I reckon this is more of a reality than not.
At some point, teaching can start to replace personal practice.
Classes become your mat time and your own questions, struggles, and inquiry get postponed… indefinitely.
Now hear me when I say that doesn’t automatically make you a bad teacher.
Some of the most skilful, attentive teachers I know are in seasons where their personal practice looks nothing like it used to or barely exists at all.
But what is worth considering is what happens when teaching becomes output without replenishment?
So let’s talk not to judge, but to reflect:
- What does personal practice look like in this season of your life?
- Has it changed, simplified, disappeared, or matured?
