namaste everyone!
I am curious to hear what you believe sets you apart from other yoga teachers who follow the standard western one hour session.
what do you think is a standard approach, what is it that a teacher does that makes you think they have gone above and beyond the norm. I particularly liked an intermediate class taught by a male instructor whose energy was particularly calm and inviting. His foundation was more traditional vs the westernized form of exercise. he used proper names of poses did his best to educate the class while teaching with the little time he did have. what is it that separates you from the status quo and makes your style special?
I am traveling to india and took the opportunity to take a teacher training course for 600 US dollars (150 hour certificate) or 950 US dollars (200 hour certificate) in Rishikesh from http//:www.rishikeshyogpeeth.com. this is certified through the Indian Government but I am not entirely sure if it is certified with the YA as this is entirely new to me =)
if anyone would like to take a look at the website, which sadly is not as informative as it could be (i have had to gather most information via email) and tell me what you think. it is not quite as intensive as i would like but the next best and cheapest option was in madurai for 1700 and i simply can not afford that.
bless you all, much love to you.

Re: what about a teacher places them above and beyond the rest
Sun, August 31, 2008 - 1:05 PMIs this a question or an advertisement?
Kundalini teachers don't really follow the standard western/hatha format, teacher's training for them is more about learning to connect with the energy and hold that space for the class rather than perfect the poses. -

Sun, August 31, 2008 - 6:52 PMNamaste Geo,
And no this is not an advertisement, this was initially posted in the yoga teachers forum because i am interested in becoming certified to teach. I decided to post in most yoga forums just to see what people like in a yoga teacher, that's all, and if someone happens to be knowledgeable in ashrams and TTC's i was hoping they might take a look at the site and tell me what they think. My apologies if I posted this in the wrong tribe or it gave the wrong impression.
however thank you for the insight and your opinion. I lean towards Kundalini yoga and was wondering what those of like mind think as well. i like the idea of connecting with energy rather than just exercising though yoga in general is very new to me.
thank you for your time =)
peace love and light -
