How to Be a Good Yoga Student

The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali IFor awhile I've been mulling over what I think the characteristics are that define a good yoga student.   Being a good yoga student doesn't necessarily mean being able to do all of the yoga poses well, but it's more of an attitude of respect and a willingness to keep an open mind and to try your best in class that's important to me.

Here's a page I recently wrote on this:


Most of it is very practical advice.  Read through it and see which guidelines you follow and which you could do better with.

Some of these guidelines and ideas may not be as important in some yoga classes as in others, but they'll give you a good starting point for how to be a good yoga student in the classes you take.

Are there other guidelines for being a good yoga student that make sense to you?
