Hi,

I have been practicing yoga for over 10 years, but I cannot say I am very knowledgeable about the mechanics of the positions and "correct" ways of doing them. I have always sort of done what the teacher shows to do and as I have done it quite well, I also have not been corrected much.

So for about 10 years I mostly peacticed under 2-3 teachers who taught the poses quite similarly. Now I have tried new yoga classes and some of the elements are taught differently.

Examples:

1. In sun salutations I have always gone down into Uttasana by bringing my hands togeter in front of me. One teacher insists we bring them down the way they went up - from our sides. I am always confusesd because by now muscle memory always tells me to go hands in front, but the teacher says otherwise.

Is there a "right" way to do it? Why might different teachers teach that differently? Is there a philosophy behind it - like a good reason to do it one way? Do different yoga traditions do it in different ways and if yes, do they have reasoning behind it?

1. Again with the sun salutations. One teacher always instructs us to stand with our feet about hip width apart during the whole thing. Now I attended someone else's class and they corrected me and told me to stand toes and heels firmly together. Again - confused and always needing to correct myself, because muscle memory tells me one thing and the teacher the other.

What might be the reason for these differences in the nuances of positions and is there any reasoning behind it other than maybe "different traditions do it differently"?

Thank you!
