Episode 61: When You Are Teaching You Are Creating Impressions – Prashant Iyengar

Send us Fan MailThis episode is an absolute must-listen for anyone who teaches yoga, and for any practitioner of yoga as well.In this thought-provoking conversation, Prashant Iyengar reminds us that teaching is about far more than conveying techniques, postures, or information. Every interaction with a student leaves an impression, and with that comes a profound responsibility. As teachers, we are not only transmitting methods; we are shaping how students understand and relate to yoga itself.Prashantji speaks about the importance of Shastra as a living tradition of wisdom, one that has been handed down through generations and must be approached with humility, respect, and ongoing study. He also emphasizes that students are not objects to be instructed, but human beings to be guided with love, care, and sensitivity.This conversation challenges us to reflect deeply on what it means to teach, what it means to learn, and how we can honor the tradition while serving the students who come to us.Please enjoy this episode of On the Light.If you enjoy On the Light, please consider liking, sharing, and subscribing.
