What is the thought on reading from texts while teaching a yoga class?
Hello. I just taught my first yoga class during my teacher training program and I put everything I had into it. I have anxiety and memory issues so I went in scripted and the feedback I got was constructive except, my teacher stated that I read too much and it made the class less genuine because it did not come from the heart. This really hurt me because yoga is the only space where I can hang out in my heart and communicate with it. I did read from different sources because they expressed what I felt in my heart at the time when I was doing this practice and I wanted to make sure that I got the sequence how I wanted it. I have been to classes where teachers read. I was just curious as to what the general consensus is. Thank you.
