Former ad hoc committee member on teacher training standards posts "feedback" on the Yoga Alliance changes.
"The Alliance is walking a razor’s edge, on one side is the invaluable advocacy work being done to keep the government regulators out of our field, on the other is the need to avoid becoming the 'yoga police'," says Leslie Kaminoff.
"An organization issuing a credential to someone with whom they have had no personal relationship is a problem. I believe the only valid credential a yoga teacher could hold would be issued by the school or teacher that trained them."
Prior to the formation of The Yoga Alliance, Leslie was a strong voice in
the ensuing national debate regarding the application of certification standards.
His feedback post is available online here.
Also, his thoughts on Social Credentialing is found online here.
