\"What<\/a>The Guardian’s Weekend magazine’s regular article What I’m really thinking<\/em> <\/em>is often an interesting perspective and insight into someone’s life.\u00a0 On 14th December the article revealed the innermost secrets of a Yoga Teacher. As a yoga teacher myself, I was intrigued. More so as a student had texted me asking had I\u00a0seen it.\u00a0 As I read, I could hardly believe the content was serious.<\/h2>\n

The\u00a0author seemed indeed to have a suspect sense of humour at the expense of their students.\u00a0I even burst out laughing at some\u00a0of the\u00a0ridiculous and farcical thoughts.\u00a0 This yoga teacher is enough to put off\u00a0me<\/em> going to try out the benefits of any yoga class – and I’m convinced that yoga can help all of us\u00a0one way or another.\u00a0With that as my motivation, I, like all other yoga teachers I know, try to address our students’ needs thoughtfully with\u00a0positivity and empathy, not cynical judgment as expressed in the article.\u00a0That\u00a0picture of a yoga teacher is not the norm even if you take the view it was simply written to get a cheap laugh.<\/h2>\n
