教瑜珈是分享,但不能只是分享

 

瑜珈老師各自有不同的教學風格,這是一個很合理的事。 

你學什麼、練什麼,你教出來的就會長得什麼樣子,沒有人可以包山包海包名牌。


很多人是帶著「分享」的心情開始教,分享的意思是- “我覺得這個很好,所以我把資訊分享給你。”


但是,當我們進入第二層思考,會發現初學者通常基於很信任,比較容易照單全收,「老師說什麼,我就覺得我該試試看。」


剛開始踏入瑜珈教學的老師,教完全的初學者,就像是高中生教小學生,綽綽有餘。但隨著時間推進,自己學得愈多,愈發知道自己的不足。 這個不足是因為你慢慢發現,每個人都是不同的,你不能用你有限的經驗去教千變萬化不同的人。 


所以就要繼續學習與精進,增進自己的專業深度,無論是要針對瑜珈身體解剖、不同種族族群年齡、各種專項運動、瑜伽哲學、修復療癒、各種生理系統的知識,都是瑜伽不同的精進道路。當你繼續精進和理解自己不是全能,才能替你的學生找到不偏頗的正確道路,才是一種教學者的負責任。


瑜珈教學是一種傳道授業解惑,可以帶著「分享」的初衷,也對於這個分享「負責」,把不同的練習,安全的放在適合的人身上。


能夠做到這些,應該可以走得長久且內心踏實。


和大家共勉之。


Yoga teachers each have their own unique teaching styles, which is completely natural. What you learn and practice shapes how you teach—no one can cover everything or master every approach.


Many people start teaching with a mindset of “sharing”—meaning, I think this is great, so I want to share it with you.


However, when we take a step further in our thinking, we realize that beginners, because they trust their teachers, often accept what they’re taught without much question. They may think, If the teacher says this, I should give it a try.


For new yoga teachers working with absolute beginners, it’s like a high school student teaching elementary school students—it’s more than manageable. But as time goes on and you learn more, you also become more aware of your own limitations. You begin to realize that every person is different, and you can’t rely solely on your limited experiences to teach an endless variety of students.


This is why ongoing learning and refinement are essential. Deepening your expertise—whether in yoga anatomy, working with different ethnicities, age groups, and athletic backgrounds, exploring yoga philosophy, therapeutic practices, or understanding various physiological systems—are all valuable paths of growth. As you continue to refine your knowledge and accept that you are not all-knowing, you will be able to guide your students toward the right path without bias. This is what it means to be a responsible teacher.


Yoga teaching is about guiding, educating, and helping students find clarity. While you can start with the intention of sharing, you must also take responsibility for what you share—ensuring that different practices are introduced safely and appropriately to those who need them.


By doing so, you can build a sustainable teaching career with confidence and peace of mind.


Let’s continue to grow together.
