My YTT journey part 2

On the 17th November 2018, I kick-started the teaching exam. The night before, I was stressing out about my sequence. I was worried that my sequence is not good enough, I was afraid that I might be a bad teacher, I was anxious about not articulating my cues well enough for my students to understand […]

A refreshing journey #1

Before YTT started, I asked some of my friends who are not yoga teachers about their experiences with ytts. Most of them told me the same thing – it is life-changing. I was feeling excited yet nervous at the same time because I know I’ll have to sacrifice my weekends for this. I was also […]

Yoga is NOT a competition…or is it?

Competition has been a major part of my life since the very beginning. In school, in sports, even in my family – always trying to be the best, to win. I don’t say this with malice; I enjoy competition. It has become a part of my daily life, and I have a healthy attitude towards […]

Don’t forget the struggle

There was one time on our way to lunch, we were all sore, aching, frustrated, and completely spent. We were ranting and talking about how hard the sequence was and picking on our own difficulties and feeling rather down about it. Because well…nobody likes to be reminded of their own shortcomings right? Then I remember […]

时光飞速

时间过的真快，一转眼我们9月的周末班即将接近尾声了，第一个感觉就是不舍，2个月下来从不曾相识但因为瑜伽我们相聚在一起，一起练习，一起吃饭，一起讨论曾经过去的故事，有欢笑，有感动，由共鸣，还有泪水，点点滴滴汇成我们十几人相聚而成的共同回忆，一个难忘和意义深远的回忆。从当初我们带着懵懂的瑜伽认知走进教室到现在大家基本都会自己排课了，了解人体的轮穴，，最值得一提是瑜伽的冥想课，既高深又神秘，特别是当女神necole 老师说可以看到前世，我们都震惊了，小伙伴们在也安静不下来了，每个人都再想怎样能进入冥想状态哈哈，当然也令我心向往，虽然我现在还无法进入高级冥想状态，希望在未来的一天我能进入高级冥想状态。虽然老师们一直说我们是一群坑货，但我们每个人感受到的是老师对我们无限的爱和感动。感恩遇到有责任心又带仙气的老师们，还有可亲可爱的同学们，感恩我们一起走过的辛苦练习的日子，感恩每一个人. xianhui

体式考试结束了

一转眼距离上个周末都过去了三天，今天周三了。上周末进行了我们的第一场考试———体式考试。体式考试前一周很忙，但还好挤出了时间练习体式和背梵语，周六那天下着雨，去学校的地铁上也不停的复习着梵语，怕考试时突然短路。幸好，考试时自己的状态还不错，在做Chaturanga时，虽然可以借助瑜伽砖，但我想了想，还是决定挑战下自己（之前自己练习时根本撑不了一分钟），一咬牙就撑过了那一分钟，简直是我遭遇的最漫长的一分钟。还有其他体式都基本上尽力去做了，只是最终还是没能头倒立成功，这是我的一大遗憾。我觉得头倒立绝对是我的死穴来的，之前小C老师、茸儿老师，Nicole老师都轮番细心指导过我，可是就是跟中了邪一样，始终倒立不起来。噢，我昨天刚在家又练了，还是没成，不过能感觉进步了一点点。不管怎样，我不会放弃练习头倒立的，记得之前Nicole老师跟我们说过，她练了十年才会劈叉，所以凡事都有一个过程，只要不放弃，即使慢一点也没关系，总有一天时间会告诉你答案。还有两天就周末了，我们这周末会学习手倒立和鸽王，还要拍毕业照和圣诞照，还有理论考试，又将是一个充实闹腾的周末啊哈哈。现在我最开心的是不知不觉中我越来越享受学习瑜伽的过程，即使知道接下来还有很多新的挑战，但面对新事物的好奇与快乐远大于对困难的害怕和压力。所以，就这样快乐且努力地走下去吧！爱我们班！希望大家接下来的考试都顺顺利利的！只是，最最难过的是，Nicole老师下周过后就要回国一趟了，没办法看着我们毕业（哭），没有她的闹腾我们这个班就不是完整的，唉，会很想她的！ RYT200 Li Yin 2018.11.21
