If you are steady in your practice and you know the poses backwards and forwards with CORRECT alignment and you have the spirit of a teacher, then you can teach. I would talk to my teacher and ask them what they thought about the idea. Than I would maybe learn the business of it under them for a while and than go off on my own. Ashtanga is really not a fly by night, learn it in a weekend type of yoga. It can take years of regular practice to perfect. It is not something that can be perfected by watching videos or reading books. Even though books and such help, there are subtle factors that can only be picked up by an experianced practitioner with an eye for such details. A video can show you the postion, but it rarely does a good job of correcting alignment issues. The reason I say this is because I learned by books and video. After three or four months, I found a teacher and I was doing so many things incorrectly that it was unreal. After training with this studio, my development jumped in leapes and bounds. Anyway, I would ask a practitioner and see what they say about the matter. If there are none near you, I would look for seminars and workshops in neigboring states and attend those. are ypiashtanga yoga, "Diana Moore" <thebowentechnique> wrote: > I would be interested in becoming a teacher of Ashtanga Yoga..Can > anyone recommend somewhere to learn? > > Are there correspondence courses available? > > With kind regards, > Diana Moore > http://bowentherapy.homestead.com > http://www.cafepress.com/omsymbol Sponsor ashtanga yoga Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have only 80 more years of practicing, and I may be ready to teach. Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
