Listen to the Podcast
In our premier episode of Talking Yoga, Beryl Bender Birch has a conversation with master teacher Elena Brower. From the one essential sutra that every new teacher needs to learn, to the ultimate hope for yoga in the world, Elena passes on philosophies that can empower us all as both instructors and yogis. She explains why her “only mission is to say as little as possible to convey as much as possible.” The two New Yorkers discuss the role energy work plays in practice and how asana feeds creativity. Most importantly, Elena shares with us the approach she feels resonates best with her students – “They love it when I tell the truth, when I’m fallible, when I’m scared…” and what she does to avoid squandering the privilege of being a teacher.
