It's
straightforward why John Friend very suggests the book Yoga Body: The Origins
of Modern Posture Yoga teacher training "for every earnest understudy of
yoga." Because, Mark Singleton's theory is an all around inquired about
uncover of how present day hatha yoga, or "stance rehearse," as he
terms it, has changed inside and after the training left India.
This
accentuation is in itself a commendable endeavor for understudies of everything
yoga; to understand and acknowledge that your yoga may not be an
indistinguishable sort of yoga from my yoga. Basically, that there are numerous
ways of yoga.
It is while
doing these examinations that Singleton gets into water substantially more
blazing than a Bikram sweat. Hence I waver in giving Singleton a straight A for
his generally magnificent paper.
Singleton
asserts his venture is exclusively the investigation of current stance yoga. In
the event that he had adhered to that extend alone, his book would have been
awesome and gotten just honors. Be that as it may, lamentably, he confers a
similar screw up such a significant number of present day hatha yogis do.
All Yoga teacher training styles are fine, these hatha yogis say. All
homonyms are similarly great and legitimate, they assert. But that homonym,
which the social relativist hatha yogis see as a presumptuous form of yoga.
Why? Since its followers, the traditionalists assert it is a more profound,
more otherworldly and customary from of yoga.
