When you step into the seat of the teacher you become a role model. Then what you wear has a greater impact not only on how you feel but also on how others feel, too. The task is to dress in a way that uplifts your words, actions, and spirit in service to your students and your subject matter. How can what you wear help you embody your teachings?

How can you use all of who you are, inside and out, to inspire your students? Like it or not, what you wear matters. We all know that when we look good, we feel good; and when we feel good, those around us can feel that, too.

Therefore Khalsa puts a lot of attention into what she wears as a teacher, and she feels grateful that Kundalini founder Yogi Bhajan challenged her to link spirituality with fashion.

When choosing what to wear, consider what colors, styles, and fabrics are comfortable, practical, and uplifting for you and your students. Dress with the remembrance that you are a role model for your students.

Grace can have many different looks and faces. When you step into Grace, you embrace infinite possibility and the courage to radically accept and present yourself, as you are, which is always a divinely unique being.

A lot of teachers buy basic yoga pants and tops, and just throw them on and head to the studio. But if they had an office job, they might put a little more thought into their accessories. Once you have enough basics think of creative little touches you can add to your look that lets your personality shine—scarves, jewelry, wraps, bags, and leg warmers will all make your look more interesting and unique in a totally appropriate way!
