Yamas and Niyamas

The practice of apariagraha is of non-hoarding, of non-attachment. Its not only material things that we let go of though, but it also about ideas, people and places that we hold on to, act possessively towards or hoard. This clinging onto something or someone is a barrier to freedom. This would probably be very applicable […]

Yoga and Geometry: Re-learning Maths with your body alignment

Maths was my favorite subject in school and in Maths it was Geometry. How cool it was to use a pair of rulers and compass to construct shapes on paper to a high degree of accuracy. I was pleasantly surprised to rediscover Geometry through Yoga! And Geometry truly comes to life when we come into […]

It’s been a while…

… Since I last blogged. Typing in this space brings back a sense of familiarity and nostalgia. I keep (kept, to be specific) a WordPress blog too, and the last entry posted was probably 5 years ago. It’s also been a while since I got out of bed before 7am EVERY weekday. It’s no easy feat; I give myself a huge […]

2nd Week of RYT Yoga Journey

以前练习瑜伽追求体式的进步，现在系统学习RYT以后更追求的是理论知识的深入。从骨骼，器官，肌肉等各方面去了解和研习人体的身体机能，用瑜伽的理念去调整自己的状态。细想练习瑜伽的这几年，确实很少生病，以前不懂其中的原理，现在学习了理论，可以慢慢自己分析总结其中的关键点，甚至去帮助身边的朋友简单调理，瞬间就有了专业的成就感。可惜自己还在知识对积累和摸索中，对各个知识点的串联还不够，以至于对课程的编排连贯性还不足，以前接触的课堂英文指令比较多，自己中文课堂的表达性也还在生疏的练习中，因此200小时的课程以外还需要花更多的时间去梳理，坚持在yogi路上不断进步～总的来说，瑜伽是一个日积月累的过程，是一种积极向上的生活态度，生活也处处可瑜伽。 Mia，武汉RYT200

My first teaching assignment

Today marks my very first “real-life” yoga teaching session! Apart from our pretty batch ladies and my supportive Aunt, I managed to conquer my fear and invited my neighbours (whom i have never met!). When they responded to come, I was really excited but at the same time, thoughts came running…. “omg it’s going to […]

Dvidasana at 43 😀

When I told my friends that I was going to take 200 hours YTT, some were shocked and some thankfully supported me and applauded me to even dare to do it at 43. When I told my mum, she thought that I was nuts to even think about it. Nevertheless, I registered and now I […]
