I've thrown out my back not once but twice helping stiff heavy people stand up from backbend because other teachers had done it with them and they expected it from me, too. Worth it?

This faux pas in satya has cost me; he took this to mean I can only teach an intro class. I really can teach a led primary thank you very much.... I know the vinyasas and the typical David Swenson adjustments (and some others), can count in Sanskrit up to 17 for sun salutation b, say "inhale" and "exhale" in an Indian accent (just kidding)... the whole 9 yards... and I certainly can teach a less advanced class up to navasana and then go into finishing.... but OPPS I was too honest about not wanting to teach a mysore class in which people might be doing asanas beyond my experience - so here I am stuck with the "moola bundha is..." classes.<BR/><BR/>Now I have learned that I can levitate if called upon and if I cannot - I should certainly not announce it ...Matrikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11853418628358636939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6229602.post-1163715908906026052006-11-16T17:25:00.000-05:002006-11-16T17:25:00.000-05:00ever notice how many yoga teachers dont practice, ...ever notice how many yoga teachers dont practice, yet continue to teach?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6229602.post-1163691007058914922006-11-16T10:30:00.000-05:002006-11-16T10:30:00.000-05:00I hear rumors that the former speaker of the house...I hear rumors that the former speaker of the house, Denny Hastert, is going to start teaching yoga, yoga for fat asses. <BR/>He sure has padded a bunch of stuff,<BR/>(pork)<BR/> including & notwithstanding his rear end.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
