Why I became a yoga teacher and why I quit

I'm going to tell you why I became a yoga teacher My current career wasn’t working for me mentally, physically, or emotionally. So what can I do that’s fulfilling me in all those ways that allow me to help people and give back to my community or communities that are similar to mine? I wanted to deepen my knowledge of yoga. Well, what I thought yoga was anyway. I wanted to learn more about how bodies work, and how yoga helps our bodies and affects our minds and spirit.

While I was in my training I was able to learn more about myself and figure out what I wanted to do that was different from the sea of yoga teachers.

I'm going to explain why I decided to quit being a yoga teacher. During my training, I learned the philosophy of yoga, which includes the eight limbs. While I think these principles can guide us to lead a good life, I didn't feel fully connected to them. I grew tired of creating sequences and found it hard to stay motivated while facing the challenges of running a yoga business.

My yoga training gave me the strength and tools to identify how I wanted to live my life. I realized that I wanted to become a doula. So, I moved, found an agency to help me acquire birth clients, and eventually, I became pregnant. I love being a doula and birth worker.

After having my baby and spending most of my pregnancy away from yoga, I realized that while I love yoga, I don't want to be a yoga teacher or label myself as a yogi. And that's perfectly fine. You may have noticed that my brand has shifted towards wellness from yoga, and my Instagram handle is no longer britheyogadoula.

One of my mentors recently reminded me that change is the only constant in life and that we're all just figuring things out in our way, every day. So, that's why I became a yoga teacher and why I decided to stop.
