One of the reasons I don't touch my students a lot is because I believe they need withdrawl of the senses to align with the 8 limbs of Yoga and find their way to Samadhi. Touching is a sense that can bring people out of their inward and insightful looking. It takes them outside of themselves. But I do see what you're saying. I just prefer hugs before or after class. :)

Dear Yoga Teachers
I can understand that approach. But most of us are so “in our heads” that we need the touch to bring us back in connection with our bodies. Something physical to focus upon...Kind of like dharana before dhyana.
