Why To Become A Yoga Teacher [e-book]

My friend, you are reading this e-book because you understand the importance of physical and mental health and I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart. We are our own saviours! Grab a glass of wine if you are at home, grab a cup tea or coffee if you are outside because this e-book will take few minutes and I will appreciate if you read it only if you have next 10 minutes to dedicate to the introduction to this LIFE CHANGING experience. You may be at a crossroad of making a career switch to a Yoga Teacher OR you are a Yoga enthusiast who haven’t thought about being on the other side of the room as a Yoga Teacher. Here are some of the great REASONS WHY you should take up a yoga teacher’s training: 1. JOURNEY!

• You know what is the most important journey of a human being? I would say it’s from our heart to our mind or vice-versa. Imagine a point where your heart and mind agree, all decisions and actions will be a bliss and you know you are on the right path.

2. BETTER!

• Yes, you read it right! We might think we know ourselves pretty well but my friend, we are far from that. Even after a decade of teaching Yoga, I think I NEED to know more of myself better.

3. LEVEL! (??)

• We deal with a lot of situations on daily basis whether it is emotional, practical or professional. We have our own getaways but sometimes we are not sure if they are correct or not. It’s just like giving an answer in an exam, we attempt but sometimes we don’t know if its correct or not.

4. ART!

• I was reading this famous book named “ART OF WAR” again and every time I read it, I can relate so many things that Yoga has taught me. It seems so complicated, so unfamiliar and so far away in the starting but after years of practice, I can relate to things, I can see clearly.

5. DEMONS!

• Trust me, we all have our own demons. It’s just that we have not met them yet. Just imagine if we know and exclude them from our life?

6. AGE!

• I am laughing while writing this but my first teacher told me that you stop aging when you start practicing yoga! I thought of course because we stretch, flex and improve blood circulation and all the scientific reasons but on the way I realised that we (stop or age) mentally as well.

7. FINGERS!

• LOL! Just checking if you are still here, if yes, Cheers! And yes, it’s fun to be upside down and more than fun you will get to know why we should go upside down. P.S - I cannot walk on fingers ;)

8. GIVING!

• We all came with tight fists but will go with open hands. What are we going to carry with us to the death bed? Money, career, friends, families? You will get to know the reason of your existence and if not, at least you will look at the world from a different perspective. You will get to know the joy of giving.

9. MIRROR! (?)

• Half of the things we do in our lives, we don’t know the reason why we do it (we thought we know). I am still like this though, I just follow my stupid heart and sometimes I land badly. Even if it didn’t turn out well, I gained the biggest satisfaction that I did it and something good may follow though not always immediately. Everything happens for a good reason! May be, after becoming a teacher you will be more aware of your doings even if not, you won’t regret.

10. DECISIONS!

• Life is based on the decisions we make, agree? If not, read it again “ LIFE IS BASED ON DECISIONS WE MAKE”. Now agree? If still not then try to process that literally our life is dependent on the decisions we make and only a healthy mind can take healthy decisions and only a healthy body can have a healthy mind. If you still don’t agree, read it again for god sake!

11. CONFIDENCE OR EGO!

• There is a very thin line between both of these words. Those who could differentiate, won the respect and position, those who could not are still running only for position.

12. MONEY!

• We all know money makes the world go round. And round. And round Again! Yoga industry is $27 billion itself in America. I am not good at Maths but I understand a billion and how many zeroes it has.

13. INVESTMENT!

• Yes yoga teachers’ training is an investment of money, time and a positive attitude. But outcome is out of the world! Read point 8 again ;)

14. EARNINGS! (OR RETURNS)

• I won’t say much but Jal is an example itself of it. Not only money but the knowledge I count the most of it.

TAKE A DECISION?

You might have multiple questions in your head right now. I think I triggered some of the emotions or scenarios or some experiences in your life. I apologise for that but if we are not going to face our demons, how are we supposed to fight them? No one will be doing it for us, we are our own saviours!
