When one adventures into the Self, into the longest and blissful journey, there are many ways of understanding and different ways of learning..
There are books of course, there are many classes, many teachers and if one is lucky enough there is the discipline for the personal practice… and yes there are more sources, nature, meditation, etc.. but one in particular as title reveals by itself, its very interesting, learning yoga by teaching yoga..
“You do not really understand something unless you can explain it to your grandmother.” A. Einstein
From my personal experience, seeing others stepping into this journey we call yoga, not only got me deeper with understanding, but brought efficiency by learning better and shorter symbols to explain even bigger, complex to abstracts.. that’s why and many other reasons i say:
“My teachers are my students and my students are my teachers..”
So, see yourself, where are you regarding this concept? Are you sometimes missing even your personal practice because you don’t really understand what’s going on? Are you addicted to your teacher? If yes.. free yourself!!
“Yoga is the fearless expression of the Self.. ” re-quoting with love my teacher, Roshan
during my initial training in India, Rishikesh, we were many practicing “on and off” yoga, some even came to enrich and get a personal discipline, personal practice with the help of the yoga teacher training.. some came with a lot of years and dedication and still left with more.. and this is not because of the teachers, training, colleagues, time or places to study.. for sure.. they all played and important role.. but this is also about the process.. about the mindset.. to come and learn.. whoever you are to take a seat.. and do a yoga teacher training..
very soon, 1-15 of February 2014, I’ll manifest as a teacher for a Yoga Teacher Training, what a richful event event for me and for the ones attending..
surrendering to the Divine..
hari om, tat sat, namaste!
