I evolved from teaching perfection to teaching acceptance. That is the summary of my journey into yoga teaching. As a professional dancer and dance teacher, it was contrary to my own yoga practice to constantly be critical of others bodies and progress in the hopes of achieving a "perfect" picture on the stage. One day it just clicked. TEACH ACCEPTANCE. I had to understand how to apply it to myself first. Once that lesson took root, my development as a teacher of yoga really began.
