Yoga teachers - Help ourselves first, before we can help others...

If we think we are a 'yoga teacher' who is teaching 'yoga' to other people, what do we teach to the yoga students when ourselves is being over-powered by fear that derived from ignorance towards the truth of names and forms, and generate attachment towards this life existence, this body and mind, and everything (relationship, health, career, money, acknowledgement, achievement, love and support, connection...) that we think they 'belong' to us, full of fear and worry every moment, afraid of losing something 'good and positive' that we love, and getting something 'bad and negative' that we don't want?

We need to help ourselves to be free from ignorance first, before we can help others to be free.

Om shanti.
