I recall at least a few established, well-known yoga instructors proclaiming something to the effect of, "I can't believe I was teaching then" or "I really should not have been teaching at that point". If memory serves at least one contributor made such a statement in American Yoga: The Paths and Practices of America's Greatest Yoga Teachers by Carrie Schneider.
I've had several moments regarding such a notion, coming in the form of, "Only now do I feel really ready to teach." It seems to come in tiers. Of course, it is fine that I've been teaching what I have been and as often as I have, which I scaled according to what felt appropriate. When that notion arises, what is it? Ego? Is the ego judging the past? Is it congratulating the present?
