sun salutations? errr...what's that?

bumped into chris last nite during one of our 'dynamic' classes. anyway, asked him how his teacher's training course was coming along. apparently, he is having his exams next week. and that he is still having trouble remembering all the asana names in sanskrit. after a while into the conversation, more people started arriving for the 8 pm class. and most of them are also students of the teacher's training course...and of course the conversation suddenly deviated to their upcoming exams.

chris : "i dunno lar...i'm just trying to memorise all the asana names."
janice : "yalar...me too me too...when i drive, i just try to 'ngap' all the names out"
chris : "aiyah, like that how lar...teach also not very 'tim'...summore must memorise all the names...wahlao eh"
janice : "haiyah, never mind lar...the names only 100 marks mah...just tembak only lar..."
chris : "yalor yalor...dun intend to remember all the names...you know or not...sun salutations ah...i also mix up all the steps...remember yesterday when i was giving you all cues to do it...i think i was too nervous...totally messed it up...i was sweating so much and when i see all of you, you guys were all still very dry...hahahaha"
janice : "yalar...u so nervous for what?"

my goodness, isn't this a blessing in disguise? i will never want to attend a class conducted by such "instructors"...or do they even deserve to be called that?

memorising asana names, messed up basic sun salutations, little to no knowledge of the anatomy...this is a disaster class waiting to unfold...wait!!! it has already unfolded...these "young guns" will be teaching their very first class this thursday in another branch of the yoga studio which i attend. they have no passion for yoga...they are doing it all for the wrong reasons. chris told me yesterday that he's taking teacher's training course for change in career.

this has further reassured that my decision in not taking up the teacher's training course when first offered was correct. i don't want to end up being like one of them...memorising asana names for the same of passing the exam. i can't believe they were even proud in sharing ways in passing the exams...disgrace!

*feeling totally disgusted*
