"There's a difference between talking about yourself because you want to talk about yourself versus sharing your life in a way that helps others be brave and vulnerable and step into what's possible for them." - Anthony Chavez
As yoga teachers, we often juggle the fine line between dedication to practice and burning out. In a recent episode of 'Master Your Yoga Teaching,' host MaKenzie Fly sits down with Anthony Chavez, a human performance coach and distinguished yoga instructor, to untangle the complexities of balancing life's commitments with the passion for teaching yoga.
Chavez's remarkable journey from supporting large corporations to guiding yoga teachers towards balance and success provides a backdrop for the profound insights shared in the episode. He speaks to the soul of the yoga teaching profession, emphasizing the need for teachers to consistently refine their craft and infuse authenticity into their practice. 👊
In the realm of business, the aspiration to make a lucrative income while doing what one loves is often marred by the notion of unrealistic dreams. However, Chavez shatters this myth by mentoring yoga teachers to not only achieve financial success but also to experience time freedom and a balanced lifestyle that many yearn for.
A notable point of discussion between Fly and Chavez is the crucial distinction between judgment and discernment. Chavez compellingly argues for the significance of understanding one's values and establishing firm boundaries as the cornerstone of a rewarding teaching career.
The episode takes us deeper into the heart of teaching yoga, where Chavez harps on the importance of being genuine. 'Realness' in teaching – this concept echoes throughout the conversation, underscoring the idea that teachers should stay true to themselves and harness their unique stories to foster a profound connection with their students.
Adding a personal touch, both Fly and Chavez share invaluable lessons gleaned from parenthood that translate into themes for their classes. Their experiences underscore the power of personal narratives in crafting compelling and relatable class content.
The conversation shifts seamlessly to the role social media has played in enriching their decade-long friendship. Chavez and Fly discuss how it has facilitated mutual professional support and growth, reinforcing the belief in the boundless potential of positive connections.
Throughout the episode, voice calm and assured, Chavez delves into the sensitive issue of comparison amongst teachers. With compassion, he advocates for mudita, or sympathetic joy, which serves as a reminder to celebrate the achievements of fellow professionals as a way to elevate the community as a whole.
Chavez encourages the thoughtful integration of personal development with spiritual wisdom from various faith-based traditions. This synthesis is suggested as a path to not only elevate personal practice but also enhance the collective experience within the yoga community.
