Yoga Studio Conduct

In traditional contexts, the place where we practiced yoga was treated as a sacred space. There was an emphasis on how we conceptualized and treated the spaces we practiced in. There was a reason for this: it transformed the inner experience of the practitioner profoundly. How do we approach the modern yoga studio, the teacher student relationship, and the learning process in such a way that maximizes our growth experience? Our practice begins as soon as we walk into the temple/studio/dojo. The subtle ways in which we relate to our practice can open or close us to the magic of the interdependent interaction we're having with the teacher, fellow practitioners, and the space/temple we are occupying in our practice. This talk covers some silly yoga teacher rants on what bothers us (yes we're human and things bother us), how we've approached the practice over the years and some of the subtly sublime inner experiences and magical transmissions that happen in the yoga space when the right factors align in our conduct, practice and space. Topics Covered: - Mat Whipping - Mindful talking in the yoga space - Cell phones - The benefit of holding the yoga center as a sacred space - Trusting the wisdom of the teacher - The secret power of the Student-Teacher dynamic - Student and Teacher both receive blessings from right conduct - The magic that opens up in the yoga space when we approach the practice and space with respect - How to magically coax your teacher into sharing hidden yoga secrets
