ust like everything else, yoga is a practice that calls for a good amount of responsibility. The art itself can be mastered over time. You just need to keep in mind what yoga is and isn’t. Doing so will take you a long way in the practice, which may also eventually allow you to help someone else.
With yoga, everyone and anyone can be a teacher, even with or without the presence of a certification. Regardless of the amount of knowledge you gain, someone can still benefit from what you have acquired through experience. Remember one of the philosophies of yoga, “Your teacher is within yourself.”
All the teachings are universal, available for everybody. When faced with doubt, simply return to basics.
