This quote by Maya Angelou is my guiding motto. I've had many role models in my life, but one thing most had in common with them all is that they made me feel good in some way: uplifted, comforted, confident.
I aim to do the same in my regular interactions with people, and especially when I teach yoga classes. I always want my students to feel better after the class ends. Some of my teaching is physical instruction about what we're doing, some of it is simple encouragement. The best class is where everyone feels:
* Welcomed into the group,
* Accepted just as they are, and
* Empowered to move in ways that work best for their body
