Self-compassion – Pei Xuan (1/6)

Off the mat, perhaps for many of us, it’s easy to practice non-violence and compassion to others— be it in thoughts or physical acts— but when it comes to ourselves…that’s where the real test lies. Most often, the lack of compassion for ourselves comes through our thoughts— in a little voice that shouts “you’re not […]

Class energy – a teacher’s biggest obstacle

I find that one of the most challenging parts of teaching is to maintain the class energy. Perhaps it’s difficult because it’s not something that can really be taught, only self discovered. I think that good teaching has to come from a place of passion and compassion. You have to really understand the different asanas, […]

Week 5 – ISHVARA PRANIDHANA

I can’t believe it is already the end of week 5! Time has flown by, and next week we will take our assessment. In looking over the 8 limbs of yoga, Ishvara Pranidhana draws my attention. It is easy to feel stressed about instructing a yoga class, even in-front of fellow students who are very […]

ryt200课程第二天昨天才只是练习了拜日式感觉就很累了😭 ，手肘外翻对我来说在下犬的体式中真的舒服不起来。理论课上老师问我们瑜伽是什么…第一次接触瑜伽大概是10多年前吧那会儿还在上大学，是一个姐姐带我去的在我们那个小地方。第一次看见瑜伽老师觉得好仙、身材很棒、气质超好！然后带我去的姐姐说瑜伽是现在最流行的减肥运动了，可以在体重不减的同时很好的塑形，把身上不聪明的肉都变成聪明的肉（长在胸上和屁屁上的都是聪明的肉😄）那会儿觉得瑜伽是个很高大上的事情，瞬间觉得自己升了一个level。那会儿如果有朋友圈，应该也挺装逼的😂 教室里窗帘紧闭微弱的灯光配上催眠的音乐，耳边时不时传来老师的体式指令，即使有的体式让我觉得很难受也都努力坚持下来了，上了一节课后觉得浑身疼，感觉关节和筋络都扭着了。十几年过去了现在印象不太深，只记得老师很气质、体式很累很酸、挺尸很爽😊 这是我对瑜伽的第一次认知后来的后来我就走上了运动的道路高强度的训练让日渐年长的身体伤痕累累，我成了按摩医院的常客 …所以我选择了瑜伽，主要很看重瑜伽的疗愈这方面。我希望从对瑜伽的学习和练习中慢慢了解自己的身体，从中找到身体力量和柔韧性的平衡从而更好保护自己😊……
