Why I Love to Teach Yoga to Beginners

Blog, Inspiration, Yoga

If you are a yoga teacher, you know that the beginner yoga student is most adaptable and can learn quickly. Something about the beginner’s mind allows for new information and ideas to be absorbed easily. 

I love teaching yoga to beginners because their minds are the most adaptable. When you are new to yoga, everything is novel, and there is so much to learn.

So educationally, sociologically, religiously, human beings are taught to struggle. You are told that to find God, you must work, discipline, do practice, twist and torture your soul, your mind, your body, deny, suppress; that you must not look; that you must fight, fight, fight at that so-called spiritual level—which is not the spiritual level at all.
