Ok,

 

 

 

Procrastination is just a symptom NOT the problem - just like laziness

or boredom.

 

 

 

The following FEELINGS make contribute to this Problem..

 

 

 

-Intimidation

 

-Self Worth

 

-Fear

 

 

 

Tell me, what overall belief would someone have to have about themselves

in order to experience the above FEELINGS?

ashtanga yoga yoga fear..?

 

 

 

hi there,

its been a long time since i visited the group... i have a question for

everyone, or advice to ask... i have been interested in yoga for about

3-4 years now, esp. ashtanga... i had got book, dvds, cds etc...and

when i do do yoga, i feel great, my day completely changes... but here

is the problem: i don't know why for the life of me, but i

procrastinate doing yoga... does that make any sense?? i mean, i set

goals, promise myself, remind myself how much i enjoy it..but i feel a

little intimidated going to a class (i don't knwo why, im pretty fit

and i know that its not about doign it 'right') and to do it at home,

im either lazy or just mega procrastinating..perhaps i don't think deep

down that i deserve such peace of mind..i have no idea...anyone have

any ideas? i really want to start developing myself with yoga and

eventually i hope to be a teacher...but how on earth will i achieve

those things if i fear starting it? do i fear success??? or failure??

help..

How can you aspire to BE a teacher when you don't even HAVE a teacher?

 

....book, dvds, cds etc. are no substitue for an authentic teacher.

No need to be nasty. Yes, sometimes people goal a little too far ahead of

themselves, but don't we all at some point?!??! Why can't we just be kind

and supportive to others without judgement and unkindness? Let each person

go through their learning process??

I'm currently working towards my teaching certification. It took

years to build up the self esteem to finally take the plunge. The

last few months of study have been rewarding beyond compare.

Learning about the many interesting ideas behind and beyond the

physical practice have brought me a wonderful sence of peace and

belonging. Don't be afraid to do the things that make you feel good

or that feel right. You don't HAVE to go to a class or HAVE a

teacher - you only need to listen to your body and your inner voice

to know that yoga is something you are meant to do. I think you

already know it too. Practice, read and learn what you can, when the

time is right you'll find a way to make your teaching dreams happen.

Best of luck to you.

I live in Hong Kong and I have been able to find someone who'd studied directly

under Guruji - either certified or authorized... Sharath even was here for a

week to lead an Intensive Ashtanga Workshop...what we're really after is the

practice right?

 

I do agree that books, DVDs, CDs are not sufficient, Just challenge yourself to

make the BIG first step ~ PRACTICE!

Hi Shamira,

 

I lived in Toronto for 10 years, almost 10 years ago and that is where I

started yoga. My teacher was Ron Reid from the Downward Dog studio. I

hosted him and his partner, Marla, here in Paris a couple of months ago for

a weekend workshop. He is a great teacher and I highly recommend him! When

I lived in Toronto he didn't have the Downward Dog studio, which he opened

with Diane Bruni (another very good teacher!), but I assume that most of the

teachers they would work with would be good. Ron has an amazing asana

practice but he is also a nice person and very respectful of the students in

that he lets everyone progress at their own pace without pushing too hard.

Anyway, I could go on and on about his teaching, if you have a chance or the

desire, try a class.

 

Good luck!

Linda

if you live in toronto, come practice with paul & rachelle gold at

ashtanga yoga shala at bloor and spadina www.aystoronto.ca

 

they are the only authorized teachers in toronto. currently they are

in india studying with guruji and sharath. matt corglioni (sp?) who is

also authorized is taking over for them while they're gone. i think

it's also the only exclusively mysore style studio in canada. feel

free to e-mail me if you want more info.

namaste,

jms
