Challenge for a yoga teacher

i observed many margiis did not do mediation properly.  You saw Normandy coast on D-day on most of the D.C.   Some lay down, some stretched out one leg, some sat and waited,  waited for end,  some put one finger on one nostril and si-si-si-....and hu-hu-hu..... with big noise...., my God, what they were doing?  He was a family acharya.  See even Acharyas do not do mediation properly.  How can they teach a good student.


20 years ago, we sat for at least 40 minutes  in D.C. .  Now, sometimes shorter than 30 minutes.  One student told me it's easy to sit on padmasana, i told her it's easy for 10 minutes but not for 20 years.  I heard you did one thing daily and you can continue to do it over 3 years.  That thing will become your mission.

There is a big challenge as a yoga teacher to me.  That is you won't get sick.  i thought if you get sick your students sees you.  what will they think of you?  As a pro, you are teaching yoga class everyday.  Your students are with you everyday.  You see them changing and they also see you changing.

The last 5 years my challenge became even more, more than to have a healthy body.  My neighborhood should become a safe,  sweet and peaceful environment.  i felt sad when i heard earthquake happened in Nepal.  That means there was no high-hand spiritual person.  There was no moral and virtual person.    When Mother Teresa stayed in Isreal, there was no bombing for three days.  After an earthquake, there was a building collapse inTainan.  Many people got injured and died.  Not long ago, there was a kiirtan tour around Taiwan island.   i wondered they stayed in Tainan or not.  Did any people do a proper kiirtan in Tainan?

Challenge! Challange! Challange every day, every minute.
