow, in fact. How exciting!
