a teacher with direct experience.

[Guest guest]

Tom answered another of my posts Aug 10 this year, that got me thinking, this is

a section of the post:

 

" Again, a personal bias, but I don't think someone should be teaching a pose

unless they have done it themselves. Hard to know what's really going on in

a pose unless you've been there yourself. "

 

This point is something that i also believe is important when teaching. Having

direct experience and knowledge of an asana instead of textbook or third party

experience is vastly superior in my point of view and leads to a greater

understanding of the internal and physical aspects of practise for both the

teacher and the student they are tutoring.

 

Is this a view shared by most?
