What should my students carry after attending my Yoga Class?

Yes... ! You read it write. What should my students be carrying after attending your yoga class? Should it be "feeling happy", "Feeling Flexible" "Feeling not flexible, like my teacher", "I respect my body", "Wow, Yoga is too good" or anything else...

What would you like your students to feel at the end of the class? The outcome of your teaching. You have invested your time, money, energy to build this career for those a few hours wherein you are passionate to teach and spread Yoga. And you love the process of teaching where in you get opportunities to share the wisdom of yoga life. It feels great. But Have you ever thought how should they feel? 

Yoga Inspiration goes beyond the Mat

That's not enough!

All the above emotions at the end of every yoga class is beautiful, but not enough. These emotions can be created by teaching any other field, and not just Yoga. After attending a fitness class/dance class/ painting/ music, they feel "happy" if you were good. But Yoga carries something beyond than these emotions... 

Feeling Inspired!

Do your students feel inspired after meeting you? Do they find you a source of motivation? Do they love the way you handle every situation in your life? Do they think "what my yoga teacher would have done now" during their difficulties?

If yes, you have been achieving the goals of being a yoga teacher. 

They should carry the inspiration to bring the happiness, beauty beyond the mat. 

Yoga Teacher is an Optometrist (Eye Doctor)

After attending your yoga classes for an hour or two everyday, they start looking at the same life with a different perspective. You have the ability to change their perspective. You change the way they treat the life and the life becomes more beautiful and clear. They find easy to live, love and lead the life on the right track. You change the way they think and they change their ways to love and the whole world changes slowly, but steadily towards positivity. 

Hence, we, the yoga teachers have the ability to change the world and it is our responsibility to do so. If not, we might limit ourselves to a fitness teacher. Once, we were inspired by a beautiful yoga teacher and became the reason for all the happiness. And now it's our turn to make our student's lives beautiful. 

Life is beautiful and it is not worth if it is not lived beautifully...
