As a Yoga instructor, cultivating a sense of gratitude in your Yoga classes is particularly appropriate during any holiday season. Gratitude is defined by Webster’s Dictionary as a sense of appreciation or thankfulness. To feel a sense of thankfulness also elicits a profound sense of being blessed as we walk through the world. When we become aware of the many blessings and gifts that surround us on a daily basis, it is easy to lead our Yoga students into a sense of grateful abundance.
If you have a student or two who is unable to think of any positive aspects of his or her life for which to be grateful, gently guide them to think of the many “little” blessings we all take for granted each day. For example, fresh water to drink and clean air to breath. Remind them that the mere act of being able to physically and financially attend a Yoga class is a luxury many others may not be so fortunate to enjoy. Even the ability to see the beauty around them is a pleasure that visually impaired individuals are unable to behold.
