The Work Beneath the Work
14th November, 2025 Dear Teacher, Mid-month can feel like we’re suspended between what we planned and what actually happened. It’s often where the quiet truth emerges. This month, I want to remind you of something simple and essential: Teaching isn’t what you do with your voice or sequencing. It’s the work you’re doing beneath the work. It’s the attention you bring. The steadiness you’re cultivating. The integrity you keep when no one’s watching. The humility you hold as you carry a lineage older than any modern trend. Some months you will feel inspired and organised. Other months, you’ll feel stretched and unsure, and yet both are part of walking this path. If you’re in a season where your own practice feels thin…Begin again. Not with guilt but with curiosity. What is your body asking for? What is your breath showing you? Before you teach your next class, pause for 30 seconds. Place one hand on your belly and/or your heart and simply breathe. You can’t pour from empty, and you don’t need to rush to full. I’m cheering you on. With love & gratitude ... Ann-See xo
