They all should be:-)

This is one of the larger issues facing yoga today. Much of what is being taught is not yoga but rather asana. And, of course, asana is a tiny sliver of yoga.

In Purna Yoga™, the yoga in which I train, teach, and practice, we teach four elements; asana/pranayama, meditation, lifestyle/nutrition, and applied philosophy. This might suit you though as teachers we are spread thin. (Where are you located??).

You might also enjoy Viniyoga or Anusara.
