I'm very certain you would not set out to intentionally hurt anyone. The term "mean" was a poor one on my part. I was writing as though I were that student, and I'd be hacked off if it were me. Shows you how well I deal with detachment.<br /><br />"It's hard. I feel like I'm failing in my job if I don't help nurture students to their full potential." -- I do understand that. When I was practicing regularly (miss those days), I'm sure I heard every single instructor talk about how we as students needed to push ourselves farther. Whether it was a pep talk to the entire class before Pranayama, or by calling corrections to an individual ("... come on Mark, lock that knee!"), they were trying to get us to be the best we could be. You are correct in saying that it would be mean to sit back and do nothing. You undertook training to teach us how to break loose of the things that hold us back and help us be not just great yogis or yoginis, but become better humans -- in AND out of the room. Never stop striving for that goal. I always look forward to reading your blog!! Thanks for making me think.<br />Namaste.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04637896164200260791noreply@blogger.com
