Funny me teaching experience Cindy
It’s was my first time teaching yoga class yesterday. I always have the phobia of speaking in front of bunch of people. And I got panic again. Heart rate up and whole body shaking. Everything went well at the first 15 mins then suddenly the whole class burst into laughing when I was giving demo and instructions. I really didn’t know what happened but I was pretty sure that I must have said something funny accidentally again. After the class they told me I said that “ lift your left leg up and keep you leg paralysed (parallel) on the floor “ ??? oh man… what a teacher I am. Hahahh… and once in the practice of giving instructions for Savasana I also said “ now relax your whole body. Start to feel your legs healthy (heavy).” Well for sure they could totally get relaxed after I said that. I really don’t know what will came out of my mouth again during my class. Why I always pick that similar pronunciation but funny words?! ?? But I never felt shamed about it. Because everyone had fun and I also. It’s a good thing that I brought everyone joy and laughter. And it’s really good experience and chances that I could practice to couquer my fear. Really nice to be a part of the YTT team. Everyone’s really nice in the class. They’re all kind and sweet to me. It’s only one week left for it. I really don’t wanna say goodbye to all of it. 🙁
200HR YTT – Change – Shirleen (3/6)
28022019 (Week 3) Its exactly half of the course now. There’s a bittersweet feeling. I want it to end so I can get some sleep yet, I am uncertain of what I would be doing after I am done here. I am a car dealer. Have been working for my cousin for nearly 10 years now. Clearly very faithful to the company. (Brahmacharya. HAHA) I have been comfortable and afraid to get out of my comfort zone. Time was always something I wish for as I would spend most of my time sitting in the office. Joining the ytt is a big step for me and I’m glad that everyone around me is so supportive of. I have always have things in my control until I had dengue and my son had UTI at the end of last year and many things weren’t going my way. I could not accept how things can actually be out of my control and I desperately wanted things to get back to “normal”. Well now, I’m getting to understand that the “normal” I seek, should be accepting how unpredictable life can be and things do go out of my control. And through uncertainty, there will be growth. I should practise Ishvara Pranidhana. Surrender to situations. Just to help myself remember! I was feeling real tired yesterday and Jess was so sensitive and adjusted the entire plan for the day subtly. Thanks Jess. For not letting me embarrass myself. Hahah. You’re the best.
Inspiration from the YTT Cindy
“And suddenly you know. It’s time to start something new and trust the magic of beginnings “ A quote I saw a few weeks ago. I feel so relatable it’s exactly what I felt at the first week of the YTT. It’s never too late to start. To start a new relationship with yourself or a new perspective on life. It’s never too late to begin to love yourself and never let anyone disrespect you. It’s never too late for you to decide. This is my life and I’m going to love the heck out of it. Oh man! It’s time to occupy the space, god has been asking me to leap into.
Funny me during the YTT Cindy
I always make funny mistakes during the YTT to make everyone burst out loud even I never meant to be. Once our awesome teacher Jess ask me a question at the class “ why some people always get sick, sore throats and don’t feel well?” I was so serious and confident to answer “ Because they’re weak!” Whole class a burst of joke ?? Jess one more question “ So what yoga should they do?” My answer “ Make them to do power yoga to be stronger ??!!” Classmates burst out again ?? The correct answer should be “Because they have issues of the lymphatic system. By doing yoga it massage our lymph notes“
Sharing my thoughts Cindy
For so Long I would always worry about where I was versus where everyone around me was. That train of thought literally drains you of the motivation, willpower and love. You have to get to your own destination. You can admire people but don’t get caught up in them. Get caught up in your own goals and your own heart. Be gentle with yourself. You’re trying. If it’s taking you longer than you thought to achieve something or get somewhere. That’s okay! Try not to compare yourself to others and what they’re doing. Things will happen for you at the right time. Be patient. You’ll get there soon.
RYT200“打怪记”（一）
回首半年前的自己，那时候工作的忙碌、压力让我根本没时间跟自己身体对话，休息不够，锻炼没有，整个人精神，身体状态都通过蜡黄的气色显现出来，身体开始给予反馈，需要休息，几经思虑，毅然辞职，休息期间一开始选择去健身房跑步，膝盖出现不适，决定练习瑜伽。 瑜伽于我是什么？让我找到一个可以放松身心，跟自己对话，接纳自己的一切，并且更加的从容、耐心、有爱。回想刚开始练习时感觉很累好难，慢慢坚持练习，一点一点感受身体变化给自己身心的反馈，它就像有魔力般让我越发着迷，一天不练就觉得缺点什么，自己也更加想深入的了解瑜伽。 选择瑜伽，选择RYT，可能就像老虎说的瑜伽奉行的相信轮回，我们在此生相遇的人一定在某个轮回有牵连 所以才会相遇。RYT已经第5天，感恩老虎，感恩每个一起打怪的同学，是瑜伽让我们相遇，让我们有机会萃取更多的能量，这五天特别充实，感受到了新的教学方式，磨炼了自己，学到了知识，做到了体式，最重要的是更深层的感受到了瑜伽的魅力，好高兴自己的选择，虽然很累，但是每天一睁眼，就感觉身体打了鸡血一般，给自己比心心，给老师比心心，给同学们比心心。 成都 詹红西 2019年3月中文RYT200
DAY5 Judymer 2019年3月中午RYT200 成都
嘻嘻嘻我是王姣娣，为什么我的英文名是judymer不是judy呢？那是因为我在成都，这里的人叫小姑娘都叫妹儿～所以在这里上大学的时候大家都叫我浇地（原名太难打了就打这个）妹儿。音译成英文就是judymer了～ 今天已经上到第五天了。每天的课不管是体式课还是理论课我都非常喜欢。其实体式课的强度我还是蛮适应的，不会觉得特别累。能感觉到自己体式的提升才是我最想追求的。说到理论课，真的超级喜欢。因为自己是做语文老师的，一直不太喜欢传统的应试课堂但又奈何科目限制，再怎么渴望自由也翻不出什么花样。但是这里的理论课，我可以随心所欲的坐着，怎么舒服怎么来。大家就像是聊天一样，每次理论课都好像更能了解身边的同学更多一点。好开心！最重要的是，通过理论课的学习，我发觉瑜伽里的很多思想都和我的思想如出一辙。它强调的知足、幸福、平静、自律，都是我一直追求的。我为这份不谋而合感到深深的喜悦。今天老师讲到根轮，我说出了自己的一些故事。我惊觉，存在我内心深处的不安全感是来自于何处。也正是因为了解了，说出来了，我好像有点点释怀了。也就更愿意与那些不安全感做个和解吧。其实说到这一段的时候，我真的有点想哭诶……（原谅我双子座泪点很奇怪）但我憋住了我真棒～?anyway 人生路上，一切都是最好的安排呀。你看我还不是成长成了一个如花似玉又根正苗红的大姑娘～（大概因为我“宝石域”超宝的吧！） 瑜伽是平静，也是波涛汹涌。我是敏感，也是无所畏惧。 我真的很满足我的生活，就像我在体式里保持我的享受其中。
Facing the real world soon…
Our YTT is approaching the finishing line in less than 2 weeks. All of a sudden I feel like I am having a “panic attack” – am I ready to be called a “Yoga Teacher” yet? I have learnt a lot and grown a lot over the last three weeks, but I still feel like there is a lot out there for me to explore. I love to learn, I love to explore and I enjoy my learning journey so much, but am I ready to start my teaching journey? We have focused so much on developing a smooth and practical class sequencing since last week. I have noticed the importance of “flow” in a practical class sequencing, so I always try to run through my sequences on my yoga mat before I hand in my class sequencing homework. However, I still feel like there is still lot of room for designing a better one to benefit my future yoga students. I wish I have more time to create as many sequences as possible now, so that I can have as much feedback as possible from our trainer Jassica, before we face the real world. I am now working on the sequencing for tomorrow’s class, which is my first one whole hour yoga class, to teach my fellow yogis as my students. I am very excited to see how the class comes out tomorrow. Yet at the same time, I am panicking if everything is going to fall into the right places as planned. Let me be confident with myself now and hope for the best for tomorrow! Jade Hales
Yokiyan 2019年2月周末班 2
清晨的瑜伽?♀️ 松软的被窝伴着熟悉的味道，慵懒的在大床上翻身，让阳光透过窗帘照射进来，放纵的伸伸懒腰，再悠哉悠哉的起床洗漱，这已经是上个月的过去式。??♀️ 现在我选择做一个严肃的瑜伽练习者，每日蹑手蹑脚的从清晨六点醒来，再轻手轻脚的去厕所洗漱，生怕会打扰到身边熟睡的家人，抹黑的来到客厅铺好垫子，带上耳机开始瑜伽拜日式练习??♀️。最初的三日确实是各种艰难，总想给自己找各种借口放弃睡个好觉?，可是闹钟还是会准时把我叫醒。清晨起床身体是各种僵硬，体式也是做的也是差强人意，但是我知道自己体能太弱，不想给自己找借口，只有更多的付出才会得到回报！我必须更加努力才能实现瑜伽的梦想。这期的小伙伴们每个都好强，一起加油同学们，为我们汗水的清晨☀️
RYT200 Day3
今天是RYT200的Day3，体式练习主要是着重于手臂力量锻炼。昨天的拜B四柱支撑已经让我双手臂、后颈部有点酸痛，今天练完海豚、小乌鸦后真的感觉整个手臂都废掉了，晚上手臂已经抬不起来了。隐隐的对明天充满好奇，也有点恐惧，哈哈哈哈。我想我会慢慢喜欢上这种感觉，自己的身体每天都在不断变化，用新的酸痛冲淡旧的酸痛。相信也正是这样才会让我一天比一天更好，更加接近我理想中的自己，明天也要加油。 曹煜 2019年3月中文RYT200
