Yoga Teacher Training Forum

Namaskar Gator,

Thank you for your refreshing rants. Some of what you have said is unfortunately true. This is a cause of angst among yoga teachers because politics creates turmoil. The traditional realationship between guru and student was not based on politics or large classes that are ripe for political turmoil. We can only hope that new registries will sprout with a yogic agenda. For now it is safe to say that nobody is forced into joining any registry, but there are articles on the internet that are designed to misinform those who know nothing about yoga. Many people think you have to belong to a registry to be a teacher. This we know isn't true but you can't stop people from believing a myth.

Om Shanti,

A.S. Kumar
