I taught a workshop today in which I made a case for inviting people to have a more contemplative practice.

And one of my fellow teachers in the workshop asked me a question that I've gotten asked many times, which was, what do you do about that student who comes and just wants to work out and they're

pushing as hard as they can, even though you're telling them to be more measured?

And I asked her, I said, has this person come to your class more than once?

And she said, yeah, he comes all the time.

And I said, oh, well, if he keeps coming, I think you need to take that as an indication that some part of him recognizes a value.

He wouldn't keep coming.

Even though he's kind of like seemingly not doing what you're suggesting, I think you might just want to be a little bit patient.

And I offered a few suggestions about how I might engage that person.

And that kind of conversation can be really useful as teachers.

And we don't always have an opportunity to have them,

which is why I started my weekly teachers class where a group of podcast

listeners like yourself, join me for a live video call and we have some stuff out.

And it's incredibly supportive and all kinds of great stuff's coming out of it.

If you'd be interested in something like that, I encourage you to check it out.

It's the J. Brown Yoga Weekly Teachers class. You can find it at J.Brown Yoga.com.
