I gave away over $4000 worth of yoga & could not imagine a better investment. It's amazing how much you can grow in a year; I went from wanting to teach & being fearful, to actually teaching & wanting to learn even more.USCJanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04345900415688930045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5257811012678007955.post-77431150620780782632011-07-14T18:59:46.922-07:002011-07-14T18:59:46.922-07:00got to get your hands in the dirt to make things t...got to get your hands in the dirt to make things thrive.Sam Ricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02853592001211796697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5257811012678007955.post-26269806072177623932011-07-14T18:59:16.379-07:002011-07-14T18:59:16.379-07:00tending the garden, but damn there are a lot of we...tending the garden, but damn there are a lot of weeds. but i am totally into it.Sam Ricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02853592001211796697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5257811012678007955.post-76153940520114223812011-07-14T14:39:45.906-07:002011-07-14T14:39:45.906-07:00I shudder to think how poor a teacher I was for ma...I shudder to think how poor a teacher I was for many years!But at least I was always knowledgable in my field. <br />I like the garden metaphor but I think it needs to be made much clearer: 'we have to water continually' What is it we water with? <br />I love the idea of using the kula/ your fellow students/the group of people you practice with as a kind of a cushion ( like on a billiard table) that surrounds you and you can lean into for support and I have experienced circumstances where it worked. But can one really expect people who come to class once a week to get a workout and pay good money for it to be a part of my self development plan? I know you often emphasize that it takes effort and is painful to go through that kind of process, and nowadays there seems to be a tendency to an infantilization and banalization of existence where nothing can hurt or be painful or uncomfortable but is yoga class the place to fight that? And why should a yoga teacher with 200 hours of training be the person to help? And what can he/she do anyway? And is all this just because I live in Denmark where people are not great at dealing with emotions?:))kwajnmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08507303458844975457noreply@blogger.com
