How can yoga instructors reduce stress and practice mindfulness?

I resonate with all the points above. For me, putting my yoga practice and self-care at the forefront has been pivotal to be able to create a nurturing space for my students. The gratitude for what I do for a living and the joy I derive from my students' success stories and breakthroughs keep my spirits high. I am passionate about what I do, and being of service to others is a rewarding experience that continually enriches my journey.

I think the best way to deal with stress is Self-discipline. Consistency in practice of Yoga, Meditation and Mindfulness would give us strength to deal with unreasonable behaviours and situations. Journaling too helped me to release my thoughts and let go of such instances and my reaction or response to it.

Stress comes out of negative emotions ,one way to move away from it is to have positive outlook ,the other thing I would add is to have a minimalist approach ,practicing gratitude and being thankful to everything you got.

Stay in the moment and be mindful of your breathe and how it effects your choices and thoughts. When you feel unsteady and your breath becomes rapid or shallow you could potentially create a level uncontrollable stress. Practice mindful meditation daily , in the morning for 15 minutes to get you regulated for events and unexpected issues and at night to wind down and stay calm to improve sleep and lessen over stimulated thinking. Try this for 40 days consecutively.

Gratitude helps in seeing the best side of us and others. When we see specialities of others we improve our self-worth. Gratitude also helps us to appreciate our blessings and generate happiness.

Always with you,.. remember my quotes! “As we all learn new ways of going about things,.. We all have mental health” “Be kind with your words are reflection of who you are” “There is only one way positivity” “See all obstacles as opportunities” Balancing the mind set to happy medium Enjoy your life

I learned over the years not to be resentful or feeling rejected when students are not coming regularly. In the beginning it stressed me a lot. Over the years I have established gratitude for everyone who is coming. For classes where I teach only for 2 or 3 people, I feel gratitude and I know that even if I serve only one person, this one person is worth being served. These intimate classes can be very helpful and it be that this one person needed exactly that. The energy know we serve exactly what was needed is so powerful and totally reducing the teachers stress and creating a stronger mindset.

Being able to look at things on the micro level helps build the foundation of gratitude. Appreciation of the little things compounds.

We always have self critique in us who expect the best from us. We are never able to match his expectations. Instead we start looking at ourselves with compassion, it's the first stage of self-love. Those who love themselves will love the world more.

The old addage kindness does start at home and it needs to start with ourselves. Mom's need to learn to give themselves Grace.

Yes! And often it can get busy where we don’t prioritize our own practice. Going to another yoga teacher’s class is great: especially go to a hot yoga class and just let it all go.

I totally agree. After taking care of others we also need to practice self care as well. The wellness center I teach at offers free classes for instructors, which helps us to concentrate on our own practice as well as helps us to promote each other.

I can see a big difference in my teachings when I do my own meditation before class or even have a meditation session with a client before teaching yoga. The fact being already in a state that helps to tap into our intuition and teaching through intuition is very powerful. As a teacher it is very important being relaxed, grounded and mindful.

Spending time with myself in silence is a great form of relaxation as it helps us to reflect on our thoughts, actions and behaviour. It provides us perspectives which helps us to release negative energy.

I’ve rediscovered the essential nature of relaxation and self-love as I move into my next Rites of Passage, PeriMenopause. As the days grow colder and darker during the Autumn, I prepare my mind and body with a few cleansing, invigorating rituals - in this exact order. 1. Meditation & Deep Breathing in the steam room. Not only does the steam room offer deep relaxation, it also reduces inflammation, aids in maintaining healthy weight, improves breathing, and keeps skin, hydrated and glowing. 2. Taking a cold shower. This ancient practice, helps combat the ‘winter blues’, improves immunity and improves circulation. 3. Soaking tired, sore muscles in the jacuzzi. 4. Gentle self-massage and stretching in the dry sauna with EO. ????

I slightly disagree. Many a time we use others to offload our stress and in turn make them our psychic garbage bag. This also affects their thoughts. I feel spending time alone with divine energy, powerful souls, people with high positivity without sharing our challenges helps us to deal with our situation better.

As for every human being, I think connection is necessary also for yoga teachers. A certain connection after or before class with my students is helpful to create a connection with them, figuring out what they need. I do not melange my own personal need of connection into my work. My connections I am finding in my private circle, or connecting by going to other yoga classes as a student and receiving there what I need on the level of a student, a peer.

Community is imperative to Longevity. The sense of common values makes people feel connected which in turn grows their Sphere of purpose in LiFe.

Be clear about what stress is self-generated, like self-imposed deadlines. These are not etched in stone, but can be modified when needed.
