The Benefits of Private Yoga Over Public Classes
Historically, yoga was taught one on one. One teacher and one student. Classically in India, a young boy was sent to live with a teacher who would guide their education, practice and development. Once the student left the teachers auspice, yoga was still taught to a single person. This took into account a person’s age, physical condition, ayurvedic constitution, ability and capacity.
Distinguishing Between Yoga Retreats: Cultural, Social, and Immersive
In my youth, I would go on retreats and pile into yurts with a sleeping bag, eating vegan food and being hungry, but still practicing 3–4 times a day with a teacher I admired. At my age… this is no longer the case. Know who you are and be honest with yourself about how you travel.
