Defining your teaching archetype allows you to step fully into your voice—unapologetically. It helps you feel grounded, confident, and authentic in how you teach.

Without this clarity, many teachers fall into comparison. We admire teachers we love and, often unconsciously, begin copying them. Sometimes this is framed as inspiration—but underneath, it can quietly communicate that we are not enough as we are.

When we copy others, we cut ourselves off from our own creativity.

This is where Aparigraha (non-possessiveness)—one of the Yamas—offers profound guidance. Aparigraha invites us to let go of grasping so we can uncover our own truth. When we stop trying to possess what belongs to someone else, we create space to embody what is already ours.
