Carrie beautifully put and so true on so many levels.Thank you for your wise words.

Carrie, I'm 53 and have been teaching for 17 years. Everything you mentioned is spot on and will be incredibly helpful for new teachers or those who are feeling like all the energy has been sucked out of their bodies. We tend to learn late in life that simply saying "no" can be life changing and eliminate so many problems.

I have always taken lots of continuing education, workshops and classes from other teachers which always rejuvenates. I also frequently travel with my husband and while he's working, I explore Pilates and yoga or fusion studios. My teacher told me a very long time ago that we, as teachers, cannot continue to give if we do not continuously receive. Best advice I've ever gotten.

This is such an important conversation, and so thoughtfully and beautifully presented!

What a wonderful presentation. Thank you so much for your honesty and insight. I know many people including myself teach up to 40 or more classes A week. Burnout is a real thing, as is not being sure what to do with your clients. I’ve been teaching for many years and I love how you are sharing your own truth. Please come back

That's so wonderful, Lori M ! Totally a great way to stay inspired is taking sessions at local studios when you travel!

Thank you so much, Patricia ! I appreciate knowing that so many people associate with this!
