Hear, hear!

[Guest guest]

on godfreydev's recent series of postings on

styles of yoga and what it takes to be a teacher of

yoga. All of this is relevant to the recent exhange of

posts on the question of who is a good Ashtanga

teacher.<br><br>At some point it is important to have technical

competence, but isn't it also crucial to have learned from

one's life experiences? (Whether and to what extent one

should tell one's story to one's students is a separate

issue, and probably a case-by-case judgment

call.)<br><br>I don't know Larry Schultz or the Bender-Birches --

in fact I am one of Ashtanga waifs who must practice

alone -- but it seems that if your teacher has

technical limitations then you can always consult with

someone else once you reach a certain level of technical

proficiency, without in any way dishonoring the contribution

that your first teacher makes in opening you

up.<br><br>'Round here, we'd welcome any teacher. Or yoga buddies.

Or whatever.<br><br>Peace and Good,<br>homer_hanumat
