A Message to Our Students, From the MOYO Teaching Team….

We are an eclectic group of teachers… eclectic in background, approach, emphasis and personality. We are unified in our core principles, dedication to our practice and love for teaching the Moyo community. This blog is dedicated to our students; to share why we teach and express our gratitude for the privilege of guiding you through your practice.

• Yoga is an art of self-expression… teaching provides me with a vehicle to share my yogic experiences.

• Teaching yoga allows me to practice seeing my true self. When I guide others in their practice and allow myself to be vulnerable, I tap into a part of me I don’t usually expose. In teaching the children, I experience the most about what life is really worth living for — expression, truth, pure delight. Pus I ADORE the energy and love of the community!

• Yoga turns me on! It lights me up! Yoga transforms me physically, emotionally and spiritually. I teach to share the experience of freedom and peace present in a yoga practice.

• I teach because I honor the integrity of each pose yoked to simple, steady breath. By feeling the sensation right here & now, we uncover the tenacity to face our truth (pain, desire, joy, hope and fear.) This authenticity demands surrender to this moment and calls for right action in our lives. It is here that we discover the capacity of love. I teach to hold this space for others, deepening their experience and mine.

• The teaching of yoga is my foremost method of practice. When I teach I’m there, in the moment, letting what is inside out. Filter free, but entirely witnessed.

• Something comes out from within me when I teach – perhaps its love… Love for the students, love for the community and all we have created at Moyo. My cache of love just spreads as I lead the class through their practice. Teaching brings out the best in me, so I can live a full and complete loving life.

• Yoga allows me to be in tune with my inner truth. When I teach, I share this whole body experience to help others find their truth. I feel the superficial layers peel away, revealing our inner potential. This allows us to connect together in beauty and light. May we continue on our spiritual journeys together, realizing we are all LOVE. SAT NAM!

•  When I teach Yoga, I know that we are all divinely connected in this journey called LIFE. The students are my teachers. When I practice yoga, it is with the hope that what I learn, I will be able to share with my students. We share the circle together student and teacher; like Yin and Yang, divinely connected.

• I believe that it is through our children that we set examples on how we want the world to be.  That is why I teach yoga to children.  It is by giving them this tool that I know I have made a difference in their lives now and in the future.

• Teaching for me is helping others find awareness and live from the heart with authenticity to connect us as one.

• Teaching yoga enables me to give back to others what I find during my own practice, a love of self without judgments and criticisms. Someday that part will shine thru but for now it’s a constant struggle that I am challenged with every day. I hope to enable others (as well as myself) to recognize the path we are on is truly where you are supposed to be and that everything we are seeking in life, sits within… We are beautiful in every way!

• Yoga inspires, invigorates AND calms me.  It brings balance, harmony and JOY to my life!  I love yoga!!!  It is my most sincere hope to share all of these feelings with my students and that they too will fall in love with yoga!  A day with yoga is ALWAYS a better day! ~ Namaste
