Guest teacher highlight: Who is my teacher?

Andrea Fotopoulos is keeping with the middle road through the pandemic.

One of the biggest silver linings of the pandemic has been an increase in the responsibility of the yoga student -- a step toward “studentship”, Andrea shares. She cites the pandemic as enabling an evolutionary growth of the student-teacher relationship, which expands on the “who is my teacher” question. 

She also shares from her own personal experience this past year: “We can’t see the light if we didn’t have the dark... it’s the recognition that these things live side by side and the sitting with what IS for me, instead of what I wish it was... Reflection is possible only when we see one with the other.”

We talk about the “ISness of things” and how it applies to our yoga practice and specifically what it means to be “strong” in your practice. 

​Plus, Andrea shares how she gets her “personal hits” and builds her kula as well as making yoga accessible to all. We can’t wait to welcome Andrea and her retreaters in November!
