A Teacher on Their Phone During Yoga Class? That’s Not Okay… or is it?
This is Ashtanga Yoga Tech Support. Real questions from the yoga community, answered. The Question Hi everyone! I’m fairly new to yoga, (had my first class a few years ago and had been doing it very on and off for until a few months back when I started going more regularly) so I don’t exactly know what is “standard practice” in different classes and how the teacher should/can behave – which is why I was hoping to get some thoughts on this. Recently I went to my first yin yoga class – we were doing the (what I gathered) standard yin yoga elements, so very relaxed, mostly on the ground with eye.

Ignorance is the Cause of Suffering: Overcoming Avidya with Yoga
Understanding Avidya: Overcoming Ignorance through Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras
In this video, we delve into the concept of Avidya, or ignorance, as outlined in Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras. Avidya is identified as the root cause of suffering, distorting our perception of the self, the world, and our relationships. We explore four key components of Avidya: mistaking the impermanent as permanent, misconstruing the impure as pure, confusing pain with pleasure, and identifying with the non-self. By fostering discernment and self-study, we can overcome these ignorances, leading to more authentic relationships and an enriched internal world.
