Dear members
Can we have some feedback on TY's RP yoga masters. You can post anything from suggestions for improvement to compliments to complaints (hopefully not). Thank you. Have a nice day.

What else can TY do with our comments??
Getting all the ex-good masters back to teach again??
We had been giving them so much feedback ever since we joined
But no one seems to care. When we further comment, they will reply saying we are to mean. I think most of the members had give up!!

I think the RP masters are pretty good. Just that feel that TY not treating them well and taking care of their welfare, so masters leaving one by one. TY already lost excellent masters like Vikram, Saumik and Dev. The few good ones left, mainly Raj, Ankur and Vicky will also leave very soon, if they find better opportunities elsewhere. These masters are very young and are on the stepping stones of their career. I find their classes vibrant and full of energy.
Serena : If you are a TY management, please do take into consideration your masters' welfare.

during the dialogue sharing sessions, everyone should foster on good cross-cultural interaction
- prevent conflicts (in the minds of individual between the needs of the organisation and their own needs)
- no argument involved but discussion in a mellow tone with good altitude
- sharing with understanding; set a period for observation
- emphasis on good working relation with management, etc
To implement your good management
e.g - everyone must abide, learn and fully understand about those rules and regulations set by the company;
e.g - attaining integration while avoiding organisational complexity;
e.g - problem solving- under the right conditions, collaborative social interaction among each other to promote support cognitive growth for the company
e.g - give fully support on problem solving- your main objectives;
e.g - good understanding of their emergent interpretations. Define & identify their several encounters; discuss about them; give encouragement instead of challenge them,
e.g - manager - your effectiveness and ability to communicate adequately;
e.g - improve your time scheduling and fairness to each and everyone. (WHY only Adi always have the prime time slot?)

how i wish true yoga can close shop. we need a center which provides yoga in a more authentic manner, not some kind of flashy place where girls where the clothes till the boobs are dropping out or where masters got so lonely they start cheating on young innocent girls. God, pls create a more conducive learning environment for us!!

Hmmm

F1 young innocent girls? ha ha . you must be joking! I agree with your first sentence where the girls come to TY to show off their latest NIKE gear or their latest sportsbra and see whose boobs can show more clevage. The masters are just normal men, when the women offer, they take. simple logic. And I think the girls are just enjoying the masters as vice-versa. It is a two way win-win situation. Doubt either party wants to marry the other.

I also agree that all the good masters at RP are leaving oen by one...
But doesnt mean all the remaining masters are bad, what I do find disturbingly absent from their classes is the passion to teach. More often than not they go through the class as if just spending that one hour and will repeat poses or words exactly in every class they conduct. Sad. No effort put in to design new sequence? Perhaps like what earlier posts mentioned, mgmt is not treating them well that's why they have no motivation to teach?
Bt what is even more sad is the state of the dance classes. Very boring now.

i was also quite puzzled why they never change their sequence. so i when i asked a master , he told me , everyday in every class, there is bound to be somebody new in yoga, so if u only cater for the experience members,then what's left for the newbies? if u want something different, then u go to other master or go to multilevel classes.

"there is bound to be somebody new" -- but there are definitely current members and old birds, and i think easly out-number newbies by 10 to 1 or even more? New sequence does not mean it will be unsuitable for newbies or difficult. There are so many beginner poses to choose from! Think the master who answered you does not understand the question (ie language issue).
If that master truely mean what he / she said, it shows that TY / Mgmt / Master only care about attracting newbes and heck care about current members.
Members go to one or few specific masters because they feel comfortable with them / their teaching style. Personally I do not like to teacher-hop. If every teacher thinks the same way (dun change sequence), sooner or later members will feel bored with every teacher.
Just my personal thoughts. Namaste.

Also, every pose there are always options for beginners and more advanced students or for people with injuries. The more I think about it, the more I am convinced that master whom you spoke with just cannot be bothered, used an excuse to brush your question aside. Period.
(who is it, can reveal? hahaha)

ya...i agree...there is so many basic postures that the master can opt to rotate in the classes.
It all depends on their creativity & initiative whether or not they want their students to learn more. Me too does not like to teacher hop. Cos at the end of the day, different master may give different instructions for the same pose. Then who can you listen to?? I rather stick to 1 master....learn from him/her, until i am confident i can do it on my own, then I will only try other master.
If the above master can answer such a question...hmmm...i suspect he is either really lack of passion in teaching or he is not so well to do with yoga

Agree

i can only say, it is a matter of personal choice for that master who spoke to me. i sorta argued to him like what u all say,but he also felt that some of us are not 100% pro in the current poses that he is teaching, so unless we've fully mastered everything,otherwise its also meaningless to change. To him, these are the basic beginners poses, so change a bit also become not beginner liao. Ah yah, don't want to argue lah. He did try to change lah, but once in a while then he'll do it. Sometimes he sees the class very few people, then he intro something new...but i almost died doing those poses hahahahah

I have tried several masters' classes, and in my opinion, Anil's class is the BEST. He really balance everything. If he go RP, he sure outdo all the other masters. His classes are fun, challenging and philosophical!

yes, last time i used to follow 1 or 2 masters only, they often change sequence / focus of the class. Eg today focus on opening shoulders / upper back, another day concentrate on doing good downward dog and cobra / sun salutation etc. Newbies are getting as good instructions as any other members in the class!
sigh.... old masters are no more, no need to dwell into them.
Just hope whoever asked for feedback / started this thread in the first place will put these sharings from us into good use.

sorry to add again (I'm very free now) -- if there are specific poses that members are not doing well, the master might want to place more emphasis on teaching on the correct method of achieving the right feel / pose, rather than just guiding us on the flow (which most of the masters are doing now). Just by doing the poses repeatedly, members will just keep on doing the wrong thing and will not improve.
As we do yoga almost everyday or every other day, introducing diff sequence and poses in the class will also allow members' diff group of muscles to be active and let the muscles which are worked on a chance to recuperate. okok... enough said. anyway i'm not professional, the master are.
Peace....

I hear a few different members claiming that they are Good Friends with who or who master, wonder if how true is that? Self-proclaimed maybe because good friends do more than just make joke n give silly posture. Face it ppl, u r just member on good terms with master. Def not good friends.

the term 'friends' is used too loosely nowadays. but there's no need for us to know whether these people are really 'friends' or just on 'good terms with the master' isnt it?
I think even if they werent good friends, maintaining good relationships with the master(s) is not necessarily a bad thing. so that they know and can correct your alighment and postures in order for you to improve your practice

is there a problem with me using the term 'friend' ? we chat on the phone, so does that not equate to being a friend?
pls don't sound so petty. its a normal healthy friendship.

i personally find HOT yoga is als e same wif those indian t'chers..i do hope dere 'll b sm variations to their sequences coz it's really getting boring aft a yr so i'll oly attend it if i'm feeling stiff or blotted..wish local instructors cld teach hot yoga too..
i love guat's class s she changes postures frequently n each time she attends courses n workshops she 'll b bck with new knowledge to share, her class is comparable to cardio workout..stanley is oso my fav coz he focus alot on correct alignment,but he 'll oly b bck coming may..jade's sun salutation series is cool wif losta variations n very challenging..adeline's hatha vinyasa is tough at times esp when she does 1 legged sun salution..jo's solar flow is too difficult for me n her regulars r so pro that she hardly demos n i miss yin&yang, wonder y she doesnt conduct e class anymore..

Diamond,
We know that you are very proud of your good friendship with this master, but it does not mean that everybody feels the same way as you and is so hard up to be in your shoes. Don't be pathetic and claim others are jealous, petty, envious or having a case of sour grapes. Think about it.

all i have to say is i wasn't too satisified with what 'anonymous' said. i truly regard the yoga instructor as a friend. this is not a term that i'm using loosely, yet people kept saying i'm trying to show off. i don't even know what's there to show off ! its just a friend?!

diamond: I think it might be a good idea to not bother about those comments. no matter what you say, there will still be haters who are there to put down your friendship with the master
