Poli, usually a teacher ist not very comfortable in the classroom.
The cook it's a better example.

a typical example
"Yo estoy a mis anchas cuando mi mujer no está en casa, veo la tele mientras como en el sofá"

¿Estoy a mi ancha con esa idea?
You can say that, but usually you do not move with an idea.

Thanks Sosia. In English we can be comfortable with an idea as well
as a comfortable on a sofa. Being comfortable with a concept doesn't translate well to Spanish.
