"The best fix is \u200b\u200bthe one that remains invisible "
.
.
I think all yoga teachers we have wondered about how to correct the student in a yoga session, to what extent and at what time, and perhaps most of us have sinned by excess of zeal or too condescending. True to correct what we did with the best intentions, the benefit of students, their learning and their welfare, but sometimes the results were not expected.
Let's start this discussion by reviewing the same word often leads to confusion, correction reminiscent improvement and perfection, but this term leads to meanings as correct, rebuke or censure. Students can feel
after a wave of correction is not doing well, he is wrong, and perhaps the teacher's eyes, real or imagined, is felt as censorship.
If we look becomes a heavy slab hardly the student's soul will fly in pursuit of its own expression. In this sense so that the correction will become a support with the other and releasing tensions compensation ourselves, as teachers, we must make a serious reflection on the model we propose in our classes, the air we breathe in them, the requirement that mediates the deal we have with our students.
As teachers we must avoid arrogant gesture which ostensibly tells the other what is wrong. Sometimes just the presence enhances the effect, others a hand relaxed in a zone of tension calls for a review postural also a question about how you feel makes the students feel heard and respected. In the end the best fix is \u200b\u200bthe one that remains invisible but is gradually making its effect.
correct not only the physical handling, correct in first place with the proper guidelines that lead the overall pace of the session and nuances that make the individual strains for better self-regulation. These guidelines should be addressed at three levels in the performance of postures. At first we put more emphasis patterns of body awareness and breathing, to maintain stability, rooting, projection, symmetry, tilt, etc. But secondly, we give guidelines on the realization, the convey confidence or neglect, which shows the feeling of each, cultivating and enhancing awareness of listening. Finally, they must have guidelines on the significance with spaces to live the quiet, to connect with the self, to perceive the unity of our surroundings and integrate the different dimensions of human being without losing sight of its sacredness.
Through these guidelines we generate a substrate of consciousness in the student so that he has the keys to own accord, of doing without effort. This pedagogy inherent in Yoga classes is the best tool for correction, the student is self-regulating itself, aided by our complicity. If, however, we realize that we have corrected the same position again and again to the same student is that something has failed. Maybe the same insecurity of this prevents him from understanding the subtleties of the correction, or it may establish a comfortable room where you've lost your attention.
remember, however, that yoga is a process and that the sthira-sukha as a dynamic process to find comfortable footing and takes time. So there's a first time to land on Yoga to know their language and their ways without overwhelmed by technology and a time to make accurate corrections to lay the theoretical foundations of practice, to recreate the architecture of each asana. First you gain confidence, then we will go deeper.
This does not mean that the teacher is very strict and is very attentive to those positions that can damage or those gestures that generate too much stress. In other words, the yoga teacher is a caregiver, but not hiperprotege, nor over-exhausts. What do we know the true needs of the students?
Say that each student has the pace of living and learning process that must be respected and the goal may not be to the professor, but, rather, allow it to be done in a mutual dialogue, deep listening. Remember the same messages that remind us of Yoga that we should not identify with the results. We should never accuse a frustration because the student does not progress at the desired pace. We, as teachers, we can only create the right conditions to produce an improvement, a personal search or a spiritual awakening.
And that is why we have to question a fixed model and impotentizador more to give wings to the young student. And this model is called perfection. How many have felt uncomfortable because we could not do raised position, uncertain because our knees are not articulated an immaculate lotus meditation? Really it looks Yoga, Yoga that captures the perfection of the positions is the true Yoga, Yoga of the union?
While it is true that everyone there is a desire for improvement, most denied or more power, the pursuit of perfection is not part of the perennial wisdom. Perfection is not an ideal life but one's own ego, his own self-worth. Think there is an absolute truth or that there is a role model to follow is to deny the biodiversity of the universe itself. Obviously, the beauty of every thing or being in the universe is what it is, true to itself, and not wanting something else.
could suggest that the term light is not interchangeable with that of perfection, they might even be opposed because it is the loss of perfection and anxiety which leads to full acceptance of reality.
For Classical Yoga, Ishvara is not really a god, a creator and omnipotent God would contemplate as here in the West, is outside of creation. Patanjali incorporates it into his aphorisms it contains elements of a mystical Yoga can be a great boost in the performance of the yogi. So we can glimpse that Ishvara is actually a Mega-Yogi projected at infinity, an archetype of accomplishment to reach Samadhi.
yogi I think really wants to be Ishvara, but talk to him. The presence of divinity helps us to accelerate our improvement but not necessarily confusing levels of experience. Obviously this speech
we have to bring the reality of our experiences. Behind the perfectionism are anger and resentment that is opposed to real life, does not accept their own limitations, which rebelled against the error in frustration when we all know that the error is part of any learning process, and that the limits represent a wise counsel of prudence. Nothing is free in our lives, even tension.
When teaching Yoga is not suitable intervene too much, merely a channel of energy that are released. And we must not invalidate the model that each student brings to strongly propose our own, it is not so much for us to imitate but to recognize them between curiosity and the same mystery that arises in them, which as we know is connected with the great mystery.
So if we emerges an inner smile when practicing Yoga is that we are on track because we are savoring the moment and we have not blinded to the goal.
Shanti Om.
