Jealous teachers?

[Guest guest]

Hello All,

 

Has anyone with multiple teachers had to deal with

such situations? One teacher feeling inferior/jealous

over another teacher if you attend more classes of one

versus another. How did you handle such a delicate

situation?

 

Any help would be much appreciated. If your response

is "don't care about it" or "ignore it", please do not

respond to my question.

 

Gracias.

Gayathri.

 

There is nothing more worse for a teacher than a talented student -- My "prefers

to be anonymous" peer

Hi Gayathri

That is a shame that you are having such an experience. If these

teachers are yogis/yoginis then hopefully they have found their true

selves. Yoga is about finding who you really are. Ask them in they

know their yamas & niyamas. Those are the first two of eight limbs

of yoga. There are five sub-limbs. See below:

 

 

YAMA is conduct toward others, moral observances or social

discipline, including:

AHIMSA: Non-violence or non-harming

SATYA: Truthfulness

ASTEYA: Non-stealing/non-covetousness

BRAHMACHARYA: Chastity/moderation in sex/control of sexual energy

APARIGRAHA: Greedlessness

 

NIYAMA is conduct toward self, individual discipline or restraints,

including:

SHAUCHA: Purity in thought, speech and action

SANTOSHA: Contentment

TAPAS: Asceticism (discipline/practice – not

overindulging/keeping the heat up)

SVADYAYA: Self-study to achieve Self-Realization

ISHVARA-PRANIDHANA: Devotion/surrender to God or a Higher Power

(or the higher power of you)

 

Hope this helps. If this behavior persists, I would find a new

studio.
