Yoga instruction isn't limited to the classroom anymore, thanks to the internet. The World Wide Web has opened up a whole new realm of yoga possibilities. Unfortunately, it has opened up a whole new can of worms too!
Along with informative sites by knowledgeable teachers, there's also a whole lot of incomplete and misleading information being spread by inexperienced yoga enthusiasts. This cut-and-paste cyber world makes it simple for anybody to create a website on any topic, yoga included, and load it up with content that makes the creator seem like they are an authority... when in most cases, they are far from it.
The bottom line about yoga instruction online is, Buyer Beware!
Yoga Instruction online is getting more popular by the day. The internet has provided a whole new world of opportunities for yoga enthusiasts... but it has also set the stage for a lot of potential problems as well.
We all know that the internet is a fascinating universe of information, while at the same time and a nerve-racking sphere of misinformation too... and for yoga, it's no exception. Any web-savvy person can quite easily paint a picture of themselves as a yoga expert online, even with very little understanding of yoga at all. There's so much yoga-related material online now, and so much "yoga junk" within it, that you really need to be on the ball to separate the quality from the dubious.
Yoga Instruction online is slowly catching on. It's a strange concept for some whose sole experience of yoga has been in a group class at the neighbourhood yoga studio, but for those who understand that yoga is much more than just a group of exercises and techniques, the internet has opened up a whole new realm of yoga learning.
But it has also created a lot of potential problems. Anyone with web experience knows that creating a professional looking website or posting well-polished videos is pretty easy stuff, and you don't need to be proficient in your subject material to do it.
Yoga is no exception, which means separating the yoga experts from the non-experts isn't easy. In fact, quite often the real yoga authorities have pretty amateurish looking websites, while some marginally educated yoga enthusiast have some pretty cool sites. The bottom line is, don't be fooled by design.
