The secret is to find a balance in life. It has been said that yoga is not for one who eats too much or too little. The object is to achieve moderation in all aspects of ones life, the middle path. It is often said that you teach what you most need to learn, hence you will find that as well as teaching, you will be learning from your pupils. We are all individuals and you will find that the student will ultimately decide what is right or wrong for them, from this you will learn the best ways of helping others overcome certain difficulties and dis-abilities by adapting Yoga postures accordingly.
Yoga is a vast subject, a lifetimes study.
The more you can read and explore about Yoga the more interesting it will become. The aim of this course is to give you a firm foundation from which to go on building and developing your skills as a teacher. As a yoga teacher it is more important to make sure that the students have a solid grasp of the basics than to teach many different, complicated postures. Students should be encouraged to develop all aspects of their lives to a state of balance including diet etc. The student will obtain little by attending classes once a week and then doing nothing towards practice the rest of the week.
