Guest guest Posted November 14, 2001 Report Share Posted November 14, 2001 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 16, 2001 Report Share Posted November 16, 2001 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. <br><br>i never date bankers, i much rather date someone interesting. a girl has to have standards.

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2001 Report Share Posted November 16, 2001 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."
