Guest guest Posted February 15, 2000 Report Share Posted February 15, 2000 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
