Me:Unfortunately, I have found very few classes except during my teacher trainings with Kimberly Waugh (radiantlifeyogaschool.com ) and Joyce Savitz ( jacksonvilleyoga.com) and some workshops with Lisa Long (longlisa.com ) to have tears flow. These exquisite teachers created the space and “allowed” me to feel safe enough to let the emotions flow. No judgement and complete surrender is what it takes for me.
A few answers to the question from a few yogis you might know.....
- Elena Brower: For myself, almost every time I practice in a class setting, you’ll find me with tears streaming down my face. I love learning, I love being present in my body, I love being led, and I love how the practice always yields a feeling of strength and connection to myself and to my family. I hear folks commenting on a range of emotional experiences, from joyous to melancholy, but they always come away from practice sensing some sort of healing.
- Kathryn Budig: The yoga mat is our own personal island where any emotions we feel—joy, dread, exhilaration or despair—can all surface safely here without judgement. A good yoga practice taps directly into our core and reality of what’s happening in our lives, so it can be an emotional release depending on what we’ve been denying or holding in. It’s a fabulous place for sweet release and surrender which leads to healing.
