I'm training for the apolcaypse, not by doing dozens of pushups, but by breathing through extreme discomfort in fire log pose for 10 very long, boring minutes.

And we do have to do some of the learning on our own. Having been in training group settings that have something very close to that learning goal made me change my mind a bit. Specifically how helpful it can be, when you're overwhelmed with discomfort, to have a leader to guide you through some it and then find a subgroup - someone else who relates and can help contain it, so you're not working alone.
