Are You A Yoga School Snob? Well, I Might Be One… Beware!

A Yoga School Snob

If your yoga school had a grading scale you’d make straight As. You’ve found
a yoga style that resonates with you, so you devour every morsel of information
that comes from your teachers’ lips and apply it to your practice. You’ve read
all the books, twice. You put your mat down in the same place in every class,
and your best friends are all the people who put their mats down beside yours
(they’re yoga geeks, too).

But be mindful not to leave others out of your unique community. Beginning
students and followers of other yoga disciplines have a lot to offer, too.
Welcome them warmly, and keep an open mind about what you can glean from a
new perspective.

I love Anusara yoga and its teachings are totally what I can connect with. Anusara is my chosen style and hopefully one day, I can go for my Anusara immersion with John Friend. One day!

However, I do admire the other yoga styles. Each has its benefits and can help different people with different needs. For example, Ashtanga is great for building discipline and core strength. The ashtanga yogis are very powerful and graceful at the same time when they practice. But what I really admire about them is their enormous amount of discipline that they have with their own practice. They do the same sequence every single day until the practice itself really becomes their meditation. Meditation in motion…

So what type of yogi are you?
