\"IMG_1191\"<\/a>It’s a bit like trekking up these steps … it gets steeper and steeper – my training program. <\/p>\n

***
\nThe 500\/800 hrs. program and the coursework is getting more and more demanding as expected. SO what am I doing blogging? Get to work – finish your homework; work on the project; go assist; go out and spread this goodness ! Hearing my inner voice but I come here to gain perspective and pin down my wondering mind. The program started out with …<\/p>\n

Yoga History & Philosophy <\/strong>– some review – yes, sure we covered this in 200 hrs. but that was a very broad brush strokes of an outline. This subject can go on and on – but the core “essence”, we can come to know better. Of course I am nowhere near full understanding even after reading books after books + … you can probably read and study for a lifetime but again, this is ENOUGH. More than enough at this point in my life. Let’s experience it by doing …practicing. <\/p>\n

The program is very methodical, reflected in the gradual progression in our course materials.
\nAyurveda and Yoga <\/p>\n

Foundation laid, we proceed to:<\/p>\n

Skeletal System
\n<\/strong>
\nMuscular System
\n<\/strong>
\nand … this weekend is the Respiratory System <\/strong>
\nthen next month is Cardiovascular system<\/strong> … then Endocrine System<\/strong> … Nervous System<\/strong> … Immune System<\/strong> … Digestive system<\/strong> … it’s a vast universe within the Cosmos, us humans … and so the journey inward continues.<\/p>\n

The program is so so so about service while we engage in learning. Ultimately, it seems to be about healing through promoting
\ninter-connectedness … what we do when we are off the mat. <\/p>\n

It can simply mean, being kind and loving. To recognize our capacity to give love and receive love. We can’t ask this from others if we haven’t ourselves.
\nIt’s always a work in progress, isn’t it? There are small sense of milestones and completions as we take baby steps and sometimes a leap – each time pausing and celebrating small nano-transformation with gratitude. Sometimes, it flows though … swells into a big wave, gathering and collecting strength … then crashing onto this beach with a cryptic message drawn on the sand. The big wave wipes away the past and its residues – samskara – that no longer serves us. We then see our true reflection unencumbered and fresh, glistening in the light, from our shadow. It’s liberating.
