They are just people like you and I. They are not that special. The truth is that many students are so enamored by yoga instructors and then they just hand their power over to them. Yoga teachers aint all that!Yoga Training Guidehttp://yogatrainingguide.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8472650269693325361.post-12118252396636224572012-04-13T09:44:05.240-07:002012-04-13T09:44:05.240-07:00This five points are really astonishing and intere...This five points are really astonishing and interesting to read.

It's great to see someone with compassion and understanding that we are all human, we all make mistakes, and we all (hopefully) grow from them!<br />Blessings to you!<br />KarunaKarunahttp://spiritualwoodstock.com/spiritual-awakening/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8472650269693325361.post-67529012744382582852012-04-01T14:51:58.810-07:002012-04-01T14:51:58.810-07:00I wish the very best for John and Anusara, and I k...I wish the very best for John and Anusara, and I know personally that pain and misery can lead one to a deeper understanding of yoga. John was a man with a lot of responsibility and unfortunately he lost his way. Hopefully he's able to find his way back from his fall from grace!

Growing up I remember so many scandals, for example, the choir director sleeping with the pastor's wife. We put people on pedestals and then are shocked when we find out they are human.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18184969707852861341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8472650269693325361.post-42854398371729612992012-03-12T06:07:09.200-07:002012-03-12T06:07:09.200-07:00Nicely put E.
