Change is the Only Certainty...in Yoga

We’re so happy to be back for Season 2!There's that old adage, "Change is the only certainty in life." And it applies to your yoga practice and teaching, too. This week, Jason and I are talking about the internal challenges, doubts, and insecurities that come up when we're managing change in our practice.We talk about:* How Jason has changed as a student and a teacher throughout the years. He shares one transition that was particularly hard for him as a young teacher* He gives advice for people who are hard on themselves after a shift because they feel disillusioned about some of the beliefs or techniques they were teaching previously* Why Jason dislikes the word “master” (as in “yoga master”) and what happened in his life that empowered him to start experimenting with changing up yoga traditions and sharing his findings with his students* The struggles that come with the evolution of modern yoga in the social media age* Why it’s problematic for teachers to discourage their students from experimenting with other teachers and other ways of practicingShow notes: http://www.jasonyoga.com/podcast/episode148/SHOUT-OUT TO OUR SPONSORS1.
