Namaskar Dear Yogis,

Maybe the issue is being programmed for pushing and competition. For Yoga teachers this is not good at all. Yogic philosophy is not about competition and pushing limits. This philosophy of Yoga creates a paradox for those who are conditioned to keep pushing harder and harder.

One word for those who want to push no matter what. The word is "mortality." All of us well meaning Yogis will eventually leave this earth for the next life. Make the most of your valuable time, research new ideas, but avoid injury - lest you regret foolish mistakes that cause injuries. As we get older, we all have some regrets, but why go out of your way to hurt yourself and add to your regrets.

Hari Om Tat Sat
