O.K. so I keep coming back here again when things are more than I can handle. The universe keeps putting me in this position of deep discomfort in that as soon as I find a teacher that is someone who I look up to , can learn from, trust and feel that they can direct me to a better understanding of yoga asana they are taken from me. Not literally of course, by “taken from me” I mean they move locations or move on or in my latest incarnation I have moved 90 minutes from my old Yoga Kula.
This new community i live in is so very different in that the teachers are not so much concerned about their students or their posture alignment but more about calling out random postures for 90 minutes without even looking at their students. They are in some cases so busy looking at their reflections in the mirrors they don’t even notice the student who are putting themselves in harms way by not aligning their bodies properly in postures.
The closest studio is 60 minutes from me, which I can only get to once a week.
I’m just not sure why this isn’t enough for me. I certainly don’t feel like I need a teacher to “hold my hand”. But not feeling part of a yoga community is throwing me a little off balance.
I’m not sure why my own home practice isn’t enough? I just feel I need more.
Any thoughts from the wise Pandara, Inner Athlete or perhaps Hubert?
I’ll Bumb it for you. Goodluck with your predicament!
