My proudest moment in yoga happened in my 200 hour teacher training course. The teacher went around asking each student if they planned on becoming teachers after the course was finished. Many students said “yes” and a lot of others said “no, not for me, I am just here to deepen my practice.” We were half way through the course and that day the teacher said, we were ready to teach each other. We split up into pairs and were each given a pose to instruct to the other student. The pose I was assigned was Virabhadrasana II (Warrior pose). I read through the manual, memorized all the points. I needed to make, starting instructing my student. We began from the feet, to the legs, hips, torso, arms, shoulders, neck breath- and voila! It was like the clouds had parted over my head and a beam of sunlight came shining down on my student who, with my instruction, achieved her pose! I could not have been more delighted. That truly was my most proud moment as a yogi because in that moment I became a yoga teacher. That was the first time I took the yoga knowledge out of my mind and body and placed it into someone else’s body. The feeling was ecstasy. I know for many yogis, their proudest moment is when they’ve achieved a pose they’ve been working on for months and I too feel good about myself when I achieve a pose, but nothing, absolutely nothing makes me more proud than to help YOU achieve yours.
