Getting Ready For Work

I am enjoying the time before I teach yoga at noon and then go into my "day job". I'm drinking mate and reading about Ayurveda. I found the below quote on an Ayurvedic website and enjoyed it.

I am trying to add something more to my yoga classes and thought maybe different quotes that are related to the philosophy of yoga would be a nice way to end my classes. Whenever I get into a funk and do not want to go into teach a yoga class, after getting down to the root of why, I realize it is fear. I get afraid that I am not that good, that I need to all of a sudden change what I have been doing in class. I really enjoy teaching yoga but my mind sometimes needs more, I want to keep learning. I do read and keep my self growing in that sense but feel I want the guidance of an actual person. I really want to take ATTC but must wait until my contract with my day job is done in November.

"Sometimes we need to take a few steps back in order to get a running start. We make mistakes, and as long as we learn from those mistakes, we progress, we grow. Eventually we get to a point where we can look back and see how far we’ve come. Then we can turn back around and see how far we have to go!"
