Feel free to watch or revisit this week’s session and share anything that resonated with you.
We explored facilitator voice through “I” statements, reflected on Samadhi (bliss), and revisited Ayurveda as a tool for self-care and balance.
You’re welcome to share freely, or respond to one of these prompts:
- What came up for you during the “I” statement reflection? How does your voice as a facilitator feel right now?
- How do you relate to the idea of Samadhi as moments of presence or connection, rather than something to achieve?
- Did anything shift in how you view self-care through the lens of Ayurveda?
- What support do you feel you need as you move toward completion of the training?
You’re also welcome to use this space to share questions or topics you’d like to revisit in our final session.
I loved the reflection questions at the beginning of this session! I am becoming a trauma informed and healing centered yoga facilitator stopped me in my tracks and left me with such a sense of gratitude and truly feeling proud of myself. I also really appreciated the format of the self-care check in. I think the questions in that check in are very helpful and can be done anywhere/anytime to check in with self which I appreciate a self-care practice that doesn't require full stop while life continues to move around me. Thank you Jen!
I could relate to the feeling of imposter syndrome when going through the statements, like I know that I'm "becoming" but I'm definitely still unsure in my ability to teach. It didn't help that I was explaining to my aunt that I was becoming a yoga facilitator, and she literally has no idea what I've been learning over the past few months or anything about my practice but she says "You don't know enough about yoga to teach it!" It was a punch to the gut, like I'm already doubting myself I don't need help in that aspect (haha). But I also know her, and have to take it with a grain of salt. She doesn't do yoga herself, so it wasn't like it was coming from a place of knowledge. Anyways, it just rubbed me the wrong way and I'm trying to move past it. I feel like I did pretty well with my facilitation final, I got a lot of great feedback but also some praise and that boosted my confidence a lot. I can't believe we're almost to the end of this class and it makes me a little sad but also super grateful for the experience and education, I feel like it's not just made me a better yoga facilitator but also a better human. I really enjoyed the discussion of Ayurveda, I've been really curious about it for a while and this introduction to it makes me want to dive deeper. I love how it emphasizes balance and finding what you need in a daily practice, because I've noticed my own needs change every day and every season but I haven't been able to really name that until now. Looking forward to earning my certificate and proving my aunt wrong that I CAN facilitate yoga!
