The Perseverance of Teaching Yoga

Why do most of the students lack the capability of becoming yoga teachers? Did anyone notice that people who do not persevere with the task of doing yoga on a regular basis disappear in a short time? Usually a student who is flexible and quick to perform in every direction on his first class leaves the class saying "Is that all in the yoga class?" Most of us know that there is much more to yoga than sheer suppleness. But how can a teacher make his student conscious of this in his class? Some teachers skip the initial lessons for a newcomer who is flexible and include them in the advance course. This happens much to the disappointment of established and dedicated yoga students who have been training for years.

The main problem is that a yoga teacher has forgotten the prime ingredient in teaching which is the perseverance of the art to make an exceptional yoga student. That ingredient is perseverance and that is what separates the talented student who evolves into a yoga teacher.
