The deeper we go the higher we fly.
Some people prefer the safe route of the 'middle ground' which is a bit like being on valium. It's peaceful and that's about it.
Not that there's anything wrong with peace but 'I' think some people mistake mediocrity as peace.
The practice can be fierce and fiery and at certain times we may hit the granite of our resistance. This is hard enough, in these times 'I' need to hear authenticity. I do not want to hear that it is all an illusion and see myself as having something wrong with me. To hear some of the so called Yoga teachers today you would think it was a mortal sin to dare ask for help, or indeed to admit that you had a feeling.
I call these people 'shanti bunnies'. They hide away some where and set themselves up as self ordained experts on 'almost everything'.
It is really not okay to think that you know what is best for somebody else when you barely know what is best for you - is it?
All I say is 'Do the practice' see what it brings you.
If it gets hairy stop for a while until you can see what the problem is.
It is okay to 'not practice for a while.
It is not a race either, you don't get a 'black belt' in yoga, you don't get a medal for long term service to the cause.
And if you think that becoming a 'Yoga teacher' instantly gives you the right to call yourself a spiritual teacher then at least have the decency to look at what you are offering. Try and speak from your personal experience and not what you read in 'Yoga Magazine' that morning.
Have a day.
