P: Chechi ..lot of people are asking of Alliance registration?
Smiling!!!
S: Is that very important? See this..
"Swami Vishnudevananda speaks about Yoga Unions 1985
Many states in the U.S. are regulating Yoga teachers which have sparked a new movement of Yoga Associations, Alliances or Unions which are vying to define Yoga in America. Swami Vishnudevananda, the founder of Yoga Teacher Training Courses in America spoke in 1985 about the danger of any group to authorize who can teach Yoga. "
P: It seems so atleast to some.
S: This ashram was established in 1940's as a place of yoga for the spiritual practices. And all the levels of spiritual evolution varies with each and every person and to this day we are seeing this is true. So can the spirituality of a seeker be registered to be evaluated?
I wonder!
P: So then why do you give Alliance certified teacher training courses?
S: This is a small thing to do in this big world... to reach some of the spiritually evolving seekers... helping them to keep the pure spiritual essence of yoga intact in a lineage of the great masters... through alliance certified courses they find it more comfortable and trusting to approach.
