Who Should Be Allowed To Teach Yoga To The Public?
...opefully, a board of Yoga teachers would be responsible, but would each one favor his, or her, style in the process? There is bound to be some bias. So, which is more important, a perfect head stand or in-depth knowledge of the Bhagavad Gita?

This will help students, who have different needs, and wish to improve their lives. Anyone who helps someone is practicing a lifestyle we know as karma Yoga.

Teaching Hatha Yoga for peace of Mind
...Peace of mind seems like a fantasy to most people. Even when they sleep, their dreams do not give them rest. The mind of an optimist can have pessimistic thoughts, which surface during sleep patterns. That said, can Yoga really help you find peace of mind?
When one of us decides to become a Yoga teacher, there are many different reasons why, but peace of mind is usually part of the reason. It is gratifying when we empower our Yoga students to find peace of mind.
Sometimes, a Yoga teacher chooses to spread the word, for his, or her, own peace of mind. Within personal Yoga practice, and teaching Yoga classes, most of us find a retreat from the rat race. Yoga class becomes more than a temporary rest for the mind.
