Yes, it is healthy to be able to laugh about ourselves. To take oneself and one’s opinions too seriously encourages our egos to take over.

I quite agree with you, if one takes something too serious, he might take himself, who practices it, too serious and start looking down at people. That happens to many yoga teachers. There is a good recommendation from wise guru that from time to time a yoga lesson should be attended by some other respected yoga teacher who would afterwards share a meal with his colleague and laugh at his mistakes made during the lesson.

i totally agree, you know I am also teaching martial arts shaolin by the way and you can’t imagine what I have seen….one info you may be aware that some of the main indian associations and comissions to preserve cultural arts will post some mention in the us gvt for stopping the use of name yoga for all these new styles and so…
I was still disturbed when I found in this thai arts us association (no name ) i wanted to be member for …infos ..promotion whatever, to find that massage was thai yoga and was told that thai yoga (ruesi dat ton ) was hatha yoga SIC!!!!!
but you right take some distance from that and focus onthe practice and helping other no judgement ,(well hard sometimes no?)
sato
