YOGA can not be sold!

Hi everyone,
In these days,false yoga schools, false yoga teachers are almost
everywhere...
YOGA can be read from the sutras of Great Sage PATANJALI...
Any freak,any atletics, or jimnastics is not yoga, only doing asanas is
not yoga either...These are easily can be seen from PATANJALI. There are
8 steps in yoga,
YAMA-NIYAMA-ASANA-PRANAYAMA-PRATYAHARA-DHYANA-DHARANA-SAMADHI
All these steps have to be done when an act to be called as YOGA...
These days MANTRA SELLERS, YOGA CERTIFICATE ISSUERS, HEALERS,
CHEATHERS,trying like yoga instructors!!!!!!!THEY ARE ALL HUMAN
EATERS!! :D
Even some of us think that these cheaters are holy people..In fact non
of the holy persons sells anything!!!!!
Please be aware of these type of false yoga schools and false yoga
teachers...
If money is involved that means there is a false action there. Because
in YOGA there is APARIGRAHA that means no money shall be involved...And
if they state YOGA and meditation then be careful,as meditation is
within the yoga so that means your teacher doesn ot know what yoga
is!!! :rolleyes:
These are from PATANJALI SUTRAS...
So be aware of false yoga teachers and sharlatans!!!! ;)
Lets be mindful,

This is what happens when things become Westernised ...  Sad but true.
Everyone's in it for the money these days. If only people did stuff from the
heart instead of from the wallet, eh? It's like when people charge for healing;
isn't that going against the very reason you're helping in the first place?
( selflessness ) <Sarcasm> Gotta love the Western culture! </Sarcasm>

Its a complicated one. Sure yoga cannot be sold, however those
who teach do need to eat etc.
Its not a new thing, there have always been teachers with motives
less than perfect.
Having set up and run a yoga school
( http://mandala.ashtanga.org ) I was less than impressed
by the number of people who came for teaching certificates compared
with the numbers who came to learn yoga.
So it goes.

Indeed. In my haste to express myself I overlooked that possibility and
looked mainly how people overcharge for spiritual things. My apologies if I
offended you. I was also thinking from the perspective of people who offer
healing, particulary Reiki. There are three levels to this particular style of
Reiki that I practise and one place here in Australia charges $434.50, $495, and
$2200 respectively! And that's for a total of six days of teaching with course
texts. When I was taught my three levels it cost $80 for *all three levels*
over three days plus course texts. A few years ago, Barbara McGregor charged
$10000 for the third level *alone*!!! This is the differentiation that saddens
me ...

Nice and simplistic site! I love that it's W3C approved as I use Firefox
and the site displays perfectly.
I also am /very/ impressed by the other things offered, these being:
Cultural Programs
Ayurveda
Healing
Organic Farm
