Is 2023, the year you make a difference and transform yours and children’s lives with yoga ?
As a new year begins, it’s the perfect time to let go of the old, and create the new.
A time for new dreams, desires and possibilities.
If you are immersed in New Year’s rituals – I am too.
Today, whist listening to webinars for inspiration, a mentor shared a true story that I have to share with you.
Because it’ll resonate. You’ll see why.
This is what he said ….
A 5th grade boy (10 years old), was struggling in class.
He didn’t fit in with the other kids and didn’t have many friends.
Then one day, whilst in class,
The door opened
And in walked another teacher, who said, “I’m here to collect the smart child to take the special high achiever test.”
The class went completely quiet and looked at the teacher.
The teacher, looked up, scanned the room,
And pointed her finger towards the struggling boy.
Amazed that it was him, he stood up,
followed the other teacher to the back of the class
all eyes were on him, as he sat down to take the test.
Now, he’d never thought of himself as clever.
And certainly not smarter than anyone else in the class.
But on that day, he started to see himself differently and it made a massive impact.
Fast forward 50 years….
(This is the cool part)
…He’s now a very successful speaker, author, podcaster and impacts millions.
And, one day, during an interview, while talking about the impact another can have on your life, he remembered this incident and decided to look up the teacher.
She was still alive, but not teaching anymore.
He decided to pick up the phone and call her, she remembered him well….and the ‘test’ he sat.
She said, “ You know, there was no special test.”
What !!!!!
She explained, “I knew you were struggling in class and that others were giving you a hard time, so I created a test, told another teacher what my plan was and asked them to come in and sit with you while you took the test in front of everyone else.
I wanted to make sure everyone in the class heard me say, you were the smart one.”
How beautiful is that!
What a truely special teacher.
This is the power that a teacher can have on a child’s life.
….by the negative things they say, or the positive.
One small action, had a massive impact on that little boy…
It did change how he thought about himself, and thereby changed how others thought of him too.
And subsequently changed his entire life.
Teachers have very little opportunity to do this nowadays, with a jam-packed curriculum.
But we do.If you’d like to spend an hour a week, 10 hours a week, or a full time career, being the teacher who helps children like that little grade 5 boy…
As a children’s yoga teacher, that’s ALL you do.
The entire hour is designed to connect each child to who they truly are.
So they get a glimpse of who they are through your eyes.
