I spoiled my weekend and one whole day with Aayanger yoga .Very-2 bad experience. Now i call it "anger yoga" because teacher was only shouting and was insulting us on our dresses, on ourpostures and mistakes. I don't know why i tolerated her.perhaps because i'm not impatient like her.i wanted to tell her to go and join art of living classes for anger management. So on 2nd day many participants did not come and left the course .
i think yoga makes u calm, polite,gentle person. It brings peace of mind.It teaches u how to deal with the weird situations of your life,.how to deal with the different kind of people,different kind of situations in a balanced manner.
And the best thing which i learnt from AOL is the "LET GO" policy. Bt today's experience was horrible.I'm struggling to throw it from my mind. I'm restless since i left the class..whole day every student age ranges 35 to 75 got scolded by the teacher.
I'm amazed how a yoga teacher can be an angry person. Her attitude was miserable.Whole day she was in hyper mood and angry so neither she was happy nor she was spreading happiness.Instead she created atmosphere of fear and restlessness.Nobody was doing it interestingly.Everybody was waiting for the end of the class.
But one can learn from any situation .So i also learnt.
I learnt that we should behave in such manner that nobody gets hurt.
If we are teacher we have to be patient.A student goes to a teacher to learn not to get scolded.Every student have the different capacity of mind and body.
If a student is doing mistake she/he should tell him/her that " here you are doing wrong u should do it like this" instead of saying that "you are hopeless", "what to do with you" type sentences.Such behavior of a teacher gives student an inferiority complex,discourages him/her and student loose respect towards teacher.
I remember 5 years back when i did basic course of art of living I read about the course in a daily news paper of Dehradun and i joined it just because i loved their bhajans. i didn't know anything about this course .It was a six days course and at the end of the 6th day we all were sad that course had finished so soon.It brought so much change in my thinking, views and behavior. After that i did two repetition of same course just because i learnt and i enjoyed.
I'm not doing propaganda of "Art Of Living " course but i joined it by chance No body called me to join the course and no body told me to repeat the course.I'm talking about it because i liked it.I came out from the hall in happiest mood.
But I possess a bold and strong mind which "let go" others with their attitude and i'm a person who deals with my weaknesses myself and moves on with the strong points of my personalities.
