Guest guest Posted December 6, 2002 Report Share Posted December 6, 2002 Hello Everyone, First thanks to everyone for their opinions and thoughts on migranes, i'm feeling much better! I would like to get everyone's thoughts on the Yoga Alliance. I personally have been dedicated to the ashtanga practice for 3 years now, i know it is not a lifetime, but i am extremely dedicated. I completed the teacher training w/ david swenson and did a workshop w/ Manju Jois. I am currently teaching a few classes, while maintaining my own practice. Frankly, i do not have 1500$ to spend to take a 200 hour course. i do intend however to keep attending workshops, etc to excel my practice. I am wondering what everybody's thoughts are on this. Now, as a disclaimer, no need to jump down my throat (or anyone elses) and/or criticize, as sometimes happens w/ these controversial posts. Just asking for everyone's opinions and thoughts. Thanks so much, and hope all is well with everyone! xo RC Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable. Sign up now. http://mailplus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 8, 2002 Report Share Posted December 8, 2002 Hi RC, Regarding the Yoga Alliance, They do not list any sort of certification other then those organizations who have applied to have their training or school listed by that registry. In other words they do not accept even the certificate which Sri K. Pattabhi Jois issues because he has not registered with them! This is true of the B.K.S. Iyengar certication as well. They were acepting what they call "grandfathering in" for a while where people could write up their own hours and have sudents or friends sign it, but I think the deadline is up for that. All in all there is something wrong with this picture right? I'm glad you asked this question because many people are in the dark about how the whole thing works. So my opinion is don't bother with them. Pursue your practice and get a true certification that means something from a real teacher. ashtanga yoga, Rock Chick <rokchik666> wrote: > Hello Everyone, > First thanks to everyone for their opinions and > thoughts on migranes, i'm feeling much better! > > > I would like to get everyone's thoughts on the Yoga > Alliance.

Guest guest Posted December 9, 2002 Report Share Posted December 9, 2002 Some organisation is not bad, otherwise you get situations like that in Ashtanga-Yoga, where only one man in the world is allowed to certificate people to teach his method. I cannot be d'accord with that. There are more not only good, but very good teacher (Lino, Scott, David) who has deep insights and are able to certificate people, doesn't they? A real good yoga-teacher in the tradition of his "profession" yoga would be open enough to say: it's not only my thing and there are good men around me. - You find this human item even in the politics where the old men don't want to share their power. And these old men don't always do good things (only for themselves). Parents don't want to loose their power about their children. And PJ don't want to loose his hand over AY. It's not a successful developmen for the future of AY. Lu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 13, 2002 Report Share Posted December 13, 2002 Interesting to note that none of the teachers you mention list with Yoga Allience hmmmmmm......... why is that? In fact see if you can find one highly regarded ashtanga teacher there. ashtanga yoga, lu_38_de <no_reply> wrote: > Some organisation is not bad, otherwise you get situations like that > in Ashtanga-Yoga, where only one man in the world is allowed to > certificate people to teach his method.
