How do we as teachers, yoga or otherwise, let our students find their own way, but still convey in a way that is heard that some things are best not experienced?
I told her she would not enjoy jumping up on the utility sink, but did Maitri listen?
A friend who was a skilled gardener whose taste in gardening ran to the subtle and quiet (think Vita Sackville-West’s all white garden at Sissinghurst), used to tease me for my attraction to lush, tropical blooms.
There is a time and place for everything in this world–the quiet and demure, the loud and outrageous.
The wider range we can appreciate, and the better we can know the optimal use and place for things, the better we will flow and dance and integrate into the joyous possibilities in the fabric of being.

I went to the first day of a weekend workshop with Amy Matthews, co-director of the Breathing Project, at Willow Street Yoga. As always when I go up to Willow Street, it is always good to see friends from the shared practice and study of yoga.
The workshop is providing much to peak my curiosity to explore in my practice and to refine and improve my teaching. I liked that when talking about teaching, Amy Matthews said that her goal is to empower her students to keep themselves safe.
As students, we are ultimately responsible for taking care of ourselves as we practice. If we do not assume that responsibility, we cannot experience fully what we are trying to know/learn.
