Some of the paradigms of yoga practice do not resonate with my iconoclastic, Quaker, feminist, progressive self, one of which is the idea of prostrating oneself at the feet of the teacher. I do, nonetheless, choose to study with teachers whom I respect and love.
In case you were looking for another reason to share the yoga with friends who might otherwise think that yoga would be too hard for them and to make your practice more regular. Go Kansas City!
