It's really irrelevant and unimportant about how long one has been doing/practicing/teaching yoga, as to whether one's mind is free from ignorance, egoism, impurities, disturbs, unhappiness and suffering, or not.
When attending a yoga class, or a yoga course, or a yoga retreat, most people would like to address about the past experiences on how long they have been doing/practicing yoga, and they want to know about the past accumulated experiences of how long the yoga teachers have been doing/practicing/teaching yoga, on top of what are the teachers' accumulated qualification and certification. And some people would feel strange and even offended when the yoga teachers who know what is the teachings and practice of yoga don't bring up the question asking about how long the students have been doing/practicing yoga.
People who have not been doing/practicing yoga, it doesn't necessarily mean that they are not free from ignorance and egoism, or are not peaceful, wise and compassionate. While those who have been doing/practicing yoga for some time or a long time, it doesn't necessarily mean that they are free from ignorance and egoism, and are peaceful, wise and compassionate.
Those who are free, peaceful, wise and compassionate, then how long they have been doing/practicing yoga doesn't mean anything, and they don't mind about what the teacher teaches in the class, and it doesn't matter whether their body is strong and flexible enough to do all the yoga poses, or not, as well as how long the teacher has been doing/practicing/teaching yoga under what type of qualification and certification.
Those who are not free, they will learn and practice yoga humbly, under the guidance of a teacher regardless of how long they have been doing/practicing yoga. Yoga practice is in the present moment, doing one's best to take care of the well-being of the body and mind, without straining the body and mind, being compassionate towards this selfless mind perception of impermanent life existence, while accepting the body and mind and all kinds of desirable and undesirable life experiences as they are, from moment to moment. It's nothing to do with how long one has been doing/practicing yoga. If one is already free, one doesn't even need to do/practice yoga. If one is not free, then keep practicing without attachment, identification, judgment or expectation. It's okay if the mind is not free in the present moment, and this is impermanent.
It's the same as how long the yoga teachers have been doing/practicing/teaching yoga is also irrelevant and unimportant as to whether the yoga teachers are free, peaceful, wise and compassionate, or not, and whether the yoga teachers are teaching yoga and guiding the yoga students towards liberation from ignorance and egoism, to realize unconditional peace, wisdom and compassion, or not.
If people couldn't figure this out, or couldn't understand about this, then even though they think they have been doing/practicing/teaching yoga for a long time, and they have been reading and hearing about the teachings/philosophy of yoga, but they are not free. And it's okay if the mind is not free yet after one has been doing/practicing yoga for a long time, and one has been reading and hearing about the teachings/philosophy of yoga. Just keep practicing, without attachment, identification, judgment, comparison or expectation.

There's no past, but only the presence or absence of attachment and identification towards the selfless function of some scattered memory arising and passing away in the present.
In this present moment, it's merely the selfless modification of the mind, arising and passing away, without attachment, identification, desire of craving and aversion, judgment, comparison, or expectation towards all the impermanent agreeable and disagreeable or desirable and undesirable names and forms that the mind perceives through the senses.
