We, as human beings, have latent feelings and emotions. Our appearance and behavior in the outer world (that world which is not within us) is masked so that we “fit in”, are liked, seem normal, and pretend so that the ego is placated.
Yoga is a process which reveals the inner self so that we may live that more fully in the world - as opposed to levitating above the planet looking down upon its woes. When we, through that process of Yoga, meet ourselves it is very common to see some things in our selves that have been buried (latent) or hidden. And now they and you are ready for them to come forth, be addressed, learn, grow, and move along life’s path.
It is nothing to be apprehensive about. Just something to note and not get too entangled with, one way or another. A set of feelings and thoughts, part of you (part of us all) but not something that makes one odd or “bad”.
The energy simply needs to be redirected and that is where the sound guidance of a well trained teacher comes in. Please do consult with he or she as you progress beyond the first month of your practice.
