Ram Dass
Richard Alpert became Ram Dass after working with certain Gurus in South Asia. Ram Dass means "Servant of God." His talks are real, with funny, heartbreaking stories, and infinite wisdom. This talk is about how we can become "safe spaces" for each other. As teachers we need to be safe spaces for our students, but also very much for ourselves. Please look into this talk with an open mind, as, if you were like me once, you may be turned off by woo-woo terms like "dharma" and "yoga." But indeed we need to realize that many things are difficult yogas, not just stretching on a mat.
