Want to experience rare private yoga classes with Jivamukti founders Sharon Gannon and David LIfe, a six-month membership to their studio, and “The Jivamukti Enlightenment Kit,” which includes books, CDs, mats, clothes, and accessories? How about a membership to Eddie Stern’s Ashtanga Yoga school plus one private a month for a year? Or Cyndi Lee’s “A Place to Call OM” package, which includes a 10-class card to her studio plus a weekend workshop?

Teaching: It’s Harder Than It Looks, Part 2
September 16th, 2009

To accompany an article about the economic woes of yoga teachers, Slate created a video about all the other less-than-pleasant things that go along with teaching yoga. I think it’s a must-watch. Go ahead. I’ll wait. (Sorry, no way to embed this video here.)
Let’s review:
Yoga teachers get hit on–a lot–with really bad pick up lines? Check.
They find themselves a little too up-close-and-personal with their students? Check.
Students say really inappropriate and uncomfortable things? Oh yeah.
Sometimes teachers don’t really feel up to teaching, but power through it anyway? Sure.
Sometimes a teacher will be still hung over from the night before and showed up without bothering to shower or sleep (much less plan out a class) before they come into the studio
