Why become an Inner Axis teacher?

Perhaps you are thinking about taking my Inner Axis teacher training but you still doubt that the world needs you as a teacher. Perhaps you have thoughts such as, “There are already enough yoga teachers, more flexible ones, stronger, and more eloquent ones." But let me tell you: flexibility, strength, and eloquence are worth nothing if it is not their hearts' deepest calling.

Look at me, I myself do not look like a stereotypical yoga teacher yet teaching still became the centerpiece of my life. The first yoga class I ever took was at the age of 35. I was the stiff guy in the back row and was highly skeptical and yet the daily practice made me peaceful and happier, so I continued going. After a few years I started my own practice and taught friends at home. Over the years I developed my own system of breath-initiated-movement named Inner Axis, and today, 27 years later, I am touring the world to teach this practice as a full-time mission.

There can never be enough teachers as there are still too many people in need for this medicine.

Yes, you are medicine. Medicine for someone. You will heal that person. You. Maybe two people. Maybe 20. Maybe ten thousand. Only you. You are the bringer of medicine, and the bringer of the medicine is as important as the medicine itself. Because if the wrong person brings the medicine, the wounded person will not accept it. It has to be you. So if you feel called, then maybe you are, and we are waiting for you.

Love, Max Strom
