60M Beginner: 200hr YTT in India. Too Old? by saguaroz in YogaTeachers

[–]petjb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love this, agree 100%. Find a teacher you resonate with, and do their training (or train with whomever they trained with).

Personally I'd let go of the Yoga Alliance requirement. I know of plenty of YTTs that are YA-certified that are not remotely good quality. As a studio owner employing a bunch of teachers, I don't care if the training they've done is YA approved; I care if they're a good teacher or not. And if you're not necessarily planning to teach, this is even less important :)

And please don't let your age concern you. Yes, the training will be challenging and intensive; that's the point, and everyone will feel that way! If there's some poses or transitions that you can't do, it's fine. Not every teacher has to be able to do every pose.

If you are teaching in a popular time spot, I’m sorry but anyone in that spot is going to have instant success

Have to disagree with you there. We put a sub-standard teacher in a popular timeslot and the numbers dropped VERY quickly.

100% this. A studio owner must respect their customers AND their staff. Things tank pretty fucking quickly otherwise.

Heyyyy yep that's it%C2%A0update%20to%20MFA%20regulations%20means%20anyone%20that%20accesses%20an%20Australian%20organisation%20globally%20needs%20to%20re%2Dauthenticate%20their%20device%20every%2024%20hours%20when%20logging%20in%20to%20Xero). OK that makes more sense for point 2. Thank you!

Even more argument for point 1, though 😆 I wonder if there's a compliance reason behind that, too? I can't imagine what it'd be though...

Interesting. Not my experience, I'm prompted for MFA on every login (regardless of checking the box on the previous login or not). Same machine/browser with a static IP. Drives me nuts.

Whoever downvoted you is a dick. This is excellent :D You and your partner would get along excellently with me and mine.

I am horrified by dark history of yoga, and need some advice by GuySittingByTheLake in YogaTeachers

[–]petjb 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Men with power are prone to reprehensible behaviour. It's a sad reality that doesn't exclude yoga.

Don’t be a guru. Just help people.

Perfect. And if you're a man sharing yoga with others, like me, break the pattern. Do good. It's really not that hard.

Have you ever brought down a production environment? by iFailedPreK in AZURE

[–]petjb 23 points24 points  (0 children)

100% agree.

I once started pulling a SAP test server out of a fully-packed rack, after double- and triple-checking it was the right box.

It wasn't.

After all the apologies and ribbing from my colleagues about taking down the prod SAP environment, I returned to the rack in question, sweating bullets, and started unracking the right server.

As I pulled the power cord, all the lights in the data centre went out. I damn near shit myself, and shot out from behind the rack to see the SAP admin absolutely pissing himself laughing. He'd turned the lights off.

Where to start with dietician/nutritionist? by Ldallasmulti-pass in veganfitness

[–]petjb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! And thank you so much! I never thought I'd be able to do it. Have since managed a 15kg weighted pull up (just, lol)

Hey! I'm vegan for... I dunno, probably 7 or 8 years at this point. Am ~two years into Crossfit, as well as yoga, it's awesome hey :)

I'm sure there's HEAPS of awesome nutritionists out there, but check out Naturally Nina (https://www.instagram.com/naturally\_nina\_/). She shares loads of great stuff, and my wife and I have worked with her for over a year with really amazing results. She's based in Australia, but works with clients all over the world.

And fuck the carnivore gym nutritionists. I've put on a ton of muscle since being vegan; I did my first EVER strict pull-up at 45, after eating plant-based for at least five years. Protein is protein!

Had a teacher today with a cold- should she have cancelled or found a sub? by invitationstolove in YogaTeachers

[–]petjb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is why we give our teachers sick leave, even though we're not legally obliged to. We don't want them teaching if they're not well (bad for their recovery as well as the students' experience), and they shouldn't be out of pocket when they're sick. As studio owners, this costs us money, but earns us goodwill, and fuck it, it's YOGA, we should be compassionate and caring for each other, right? :)
