280 - How to Start Teaching Yoga

Finding your audience, your confidence, and your voice as a yoga teacher is a process. It means a whole lot of learning--how to lead a room, how to sequence well, how to trust the practice and ourselves, and so much more. And it means doing a lot of stuff wrong so we can learn to do stuff right. 

Today we're gonna talk about how to begin.

Bonnie Weeks (she/her) (00:01.038)
I am so delighted to be here with you because today we're going to talk about how to start teaching. How do you start teaching? And I'm going to give this to those people who are hesitating, stepping in front of the room, or maybe you've taught a couple of times and you're terrified and you're wondering where to begin. And maybe it's hard to even step into a studio

There could be a lack of studios where you're at or a lack of teaching opportunities in the studios that exist. And depending on where you're at and what country you live in, there is a wide variety of what type of yoga is available or what type of yoga people are used to. And in some places in the world, a studio is a single person. Another place in the world, a studio is multiple people. So whether you're creating this for yourself or you're creating this as part of a team,

Whether you are haven't stepped in the room at all or you just beginning this is for you So how do you begin teaching? Now the things that I'm to talk about today really could be applied to so many areas Because we know that beginning anything has a crossover between the subject matter, but of course I'm here for the yoga teachers. I'm here to help you own the hell out of your voice. So welcome to the podcast

Welcome to you stepping into owning your voice as you lead the room. And there's a lot of things that happen when you are gonna stand in front of the room and maybe things that you do not expect. Actually, that's 100 % gonna happen. You are going to have things that you do not expect or could ever plan on that will happen when you step into being a teacher. You're gonna see things, hear things, experience things. You're like, well, now that has happened today. That's great. So please bring your humor.

Bring your flexibility, bring your grace, because you're gonna need it all. Yeah? I'm gonna start us with a story. My youngest kid is 14 years old and we are at the very end, as I'm recording this, we're at the very end of school and he's in eighth grade. And we are wrapping up the lacrosse season and then also doing some spring training for football. And he's gonna be going to high school this next year, so grade nine. And I'm very excited.

Bonnie Weeks (she/her) (02:23.116)
And this is also my last kid. This is my third kid. So I know that this next four years is going to fly by and then all of my kids will be gone. I'll be an empty nester, which is wild and also very exciting. And he is starting spring training with the high school football folks. That's kind of a big deal. Like, my gosh, he was like, not a baby. Right. So last week he had a whole week of learning.

defense and he's been the center on offense in this last grade. And this week is going to be offense. Okay. So queue up two nights ago, two nights ago, he went out into my garage gym slash studio and I have whiteboard out there. love whiteboards. love creating a whole idea plan on whiteboards and he wanted me to

take a picture of what was on the whiteboard and erase it so that he could use it. And he wanted to show me the plays that he was learning. So I erased it and we sat down and he pulled up this yoga prop, actually he had the yoga prop thing for a while, then he pulled the bench over and he's sitting down, he's totally going coach mode. He has the whiteboard marker and a fresh whiteboard and it's on wheels. his wheels are locked and he is ready.

And he's drawn shapes on the board and point out positions and he names all the positions for me. And he names the plays and he explains the place and he's drawn arrows and boxes and shading different parts and the shade and the pinch and the blitz. And there's a mo and there's a mic and a wheel spot. And I'm learning so much about football locations and points in the field and what's happening. And he's played football for a couple of years, but he's never sat the whiteboard.

and had me as an audience where he wanted to walk me through the thing and show me. And I said, okay, show me. And for then me to sit there, I went to one, I think I went to one high school football game when I was in high school. It's not been a thing that I regularly go to, but because of him, now I am learning football. So as a parent, there's such a gift of sitting with your kids.

Bonnie Weeks (she/her) (04:48.994)
while they do something or teach you something that has not maybe your thing. I remember when my oldest was about 10 and he had figured out how to solve a Rubik's Cube. And I sat with him at the table for probably two hours and sat there and let him teach me how to solve the Rubik's Cube. And I solved that thing. I think I did it one more time after that and now I have forgotten, but there's like a whole pattern. have to memorize it and do the things.

But the point is I sat there and my youngest is walking me through the football defense and the hand symbols for what means what. And then he was quizzing me. He made a list of five or six different things. said, okay, what does it mean if I do this, this, this, this, this, if I say these things? So then I had to explain what the defense would do if those things were called out.

and where they would go and who was covering what and the names. I had to name all the positions on the field, which I had no idea. Like, did you know that there is a position called the nose? Like if you're the nose player, there's a particular position on the field that that's your spot. That's what you're called, the nose. So I knew none of these things.

And the cool part about this, there could be several cool takeaways, but one of the cool parts about this is my nerdiness of loving teaching and of observing people who are stoked about their things is that my youngest kid is stoked about what he's learning. And you want to know one of the best ways to learn something? To teach it. Because when you teach it, you have to explain it. You have to own it in a new sort of way.

And because you're repeating it, it's ingraining it in you. And if other people are asking you questions and you're willing to sit there and answer it and then to double guess yourself and then to double check and then to double explain all the doubling, all the repetition, you are fueling your own learning as you teach. And I sat here with my 14 year old as he walked through all of the things and I learned so much. But really there was a part of me that

Bonnie Weeks (she/her) (07:10.156)
I just gotta sit there and giggle at his fucking cuteness. Like he's so cute and he's so excited about it. And do I really care about football that much now? And I really care about him. And I knew that me sitting there, even if I had other shit to do, was helping him learn because I know what it's like to step into a teaching seat. And I know what it's like.

that once I teach a thing, I learn it. And giving him the opportunity to teach me something was connecting us in this small moment of teacher and student, but I knew the benefit that it was giving him. Hands down. So with that as our story to step in here today, I hope you teach when especially you are lit up.

because people will be moved when you are moved. I'm sure you can feel it, right? When somebody is in the room and they are stoked about what they're talking about, or you might hear somebody and be in a totally different conversation, but out of like corner of the room or somewhere, somewhere you're not part of a conversation, you can hear somebody and their voice gets excited. You can feel.

the conversation inside their body from across the room. You can see it bubbling out of them. They have this power in them. When they are moved, it moves others.

And so often we apologize for the love of a thing that we have and for the nerdiness of it. like, is that too much? That's what I mean by the nerdy stuff. Is it too much? Am I too much? Will people want to really listen to me? Y'all, lean the fuck in. When you are moved, others are moved and you do not have to apologize for your joy of doing the damn thing. It is the thing that will change people.

Bonnie Weeks (she/her) (09:18.754)
The thing that feels like it's coming through you and lighting you up, that's going to light other people up. And if you are ready to teach yoga, if you're like, my gosh, yes. But then there's like, you know, maybe there's some nuts and bolts sort of thing. And we're like, I just don't know how to do this. Know how to do that. There are some times that learning and learning and learning and learning is just procrastination to do the damn thing because you're actually just fucking scared to stand up in front of the room and I get it. I get it. So what do you do? Yeah.

I want you to create an audience out of anyone who will listen. Now this doesn't mean we're going to coerce people and then like, be like, yeah, I got you. Ready? Let's go talk yoga. Right? Like be there with us, right? But create an audience. Do not be afraid to talk about the thing that you love. Your joy gets to exist. And the more you talk about it, the more people ask you about it, you're going to have like this check and be like, Oh, Hey, are you doing that thing? Yeah. And also

People tell you weird things as a yoga teacher and they'll of course say they can't touch their toes and then you can tell them that it doesn't matter if you can touch your toes. And actually I'm pretty sure you could. So maybe just reply with like, actually, I'm sure you can touch your toes. Just bend your knees. Tell them to their knees first, bend your knees, reach over, touch your toes. You know how to have straight legs to touch your toes. So you could actually come to yoga. So like people are going to say things, right? But create an audience out of anyone who will listen.

Let your joy bubble up. I love when I meet somebody to ask them like, what's exciting to you right now? What's exciting in your world? What are you making that's lightening up? right. Lean into that. Do not apologize for your joy and let it be small. I think sometimes we have full send dreams. like, my gosh, ready, set, go. Here's the vision. This is what I want to build. This is how I want to build it. This is how many people I want to involve. This is where I want to go with it.

We can work ourselves up into the amount of work we have to do to do all of those things. When really all we need to do is right here, right now where our feet are. So start small, start small and be with the people that you are with and show up for them. What did they need right here? One of the things that I am going to be beginning is I originally started teaching classes here in my garage studio.

Bonnie Weeks (she/her) (11:45.518)
and I haven't for a while, but that's, taught for a whole year before I even started teaching yoga in the studios. I taught for a whole year before I even got certified as a yoga teacher. And people said that they wanted to learn with me because I was already training them. They were coming over for strength training. They're like, teach us yoga. And I said, well, if you just want to do what I would do, then otherwise I don't know. Like that's all, I don't really know how to teach yoga besides that. And they're like, great, we'll come.

So I'd have like 12 moms that would come over after the kids went to bed on a Tuesday night, like eight o'clock and they would come over for an hour and do yoga. What a freaking gift. What a gift. And so recently I've been talking to some of the neighbor parents and they wanna come and do yoga on Sundays. How many people in your neighborhood practice yoga?

Maybe that's scary. You're like, my gosh. But then do I charge them if they're my neighbors and I've sent help? Yes. Yes, you do. You can make it easy. And also you don't have to. Money conversation is a different conversation. Am I going to charge them? Yeah. And I'm to create it as a regular thing. Totally. And it's going to be a Sunday morning for like people who are like fifties. Like this is the parents of teenagers type of crowd and 20 year old type of crowd. So

I'm going to start doing that. That feels exciting. And it doesn't have to be big to be important because what you deem as important can be different than what somebody else deems as important. And is one person affected by that? Are my neighbors who want more mobility and are feeling stuck and stiff and like they can't show up in other classes because they're not sure if they'll like be able to do the thing. Is it worth it?

Yeah, it is. Do I think it's fun? Yeah. It doesn't have to be big. You don't have to go to a studio to be considered a yoga teacher. You don't have to. There's a lot of other places that you could go.

Bonnie Weeks (she/her) (13:52.428)
We can dive into other places to go another time, but begin small. Begin small. Look outside of the studio box. Like what's everybody doing? What else can you do different? Yeah. And remember that you know more than so many people. I want you to think about a neighbor. Does that know anything about yoga?

I think sometimes there can be a paralysis of jumping in because you don't know everything. You don't know everything. You actually don't. You know what I know what? I don't know everything either. And am I still teaching? Yes, I am. Am I still learning as I lead? Yes, I am. And you will do the same and you're going to mess up. You are so going to mess up. You're going to do it wrong. Guess what? I've done it wrong too. Do you want to know the only way to start to do it right?

You got to do it wrong. See that you do wrong. And when you know better, you do better. That's how it works. We are here as a practice and the gift of showing up in the room means that the students are giving us the opportunity to practice our teaching as much as we are giving them an opportunity to practice their yoga while we're all practicing yoga. I have yoga practice paying attention. So remember, you know more so you can start small. Do

less, better, and spend some freaking time on the transitions. It does not have to go fast. And make sure you define what it is you want that you want. It doesn't have to be what the studio is in, like doing around you. And it doesn't have to be what your training exactly taught you, which I know might be kind of tricky. But like the definition of power, I define power as a combination of grace and strength. A lot of people say, well, power yoga means

that the temperature is 105 and there's humidity. Power yoga means that we have long holds. Power yoga means that we do 10 minutes of core work in the middle of class. Power work means that you move really fast. Power yoga means that it is handstands and inversions and arm balances. Does it? Does it to you? Power yoga to me is the combination of grace and strength. That's it. So I teach in flow school.

Bonnie Weeks (she/her) (16:11.854)
Sequencing to a peak flow. That's power yoga, where it feels like a yoga dance, because it feels like this combination of intuitive body movement with movement science and tradition. That's interesting to me. So you get to define what is you want to teach and ground it, have some solid whys. And if you don't know some, you get to imitate. One of the gifts of things that I've given in the Flow School membership, $65 a month.

There's no contract. You get a whole library of so much of the modules of flow school, of your flow prompts, of starting to sequence in the method that I teach you and flow prompts to them, prompt your own creativity. And then you get a full circle flow plans. So imitate, try on some of those circle flows. There's some that are just five poses. I walk you through them like a teacher, like a student. So I teach you knowing that you're a teacher.

but I'm giving you also a student experience at the same time. It's really fun. There's already 13 in there and you can take one of those and teach it for multiple weeks. Like seriously, you could blend some of them together that you can take one and then add it to what you're already teaching. Teach it. Like there's a PDF that you can print out or download so you can have it for easy reference. After you take this 20 minute class, take it, imitate, find yourself.

in an experience where I saw what I would have loved. You know what? It's what I would have loved. I was teaching yoga and had no idea how to sequence. I hadn't done a teacher training. And even the one that I did when I did my teacher training was a hatha teacher training hatha. And so I didn't flow. Having flows like this where somebody has thought them out and where they were for a reason and to have them like,

pretty like the PDFs have been made for me to actually be able to know how to teach them with the transitions. my gosh, that would have been amazing. That's what I've made for you. So click the link in the show notes and you can go sign up for the full school membership. Okay, and then you can come and jump on the lives. You can message me from there, all the things so that we can have conversation. But slow down in your transitions. You do not have to teach it fast. And sometimes,

Bonnie Weeks (she/her) (18:37.846)
Especially if you're teaching intimate groups, they will want to have conversation. It is a very different thing to teach a smaller group of people, meaning like two, three, sometimes four, versus a room of 30. Some people are more intimidated by the group of four and some people are intimidated by the group of 30. Some people would love to just do one-on-one and never do classes and then vice versa. All of those are right ways to teach and all those are things that you get to discover. Like where is it

that you feel like you can meet people's best. There's so much room. And so often, and I think people take yoga teacher training and they'll be like, okay, I'm gonna go teach group classes. You could never teach a group class and you could only do one-on-one. Amazing. You're gonna learn so much. Cause you're actually gonna learn how to meet bodies with different abilities, interests, awareness. It's gonna be huge, right? So slow it down.

Let yourself explore the process of teaching and being real. Like teach your friends, teach your neighbors, teach your mom, teach your sister, teach your brother, teach your grandpa. It's gonna be awesome. Go to the retirement center. Do you have a retirement center close to you? I bet you can find an opportunity to teach some older folks some yoga. That's gonna be real big. How about a preschool? You can go teach little kids.

Now, could there be specialty programs for maybe teaching some of these populations? Sure. Also.

Bonnie Weeks (she/her) (20:12.512)
Also, if you have people around you that are willing to let you practice on them and to be good at giving feedback and at listening and that you own stepping into the moment with, take it. Because you have to do it to get better at it.

And if you don't know something because you're going to run into things you don't know, you're going to figure it out. And I trust you're going to figure out and then you're going to teach it and you don't have to make shit up. You can say you don't know. That is such a valid way to be a leader. You're like, you know what, actually, I'm not sure. Let me look it up and get back to you. That's so valid. Like if you were

You're like new all of the things. Would that be weird? That'd be weird, right? So it's okay if you don't know everything. Teach what you know. Just teach what you know. You don't have to teach what you don't know. Teach what you know how to do. Teach what you know. Own what you know. Own what you don't know. And some of us can be really good at thinking we might not know anything and when can I ever step in to teach? So you gotta...

build some reps, you've got to do it a lot more time than once. And really on this note of not knowing how to do a thing, this is part of slowing down the practice, slowing down, especially the movement. I'm speaking specifically to movement. Slow down the movement enough that people actually learn how to do it. I was teaching my youngest kid, right? I was teaching him and two of his friends in my garage and I taught them some of their first son salutations and

There is nothing like teaching, there's nothing like teaching some 13 year old, 14 year old boys how to do a sun A that have never done it. Going from a Chaturanga to an up dog to a down dog, that was so fun to watch them. And we, I think in general, there's not a lot of queuing of up dog or queuing of how to get from the up dog position and transition to down dog. That's big. Sit with that.

Bonnie Weeks (she/her) (22:27.55)
Get good at that. And not even like it can be the things that maybe your teachers have told you, but try it out on somebody who has never done it. And I want you to watch them. Don't have them just do it with you. Right? I want you to walk them through it. Walk them through it where you watch them. And if you're going to be next to them and doing it with them, try to do it right with them.

not so they're watching you and then imitating. Can you do it with them and keep your eyeballs on them the whole time? Because being able to use your words and cue through some of those transitions is gonna translate through all of the things and it's hard. I think you and up dog is actually pretty hard. Whenever I go to a class that has a lot of sun A's, my lats on the backside of my body are often sore. I'm like, oh damn, right? So maybe I need to do some more dead lifts, I to lift some more heavy shit, but also.

It is a full back strengthening posture, but that's not always how it is done. There's a lot of pulling involved in that. Fascinating. But that doesn't happen for a lot of people either. Like there's different levels of it. So really hone your cueing of some of the basic things and don't rush it. Like yourself, teach a slower practice and get really good at queuing the transition so people actually understand them.

is those reps are gonna help you build confidence and trust in yourself. And the cool thing about building reps is also that it's building confidence and trust in your students ability to also be there. I don't know about you, but I have heard a lot of people who feel really nervous about stepping into a yoga studio.

All genders, all different genders have talked about it with me and for different reasons and feeling like they're going to be so watched and feeling like people will be uncomfortable with them in the room, feeling like they're not going to know what to do, feeling like they're going to be singled out, feeling like all different sorts of ways. And maybe you have felt that. And part of the gift of your presence in the room as a teacher,

Bonnie Weeks (she/her) (24:50.754)
to be the weirdest person in the world. And if you're the weirdest, then everybody else is weird, maybe he gets to be welcomed too. Like, they're being weird and that's kind of funny. And that feels like really human and maybe I'm okay. So your weird invites their weird. And the more you repeat and do it shaky and do it real, be honest about it, that's gonna give you the reps.

of trusting in yourself as a leader, as much as it's going to give your students reps of trusting in themselves as a mover and as a human and them giving themselves permission to also show up in the room. You're also doing it. And I think sometimes as teachers we can get lost in saying like, I'm showing up in the middle of the room, at the front of the room. And does anybody know that I was just sitting in my car crying and everything in my life is falling apart and how can I show up and stand up in the front of the room and be this person?

that is leading everybody. Am I just fake?

Who am I to talk about all of these things? Who am I standing here? You know what? Somebody showing up in class today.

They're thinking the same thing. They're thinking the same thing.

Bonnie Weeks (she/her) (26:13.71)
but they showed up and they're not gonna tell you that. And whatever story it is that you're telling yourself as a teacher, I want you to imagine like somebody in the room or all of them are saying the same thing to themselves. I want you to imagine that when you go into that room and how do you need to speak to them so they feel like they belong because they really are showing up and being like, I don't know if I belong.

don't know if I can be here. I don't know if I'm good enough. They are saying that. Not all of them of course, right? But they are.

And I just need this moment to myself and I just into myself. I want to strong and grounded and free.

And guess what? You know how to speak to that because you know what it's like to be a human. It's a part of this practice of leaning into teaching is learning how to practice trust. We are in the business of people, which is the business of trust. So this is trusting yourself. This is trusting your students and making sure that they understand that they have autonomy in this class, right? And this is also the trust of yoga. So big on this. You have to trust the yoga.

Now as a teacher, have to trust the yoga because it is not your job to teach everything in a single 60 minute class. You would never will. So set it down. Set it down. Do not carry that weight. It is not your job to have every student in your class fall in love with your class. That is not your job. It is not your job to have every single person in class fall in love with yoga and want to come back. Do we want that? Yeah, because it's changed our lives. Is it the right time for them? We don't know. Are you the right teacher for them? We don't know.

Bonnie Weeks (she/her) (28:02.956)
Is it the right type of movement and practice and focus and words and tone for them? We don't know. We can set it down. Part of trusting the yoga to me means that I'm going to show up and I'm going to teach the best that I can with solid wise and with big intention and presence and that it is enough and that the space that people make for themselves to come to a class for an hour, an hour and a half.

two hours, however long they're coming to, that the space they're taking for themselves to move, to breathe, and to rest is trusting the yoga. And that is not about me or even necessarily what I'm teaching. Those are parts of it. They are actually important parts of it, but it's bigger than that. And this is the practice of paying attention. And notice when you go to class next,

What is in your head when you are practicing? Is it all the words that the teacher's saying or are you having a full conversation, full visual experience in your head that is outside of what's happening in the class that you can see and in what the teacher is saying? What are you finding in your practice that is outside of what anybody else is inputting besides your own imagination, your own words in your head? What phrases and mantra that are coming to you? Is it the phrase I remember in one classroom,

The phrase kept on coming in saying like, that's gonna be okay. It's gonna be okay. Or I started talking to myself. And you know what? That phrase was not just about the movement, that was about my life. That's about my life. Or where some moment brings up some emotion and feeling and you get to sit with it and be there. Something you didn't plan on. It's because we make the space.

We make the space, sit down our phones. We bring ourselves to the mat and we make an intentional space in our lives. This is trusting the yoga. This is the way that movement shifts us enough to say like, we're gonna breathe, we're gonna breathe, we're gonna find some work so we can sit our ass down and trust the yoga and be with our heads. Sometimes that's the hardest work. I'm not even saying it's the most important. I don't know what it is.

Bonnie Weeks (she/her) (30:27.214)
What's the most important? Most important is trying to be right here right now with ourselves. But all of the pieces are important. All of the pieces play together. And I know some people say the Shavasana or sitting with yourself is the most important. And so that's the meditation sort of experience, right? Is meditation important? Is sitting there with your breath, your thoughts important? Yes. But moving your body is important. That's important too, right? Breathing is important.

Self-compassion is important.

All of these things are players together, learning how to tend to your own emotional heart and your relationship to the things unseen, but powerful energy in our lives. All these are important.

So we have a sprinkling of all of them and it's pretty beautiful. And trusting the yoga means that we're not trying to be here to force anything. It means we're trusting the unfolding process. And so it gives us as teachers this opportunity to say like, I don't actually have to prove anything about yoga in this hour. I'm gonna show up and I'm gonna teach something that I've thought through. I'm gonna be prepared. I'm big on preparing class ahead of time.

Yes, you might have to throw that out the window depending on who you're teaching and what and why and what situation is. Come to class. I want what you want to share. Then you can pivot, right?

Bonnie Weeks (she/her) (31:53.228)
And in this process, they're gonna find you. Your students get to find them. And y'all get to sit in this time and space together and it is a service that we give as teachers.

And it can feel like a really big weight to say, my gosh, what if I screw it all up? And it's like a whole thing. Yeah, could, maybe. And also it's such a small moment of the day and it's such a small moment of our lives. Could it be life-changing? Yeah, is it going to be somebody's first class? And it's the thing that in 12 years and be like, yeah, my first class 12 years ago.

And maybe it was yours.

That's cool. And maybe it's not. That's cool.

Bonnie Weeks (she/her) (32:51.192)
We're here for the journey of it. We're here to trust the journey and to trust the timing. And you teaching, you have no idea the ripples that will be because of your teaching and who you will touch and how that will play out in your life and in their lives and in the lives of all those in your community, you have no idea. And I kind of think that's a gift.

Because if we knew maybe it would scare us and we wouldn't even begin. We'd be like, oh my gosh, that's really what's possible. But we just take one little step at a time, one step, and let yourself build trust through the repetition. It's trust and confidence. All of those things are gonna come as you do little after little after little after little. And it might be terrifying, but if it's an ounce of exciting along with the terror, do it. Say yes.

Sometimes they say yes before you're ready and then you're like, okay, I'm gonna do the damn thing. I'm gonna do it.

And maybe you need to sit at a whiteboard and maybe you just need to let yourself nerd out and talk about a thing with somebody who is a close enough friend and confidant who will just let you talk about this thing that you are excited about. Maybe that's it. Maybe you need to visualize it and maybe there's community to surround yourself with and maybe there's mentorship you want to maybe I don't know what it is, but I hope you find the whiteboard.

Right? I hope you find the place where you can start to teach it so you can start to integrate it so you can start to own it so you can start to say like, I'm understanding. Does my 14 year old know everything about football? No, he's like teaching me because he's trying to quiz himself. He's trying to memorize the thing and he doesn't really know. It's like an unconscious thing in a way of like teaching me is actually helping him.

But maybe there's something in us in our biology of knowing that. Maybe there's that. Or maybe he just sees, well, it's kind of what his mom's doing. It's also what one of his older siblings has done to him a lot. Coming home, learning all the math things and sitting there and making him do it while they get taught, while he gets taught.

It's pretty beautiful, you know? Go light up some rooms, yeah? Why then tell me about it? I love to hear your wins. I love to hear your wins. If you're a teacher, tell me your win. And that can mean that you a BFF come over to your house and that you taught them some yoga. That is a win, right? In this conversation here, that's a win.

I want you to tell me a win. Of course, I love to see you in the Full School membership. I love to help you be able to hone your voice and really own your sequencing and find the thing in you that lights you up, helps you break yourself, give yourself permission to be the weirdest one in the room, to lead from that heart-centered, authentically real place in you that can't not give permission to others to light them up in their own lives too.

That's how the book has changed. I'm sending you big love.
