Let's look into the minds of our Yoga students. What do they need most? What are the most valuable gifts we can leave behind for our Yoga students? Is it something expensive? Would they benefit most from an electronic gift?
Many people look at the word "gift" as a tangible present, but you can give Yoga students good memories and valuable lessons, which last a life time. Below are a few priceless gifts for Yoga students.
Instill enough positive energy within them to become their own best Yoga teacher. A Yoga student must learn to develop full awareness of his or her physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional health. Never hold back any information, which will benefit a Yoga student's health or success. Yoga teachers are a guide toward a healthy and successful life. Students must be encouraged to independently think for themselves.
Praise students, when it is earned. Whenever a student tries his or her best, you should acknowledge the effort with praise. When you praise, you instill self-worth in your Yoga students. Self-worth is a must, for any person to find a valuable purpose in life.
Take the time to observe everything possible and give an assist when needed. This does not only apply to physical assists in Asana practice. When you see a student who could use encouragement, make sure you are a motivator.
Create a haven within your Yoga classes. Students should expect an atmosphere without pretense, intolerance, or sarcasm, in your classes. It should be a pure joy to learn Yoga from you.
