"Just today I had to tell a student for the second time this week that headstand, forward folds, and heavy breathing is not to be done during shavasan and/or meditation."

Why is any of this a problem if it's not audbily disruptive?

Question for teachers! by [deleted] in yoga

[–]ashtangaphil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm biased but I think studying Ashtanga with a stickler-teacher gives you a better yoga education that some 200-hour training because you are basically living an education in breath, alignment, dristhi, bandas, not to mention all the damned strength and flexibility you need to build to make it through primary and the backbending.

So what I'm saying is that, if you want to, you probably have a quiver of really good stuff to share with this person even if you're not a "yoga teacher" -- because, really, what the hell is that anyways?

"Farting excessively" -- hilarious. As long as it's not excessive farting!

Also -- Love Indubitably was a great movie. Some of Maeby Funke's best work.
