stopping ashtanga - Page 2

02-15-2007, 08:42 AM

i teach ashtanga full time as a 1on1 teacher, but decided to cut down
and move into another field.
also slowed down on my own practice, if my body wants to stay in a
pose for an extra 3 or 5 breaths then so be it. no pushing!
everything is very 'organic'.

going to look for cod liver oil supplement + glucosamine.

thanks for all the great advice and help.

Whole world is crazy about Yoga. But it has been up to the physical fitness only. Yoga has immense potentials if done in order and exactly the way it was introduced. I've met a person who learnt Kundalini yoga infront of his/her Gurudeva. The white crystal rosary around the neck of yoga instructor would burn during the practice of some postures n pranayams. The teacher used to wear the rosary to keep his body cool.
No time is needed to get the perfection if under the guidance of capable Guru. We need nothing but a true loving heart...blank totally...no thing inside.
All, yes all so called Gurus are BEgger themselves, what they'd give us??? So my friend I suggest you to not teach anything like that but keep on your practice and search for the real one.

dare to watch your own entity first.
