I wrote a post called "The Alignment Problem" a few days (weeks?) ago.
(Excuse me I'm in a newborn baby time-tunnel here.)
I should have been more explicit that I don't consider all, or even that many, Ashtanga teachers "charlatans," Authorized, Certified, "jungle," or otherwise.
(The "jungle" Ashtanga teacher is the one out in the wilderness, doing her thing, without "official" connection to the tradition from Mysore.)
Taleb used the word however and it certainly is a provocative way to regard experts.
It is always interesting to consider the two ends of the Ashtanga spectrum, the emphasis on technique and alignment, and the emphasis on dynamism and movement.
Thankfully dig deeply in one and you find the other (hopefully), and vice versa.
