It takes time

This morning I was listening to the latest Yoga Peeps podcast, and it was an interview with Bryan Kest. When answering the question of what advice he has for a beginning yoga teacher, he said that becoming a yoga teacher is like growing a tree, and it takes a long time to grow a tree. He said we can't expect it to feel comfortable and to easily be able to express our thoughts and intentions into words as a beginner teacher. I liked his advice, and it was reassuring to me. I know that it will take time to become a good teacher, and I have patience and perseverance to do it.
