By the time you read this I will have been an accredited senior yoga teacher for just over a year. But what does this mean? Does this make me a yoga expert? My feeling is that you can practice yoga for a lifetime and still have an infinite amount to learn (even though you might be called an expert by others).
Yoga is ultimately a way of being. So, while in certain ways I may know more now than when I began practicing nearly 20 years ago, an accreditation does not now mean that I know everything. And I am mindful of the great teachers in the world who don’t have a piece of paper to say they are qualified. However, reaching this stage, it does mark a notable milestone.
