Finding the Right Yoga Teacher for You
Teachers of yoga come with variations of style and quality...To find a quality yoga instructor, you need to know what to look for. As there is no universal certification program for yoga teachers, the style as well as the quality of a yoga instructor can vary, as you can see by the following example:I had been practicing yoga in my home for a while, when I decided to take some classes at a local center. My at home "teacher" had been a collection of yoga videos and DVDs created by senior instructors with impeccable form. I was expecting the same quality of yoga instruction, when I arrived at my local class. Unfortunately, my expections were not met. The teacher who taught the class was sloppy in her style as she moved through the poses. It seemed to me that she were doing her own practice, rather than leading the class. She never came around and adjusted the alignment of any of the students. And this really annoyed me because that was the main reason I decided to attend the class. I was in need of a good teacher to see my entire body and let me know where I was missing the poses. And, finally, she was facing one way and the students were facing the opposite way, making it difficult to see what she was doing. Needless to say, I was sadly disappointed. But being optimistic, by nature, the next morning, I took another class at the same center. This time a different teacher lead the practice. Her style was more of what I was looking for. Her execution of the positions was excellent. Here technique was more to my liking as she showed the students first how to do a pose. Then she moved about the room, checking the alignment of the students and making necessary adjustments. She brought attention to those students who did a pose particularly well, so that we could follow their examples. aAnd she encouraged all of us to go a little deeper. I was very happy with the teacher, and even though the class did not fit my schedule particularly well, I attended it on a regular basis. While my initial endeavor in finding a good yoga classes was somewhat hit or miss, by asking certain questions and checking some details, you can more quickly uncover the right yoga instructor for you. Here are some aspects to consider:
Quality yoga instruction can be very important for you in your yoga journey. By keeping these ideas in mind when you search for a yoga teacher, you are very likely to find the one that is just right for you.
