Practice Point #6 - Teachers Practice

Today I want to answer Bernie from Ireland question.

When you practice with the teachers in the studio, are you each doing your own practice, or all doing the same thing? Who decides? Wondering if all teachers have a lot of knowledge and experience, does it become more discussion and less asanas? Or maybe that is useful?

Thanks, Bernie for your question and let me give a little background for those who a new to me and not sure what Bernie is asking about.

Each week all the teachers at the studio I teach at get together and practice together for 90 minutes.

What we do is always changing.

Because we have a senior teacher who owns the studio and runs the practice sessions it is driven by her.

Having said that I have a very open and not at all top-down senior teacher, so while she might be interested in exploring a particular thing in the practice it is a place to share.

Sometimes it is a led practice where we just follow.

Sometimes we are asked to contribute our understanding or experience.

Sometimes she hands the practice over to another teacher and they have to lead it.

Consistently it is a space to share, ask questions, learn and discover.

Yes sometimes it gets talky, but doing as we talk to the experience is had as well.
