So let’s get right to it. I am going to invite you to drop the thought of being perfect, in any aspect of your life. Mainly because I want you to complete your yoga teacher training and if you are wrapped up in being perfect it will take you longer than you would like.

Being in yoga is not about being perfect. We, Drishti Beats, truly believe that you are absolutely perfectly imperfect and everything you do is about your authenticity and your organic self. What makes a masterful yoga teacher and even more importantly, you, as a masterful person, is not being perfect and never making a mistake.  If you live life in the space of seeking perfectionism it will interrupt your progress.

So let’s look at this dirty 13 letter word – Perfectionism.
