At times, navigating the new teacher space can feel pretty helpless. Donโt rush. ๐
It takes experience and time.
Seek support and help from mentors and teachers.
Remember, yoga is a lifelong journey both for you and your students.
As long as you focus on the LEARNING, both as a practitioner and a teacher, you are a good teacher, and you will get better at it. ๐
