21 Day Yoga Challenge: Day 19 – A Nod to the Rigorous Teachers!
Yoga
(c)Melanie Parish, 2013
I want to take a moment to thank the teachers at Moksha who have given so much to me in the last 19 days. They have been welcoming, helpful, kind and encouraging in a way that I have never experienced before. They have been a powerful and sweet force in this challenge. They are helping me change my life.
I notice some of the teachers go above and beyond in every class. They are using every minute to correct a pose, push us forward, call us forth. I love this kind of rigor and their words stay with me class after class. How to align my body in a pose. How one body part needs to be over another body part. Can I see my toes?
I particularly appreciate Erin. She is creative and uses some variations that make her class a little harder physically. But even though I am completely stretched and pushed to my limits, her classes work for me as a beginner. She pushes just a little extra and as I write this morning, I am so appreciative of her happy style. She makes yoga fun!
Having a teacher who will ask me to stretch a little more, improve a pose, and talk to everyone about how the pose can be improved, really ups the game for us all.
