Question about teaching

[Guest guest]

I have been practicing Ashtanga for almost a year

now and have always looked forward to the progress of

my practice (within my limitations, of course).

<br><br>I can't really say that I'm not surprised by a

number of practicioners who are keen of being Ashtanga

teachers. It is not my intention to judge their genuine

motive to teach which is due to their enthusiasm and

devotion to the practice. I have met some people who wish

to teach others so they can share what they have

found in Ashtanga (inner peace and true self).

<br><br>But with positive intentions comes self-indulgent

ones...those who wish to teach in order to fan their ego. I

have also met some people who boast of having attended

teacher training courses, or how long they have been

practicing, or getting adept to the second series, etc. As an

imperfect person, I think their selfish needs are quite

detrimental to the others who are genuinely searching for

something deeper and more meaningful.<br><br>I should

actually follow a quote fm Ptanjali's Yoga

Sutra:<br><br>Be happy for those who are happier than you,

compassion for those who are less happy, joyful at the

praiseworthy deeds others do, and undisturbed by the error of

others.<br><br>namaste
