Yes we will always be students - it is so true that the more we learn, the more we are humbled by the magnificence of our lives and the teachings that have been handed down to us, from whatever tradition or teacher.<br /><br />Simon is indeed a national treasure, I remember having dinner with him on a couple of occasions when he visited Adelaide about 10 years ago, he was delightful! I never did his workshops though as his focus then was very technical. Glenn Ceresoli has probably had the greatest influence on my practice and teaching.nobodhihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04471854227560555251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3365190850105997066.post-10992376371084496952012-09-21T16:50:45.389-07:002012-09-21T16:50:45.389-07:00Hey there!

I appreciate that there's more of us out there that need our time alone and away from the modern world in order to feel well!!<br /><br />I really liked reading this post. I think your feelings are completely valid - you should only go to a yoga class if you want to. If you feel like you have all of the tools you need, then do what works for you.<br /><br />That said, personally, I always consider myself a yoga student first, and teacher second. No matter how long I teach, I always expect to have a teacher. <br /><br />Spiritually, I've had the same teacher since 2001. I don't see him very often any more but he's the person I look to for inspiration. Mostly because he's always growing, learning and evolving his own practice.<br /><br />In terms of asana, that same teacher is a major inspiration. But here in Australia I also look to the teachings of Simon Borg Olivier. Not sure if you know who he is, but he should be classified as a national treasure!<br /><br />In Melbourne, I practice with one of his senior teachers - someone I also admire. And I see Simon whenever he comes to town.<br /><br />For me it's not so much about feeling like I always have to have "something" to reach for, as the feeling of humbling myself before the teachings of yoga. I can't possibly know everything, not after a mere 12 years of study and practice!<br /><br />So... different strokes for different folks. But I think we should always look for opportunities to learn, from any given situation. Not that I think that means you should start going to yoga classes. Not unless you want to. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3365190850105997066.post-49174679074081006002012-09-17T18:56:38.078-07:002012-09-17T18:56:38.078-07:00Love this post!

This shift really does seem to change the practice.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
