Virginia Wolf wrote of ‘killing the Angel of the House’ in her wonderful ‘Professions for Women’ speech of 1931. In this episode let’s explore where you might be surrendering to your own angel, and seeking to please, pander and push down your own needs for the (perhaps) benefits of your students and colleagues. We’ll also look to Sita for inspiration. Sita who put up with #alot before finally telling her man to jam it and choosing herself.

In this Episode I’m focussing on the emotional component of our roles as Yoga Teachers, as opposed to the cognitive and physical parts. Specifically, we are talking about emotional labour and understanding how knowing the rules of what is OK to emote, regulating our own emotions and then performing sometimes contradictory emotions in an important part of the work we do, but without support, can lead to poor mental health outcomes. Oh, and there’s some tips on managing it better, too.

I received this really important message on Insta: “How do you keep up motivation and ‘positive energy’ (because potential clients can smell stress a mile away) when in the inevitable starting out phase of having minimal clients and not covering costs let alone surviving on your love project? Also, how do you make peace with the ego and maintain a sense of identity when transitioning from a ‘well respected’ job in society’s eyes to running your business which has far less street cred?” Here’s my answers!
