“There are many goals but one path – the path
of compassion.”
~ Amit Ray
One of my
favorite yoga teachers is not only a terrific instructor, but also very attuned
to what is going on in her class. She
will guide her students through the poses, encourage them to stretch and urge
people to take it more slowly when they need to. She also knows everyone’s names and will
compliment students by name for their progress and poses. During a recent class, the youngest student –
an 11-year-old boy – accidentally knocked over his water bottle. It was closed, but I imagine that he was
self-conscious about the noise. Seconds
later, the instructor complimented him on a pose.
