Three Reasons I Rarely Touch Yoga Students
By Kristine Kaoverii Weber, founder of Subtle Yoga It’s 2003 and I’m at a very famous yoga teacher’s workshop in North Carolina. Many of my yoga teacher friends were buzzing, they were so excited and couldn’t wait for this teacher to come to town. They encouraged me to tag along. When I walked in, the room was packed – about 100 people. And there were 5 or 6 assistants strategically placed throughout. I am not a naturally very flexible person, and I was by far one of the least flexible in … [Read more...]

Why Trauma Informed Yoga?
By Nicole Allan, lead trainer at Kawai Purapura Yoga School A ‘Trauma Informed’ approach to yoga has been slowly making its way onto the yoga scene for a number of years now, offering invitation and choice at every opportunity.

Does ambition belong on your yoga mat?
Teaching yoga as your career By Veronica King Luckily my first and most influential teacher always spoke about being a yoga professional. This was her livelihood and treated it with that respect. This helped shape me. As a yoga teacher, I would always treat my career with that same respect. It's not uncommon to feel shy about sharing this. There is in the teaching of any spiritual tradition an ongoing tension between being of service and charging for that service. You have every … [Read more...]
Interview with Carlos, Part 3
What to look for in a yoga teacher, By Cara Butler In this final instalment of conversations with my teacher, Carlos Pomeda, I asked what advice he would give someone seeking a ‘Teacher’ or ‘Guru’ in these modern yoga times.

With SO many yoga trainings on offer, with huge variance in … [Read more...]
Conversations with Carlos – Part 2
By Cara Butler. Carlos does not shy away from challenging topics and in fact considers it a part of his yoga practice to stay engaged, educated and involved in societal and global issues. Even when it would be easier to turn inward and ignore the external chaos. This is one of the reasons I hold Carlos in such high regard. I have observed all too often in the yoga world that the teachings and practices are used by some to border on what I would call self-obsession. I … [Read more...]
