Ep 198 Adam Keen – Surrendering to Your Yoga Teacher – Is it a Good Idea?

"The rules are just the wrapping paper."

www.keenonyoga.com | @adam_keen_ashtanga

Adam discusses the complex themes of trust and surrender within the context of yoga practice, particularly Ashtanga. He emphasizes the importance of maintaining personal autonomy and critical thinking when engaging with teachers and the practice itself. Adam warns against the dangers of surrendering blindly to a teacher's authority and advocates for a more inclusive and supportive environment in yoga classes. He highlights the need for trust to be built incrementally and the significance of creating space for individual expression and growth in yoga practice.

Key Points

· Trust should never be given blindly to a teacher.

· Surrendering one's autonomy can lead to negative experiences.

· The teacher-student relationship should be supportive and inclusive.

· Commitment to practice does not equate to surrendering to authority.

· Space in yoga allows for personal growth and self-exploration.

· Adjustments should be approached with caution and respect for individual limits.

· Trust is built through consistent and supportive interactions.

· The Ashtanga method is a tool for personal development, not a strict dogma.

· Critical thinking is essential in the practice of yoga.

· The rules of yoga are guidelines, not absolute mandates.
