"I loved the class today... My back feels wonderful.... Thank you.".... " I am so glad to hear that. What do you think made it feel so good?".... "Everything!"....
To hear this wonderful compliment makes my heart very happy.
A class can be made up of several types of yoga students; younger/older, beginner/seasoned, healthy/physically challenged.... and you may find this variety in each class you teach or attend. But, this is what makes yoga so wonderful; it is truly designed for the individual practitioner and where they find themselves.
