In this brief, profanity‑laden monologue, the speaker challenges the common belief that yoga teachers must be able to perform every asana they teach. He argues that physical anatomy varies, and insisting a teacher only teach poses they can personally execute would limit students and cause unnecessary suffering. Instead, he emphasizes that teaching yoga is a technical skill that can be learned independently of personal flexibility or strength. The speaker concludes with a promotional call to action, inviting viewers to apply for his online 200‑hour or 300‑hour yoga teacher training program and to follow his channel for more yoga content.

Who in the actual fuck told you that? That's some of the worst advice I've ever heard given, ever. That information lacks a total understanding of physical anatomy. You see, not every single one of us is going to be able to do every single pose. If we say you can only teach the postures that you can do, that means that your students will suffer and they won't be able to do postures that their body could do because of your physical anatomy. The reality is, is that you can't possibly do all the postures. That's naive. But you can learn how to teach all the postures because that is technical skills.
