teacher training in india

[Guest guest]

You are right: there are many options available, and you need to be

careful.

The traditional Indian way of teaching is not at all like the West,

and involves much dictatorial attitude from the teacher (with beatings

with sticks if you don't do what they want) and also absurd

subservience from some Western students to Indian teachers who frankly

don't deserve it!

So you are right to be careful.

 

I suggest you try:

www.brahmaniyoga.com

www.yogagoa.com

and

www.ashiyana.com

 

all of whom offer a good range of courses and workshops, for all

levels including teachers.

 

I think taht looking for Yoga Alliance accrditation is a good criteria!

Best wishes, Annie

I am looking into this option and there are many different schools

there, it is hard to know what is right for me. I'd love to get some

feedback.

Frankly, I am appalled by the way you view the Indian teaching tradition. I

have no idea where you got that information about trainings in India. I have

been there for long periods of time studying. I am farmiliar with the culture

and the workings of the system over there and I think that you need to be a

little more open minded and not so quick to make assumptions before you spread

such nasty ideas. I will be going there to do a yoga training and it will not

be via any of the western schools.

Hello!

 

Yes I have to agree. Sometimes it's difficult for us Westerners to undestand

the way of teaching in the East and the Master-Disciple relationship which is

also meant to lessen the Ego resistence. Obedience and submission are part of

letting go of the resistance of the ego. If we find en enlightened yoga teacher

whether it be Western or Indian these key aspects will be exercised as we learn

more about yoga and the Vedic tradition. Yoga as a path to Self-Realization,

self-inquiry or the activation of the Shakti cannot by any means be detached

from its tradition and the whole system it has derived from.

You are in for a wonderful treat and an experience of a lifetime. I

did Sivananda's TTC in Neyyar Dam, India in Kerala last year. It

was incredible. There were students from all over the world,

including many parts of India. I learned so much from them and

became really good friends. After the training, I visited them at

their homes and we write and email to each other now....Have a

Blessed Trip,

Om Namah Sivayah,

Mary

The Master-Disciple relationship is an old outdated model, sad to say. It's

totally unnecessary. Don't let 'master' quacks control you. Your ego is not the

issue. The issues is that we've become so ridiculous that we're searching in all

the wrong places for all the wrong things. Be comfortable enough in yourself and

work on your human relationships. There's nothing to search for. You already are

perfect. Nothing more to it. No bullshit master or Guru can lead you anywhere

cause there's no where to go.

yes i have to agree too that the obedience and submission are the necessary step

for seeing clearly of self ego. In Western culture we do not understand and

benefit too much from being obedience.. and have to deal with so many stronger

rebel & self ego energy inside compare to the Eastern culture.. I was in a

Buddhist retreat for a month in San Francisco and learned that the most

difficult thing for many students in the retreat, was to bow down.. too many

self image there to be embarrassed.. if we can quietly allow us to learn and be

corrected without feeling self either positive or negative reactions, allow us

to have the knowledge of yoga tradition before we come up with like or dislike

opinions.. the journey of yoga learning would full of happiness.. i would like

to go to yoga class with my local fellow India teachers and classmates if i had

the opportunity to study in India. To see the difference is also part of

learning because we would have the chance to have the

right questions emerge.. to understand why the Yoga is being told as a

spiritual practice.. life is a celebration after all.. peace & happiness..

the journey we search is to a peace of mind.. which lead no need to use " ..

bullshit.. " and such to release the inner anguish energy.. before we genuinely

acknowledged why we are perfect and there is no need to go any where else.. we

need to search & learn, and would be helped greatly with a wise Guru.. we have

the option to view everything as ridiculous and lead to a rage, or view that

everything happen for a reason and lead to a genuine understanding and peace of

mind.. i trust that with love, we are there to help each other, for those who

have mastered the skill of peace of mind, offering the guidance with love, i bow

down to accept, with gratitude..

I have thge utmost respect for Sri Krishna Pattabhi Jois. He is not a guru to me

though. I have met him and talked with him and he has great wisdom and is an

example and scholar. But, he is not a guru in my eyes. And I can't wait to study

with he and Sharath and his mum again. They are so much fun.

why are thopse the only two options.

you can simply accept that life is dukkha and that everything is temporary and

therefore not impose anything upon the natural state of things which is

impermanence.

you won't have any need for anger once you realize and appreciate the true

nature of things.

a guru is not needed for that.

you don't need to acknowledge why you are a perfect entity, it's the striving

and confusion that people themselves have created that is the issue.

 

and Pattabhi Jois himself will tell you that the true guru is in your heart and

he also says god is the true guru but since I'm an atheist, I disregard that.

But I will always be grateful to Guruji, and honour, thank and respect

him for bringing the incomparable Ashtanga system into my life, and

also Krishnamacharya and Patanjali. They are all great teachers, and

their teachings will have a permanent legacy, for me personally and

for the world.

Unfortunately, though, my Western upbringing means that I am not

programmed to accept things without some self-experience, and my way

of paying homage can never be like that of Indian students.

 

Just because I can't prostrate myself and kiss his feet doesn't mean

that I don't have huge respect for him and the deepest, highest regard.
