No actual yogis were harmed in the writing of this post. 

Aaaaaahhhhh.  This is awesome.  Inhale. Exhale. Inhale exhale. Inh- did
that lady just moan again?  What's up with that? Exhale. I'm so glad I
got to practice today.  I wonder what I should have for dinner.  Ah, now now monkey brain bring it back. Inhale exhale breath in breath out. Mmmmm.  Did the teacher just tell me to undulate my prana?  What does that even mean? Okay, prana. Undulate! Oh shit. don't laugh don't laugh don't . . . exhale Breath in breath out. In out in out in out.  You are out! I wonder if I'll get to watch project runway this week. I missed last week. Who got kicked off?  Good job monkey brain!! Got me again.  Breathe baby.  Just breathe. Brea… what the hell does that lady keep moaning for?!? What is going on over there? It sounds like sex moans! Is she aware she is doing this? You are keeping me from undulating my prana, moaning myrtle!

 Whoa.  Yogi mama.  chill.  She's not doing it to piss you off. What do
you care?  Oh monkey brain, you are right. She's probably not even
aware she's doing it.  Ooh there goes my hamstring again. Better pull it back. Ahhhh inhalation exhalation. Peace. Love.  Oh I miss my little girl.  I'm so lucky! I've got my yoga and my family and everything is so perfect and  would you please stop making those fucking moaning noises!!!?!??! Are you having an orgasm over there??! Do we need to call 911?!? What the fuck is wrong with that lady?  Oh shit. Sorry. I don't know what came over me.  That's okay Leigh, I know you are trying your best.  I am, monkey brain, I am.  But that lady is really moaning loud!  I know she is Leigh, I know.  But it'll be alright.  You've only got 3 more breaths, you should probably go back to trying to undulate your prana.  You're right, monkey brain, thanks.  You're welcome,  Leigh, keep on keeping on. you hear?  Will do, MB. See you in a minute, it's time to switch sides.

"why is that lady touching me?" a hear a whisper from the back of a crowed yoga room.  a whisper back- "she's just giving you an adjustment, aren't they great?"  "what was it supposed to do?"  Now let's ignore the two coffee chatters in the yoga class (one of my giant pet peeves, worth 3 rants and at least one chapter in a book, so we will put a pin in it for now)  but Chatty Kathy has a point, why is that lady touching me?  Now I love a good sacrum press in child's pose as much as the next yogi,  note I said I love a GOOD sacrum press.  I have been told by other yoga teachers  that there are some adjustments, "you just can't do wrong!"  oh would that that were true!  the yoga world would be such a shiny happy place!  as it is, I have been on the receiving end of a not so good adjustment countless times and on the receiving end of a down right horrible, holy crap what the fuck did you just do to me "adjustment...

questions

What makes a good yoga teacher?    What makes a bad one?   It is said that no one can be good at yoga.   You either practice or you don’t and all practice is good.   That’s true in a way.   But a person can be good at asana, or good at pranayama.   If someone is really good at asana, will that make them a good yoga teacher?      Some of the best teachers I’ve ever known couldn’t do any “fancy poses”, and some of my not so favorite teachers have crazy physical practices, but are the two things even related?     I have a lot of questions today as I ponder my relationship with my yoga practice.   Do I have a good practice?   Am I a good teacher?   I have been told, by someone very serious, that my style of yoga isn’t real yoga.   I like crazy vinyasa flow.   Or power yoga for lack of a better word.    Some people believe that the crazy fast work out style yoga is somehow missing the point.  ...
