Heartful graduation ceremony at Niroga<\/a> for Yoga Therapy Teacher Training – 800 hours… Due to my trips and missing some modules, needing more hours so still on this journey but participated on this special day as …had to do my year-end presentation. Hope to share all this knowledge, techniques, methods and information with all those who seek something more to a regular general class. <\/p>\n

\n“I won’t back down” was the song of choice sang by this power-duo:) One of Yoga Therapist faculty members, the super knowledgeable yogi, Baxter Bell, MD, the violinist and a very cool Perry, the Yoga Therapy graduate … on the guitar. They nailed it. We broke out into chorus with their lead …
\nOur hearts were pinned to that hope that there’s to be more healing, more unity and harmony in this world which currently feels quite divided along racial, economic and geographical divide …<\/p>\n

Perhaps sometimes, self-inflicted,<\/p>\n

Healing from insults to our body and mind
\nHealing from psychic and emotional pains
\nHealing from injustice, inequality and
\nHealing for all
\nto just …
\nget over our own selves
\nWhy the heartbreaks?<\/p>\n

Getting over ourselves,
\nGetting out of our own way,<\/p>\n

To be open and accepting of all that is good
\ntaken for granted all around us … the beauty and the miracles, the kindness
\nwe fail to recognize.<\/p>\n

No, I Won’t Back Down<\/strong><\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nWell, I won’t back down
\nNo, I won’t back down
\nYou can stand me up at the gates of hell
\nBut I won’t back down<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nNo, I’ll stand my ground
\nWon’t be turned around
\nAnd I’ll keep this world from draggin’ me down
\nGonna stand my ground
\nAnd I won’t back down<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nI won’t back down
\nHey baby, there ain’t no easy way out
\nI won’t back down
\nHey I will stand my ground
\nAnd I won’t back down<\/p>\n

[Verse 3]
\nWell I know what’s right
\nI got just one life
\nIn a world that keeps on pushin’ me around
\nBut I stand my ground
\nAnd I won’t back down<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nI won’t back down
\nHey baby, there ain’t no easy way out
\nI won’t back down
\nHey, I will stand my ground
\nAnd I won’t back down
\nI won’t back down
\nHey baby, there ain’t no easy way out
\nI won’t back down
\nHey, I will stand my ground
\nAnd I won’t back down
\nNo, I won’t back down<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Very Berkeley\/Oakland lyrics? What do you mean?
\nThese yoga therapists are … one of the kind.
\nThey are healers because – they won’t back down.
\nI really love the verse 2.
\nWe want you to be strong and stand your ground.
\nYou need your health; your balance; your strength.<\/p>\n

Because … that’s right:<\/p>\n

No, I’ll stand my ground
\nWon’t be turned around
\nAnd I’ll keep this world from draggin’ me down
\nGonna stand my ground
\nAnd I won’t back down<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
