DON'T Fake It Till You Make It - As a Teacher and in Life

Follow the Yogi's Path: Unveiling Inner Bliss with Vikky Santana

We receive many of our cues from society. We've heard them so much we may not even question them. One of my least favorites is "fake it till you make it." It fosters duplicity, shame, guilt and as a yoga teacher, being OK with appearing like we know things. This may translate into teaching things or taking on clients even though our skill set may not be up to par. Adopting this mindset is inauthentic at best, dishonest and potentially dangerous to our students.
We may not even know that we're doing it or how this can negatively affect us, our students and the ripple effect it creates. Listen on and see how "fake it till you make it" is the complete opposite of non-harming and truthfulness which are two guiding principles for teaching and living.
