When people ask about the projects I’ve worked on, they often focus on the outcome.
How many books were donated?
How many people participated?
How many hours did it take?
While those numbers certainly matter, they rarely tell the whole story.

When I first began teaching yoga to a small group of children each week, I expected the experience to be mostly about poses, breathing techniques, and flexibility. I spent time planning sessions, choosing activities, and thinking about how to explain movements in a way that would be engaging and easy to understand.
What I didn’t expect was how much the experience would teach me about motivation—not just in children, but in people as a whole.
