Yoga Philosophy to set the foundation, month one and then now, this month two is all about the body, the physical body with a review of\u00a0Skeletal System\u00a0with Tianna Meriage-Reiter DPT, PT, PYT… She is wonderful. \u00a0If you are in East Bay area, she would be your go-to Yoga Therapist. \u00a0In fact, I would even commute if it were not for the fact that I should be able to treat myself – smile. \u00a0All this should be a review of my previous training but sadly… reminded how much I had forgotten. \u00a0Review, review, review …<\/span><\/p>\n

\"IMG_2431_02\"<\/a>\"IMG_2429_01\"<\/a>\"IMG_2443_02\"<\/a>\"IMG_2457_02\"<\/a>\"IMG_2477\"<\/a>My classmates are soooo cute – and refreshing they are not wearing hip hugging, show all your curves yoga wear but rather …in protest … a onesie! \u00a0for comfort and easy mobility and keeping toasty warm this cooooold rainy weekend. A wise choice of yoga wear fashion at times. Isn’t yoga about minimizing external distractions and turning inward to cultivate awareness , quiet the fluctuations of the mind to meet the inner- know-er. \u00a0Isn’t it about body-mind awareness in rediscovering that distilled lucidity? \u00a0A mirror and body conscious apparel steers you right off our intention to be mind-conscious, if you are the self-conscious, judgmental, highly critical observant type. \u00a0But rather if the mirror is all about helping you gain appreciation (not vanity) and acceptance (not self-criticism); or used to awaken (not ignore and delude) and motivate (not self-bash) for betterment – then – no harm.<\/p>\n

It’s \u00a0“therapeutic” to be with them as we learn all the things that can go wrong with our body, our vessel … unless we approach our practice with sense of humility and respect. We must take good care – Our intentions are pure – we want to bring about relief and healing, approaching our clients with a sense of “ahimsa” – compassion and … again, humility. That is, upon learning all there is to learn and there is so much to learn about our mind and body – we are rather complex. \u00a0I would love to forge alliance with the other healthcare professionals, work with them in tandem, \u00a0to bring about if not end of suffering, at the very least, alleviation of their suffering. \u00a0With tweaked body AND mind, wouldn’t it be nice to just forget about it all and be freed from struggles ? \u00a0Yoga Therapy skillfully applied may help.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_2458\"<\/a>It’s quite a labyrinth, us humans. \u00a0Our body is a cosmic miracle in itself and then there’s the … mind. \u00a0It’s a pretty compact container packed full of so many elements that can either promote or hinder health depending on how we use it and then care for it. \u00a0So … let’s practice till we get it.<\/p>\n

My path towards 800 hrs. Yoga Therapist goes on and on … it’s quite a journey, stopping along the way to \u00a0hydrate and nourish our souls …<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
