My comment was simply to give a perspective of the average student. I found that as a yoga teacher, I had to find a balance because they were my main clientele, not people like you and me, and they were being alienated.

I personally put teachers into two categories. There are choreographers and there are teachers. I love choreographers. They often have the biggest classes which brings great energy and fun. I enjoy moving in a creative way but I don’t go to those classes expecting to get Samadhi so to speak. It is what it is.

Then their are teachers. People who know and live yoga down to their core. I go to them to really absorb their guru energy, bring depth to my practice & to learn.

There is no right or wrong. It just is.

I used care about things like this until an eye opening survey was done at one of the studios I worked at. To make a long story short, The students didn’t care. As long as the choreography was good, they didn’t care how long the teacher practiced or had been teaching, if they practiced, who they studied with etc.

With the proliferation of yoga studios on every corner and everybody and they grandma offering teacher training and doing teacher training, the industry and what is acceptable has shifted.

Asana practice is never a straight line .It goes through various twists and turns and what you are experiencing is one such change in direction .I too have felt it .Sometimes we do an intensive practice , sometimes we do a passive and static practice and sometimes we do not do any practice . Just accept these phases as it comes without forcing urself . Yoga practice is a life long marathon and not a 100 meter sprint ,so just accept these temporary phase of passiveness without allowing it to slide to laziness . All the best in ur practice .
