I finished yoga teacher training. I never taught, outside a handful of private lessons – too afraid someone would get hurt trying to do what I showed them, that I’d be responsible for a body I didn’t fully understand. I’m circling the same fear now with this writing project. I don’t tell anyone what to do. I just say what happened to me and stop there. I’m still braced like it’s the yoga room. Still afraid of a kind of responsibility that was never actually mine.
