I know that the YOGA ALLIANCE is a controversial

subject on this board. And I definitely hear some of the

grievances. I am one to believe that you can't really certify

a yoga teacher and that it takes years and years of

practice to become a teacher. But at the same time you

have to start somewhere. And if you are living in the

western world, especially the corporate USA, dl

it is entirely possible that SPW = SHFM. SPW has

mentioned his huge successes elsewhere in life and he was

also very badly shaken by the world trade center

carnage. lots of hedge fund - minded people were lost that

day. <br><br>if SPW is not SHFM, he and his field

operatives can surely identify him. i'd truly like to know

more about SHFM, an all-american hero who has invested

most of his waking life in the practise of ashtanga

yoga and his noble, profoundly interesting and

extremely important job of making rich people even richer.

I've been reading HEART OF YOGA and came across

something Desikachar says that is relevant to some of this

Hedge Fund etc. discussion. He is answering a question

about the yamas and niyamas.<br><br>"These qualities

are potentials, and one person may have much more

than another person. Yoga is something like a catalyst

that brings out the best in us. If somebody has the

predispositiion to be a very sociable person, yoga will act as a

catalyst to bring this out. In others this predisposition

may not be there to the same extent. I knwo some

people who are practicing much yoga, including diet

changes and meditative practices, yet they remain very

unfeeling people, even cruel. Some are even yoga teachers

themselves. There are other people who do a few simple things

in yoga and much change occurs. So yoga is a

catalyst. Its presence brings out certain changes, things

that are latent and not yet obvious. However it can

only bring out what is already there. A good teacher

can bring out these qualities, no matter how small

the potential. If they do not exist, however, nothing

can bring them out."
