Trust your gut with the people you surround yourself with and ESPECIALLY trust it with the teachers & healers you choose to work with.
If you get a weird feeling as soon as you step into a studio, something seems off with a teacher, or icky vibes from a healer, TRUST YOUR GUT and nope the hell out of there.
Just because someone has completed a training or ten, as students, we often assume that it is safe to work with them and we allow them authority over our bodies and energy. We have had countless shitty experiences with teachers or energy workers and thought something was wrong with US, but on the other end, we’ve learned that not every teacher/healer is right for every student, and that it’s on us to be empowered about who we work with and trust with our bodies and energy.
JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE IS A YOGA TEACHER, DOESN’T MEAN THEY’RE NOT AN ASSHOLE
We have also fallen into this trap assuming someone was safe because they had so many devoted students, but those “big” teachers aren’t immune from this either. Even if a teacher has a huge following, if someone doesn’t make you feel good, don’t work with them. There’s plenty of other ones to choose from, and we promise there is someone else out there that’s right for you.
