My training | Monday 11th January 2021

I started practicing yoga in my gym without knowing what to expect, and looking back I realise how lucky I was to be introduced to the practice by such good teachers. One of the classes I was attending - Rocket yoga with Marcus Veda - was particularly difficult for someone just starting out (it was also clearly indicated that you had to be experienced to attend, but I thought at the time that attending a difficult class would allow me to "progress" more quickly. When I think about it now it makes me smile.). Marcus' classes always left me in a state of calm and peacefulness. Kind of like a natural Valium. The biggest challenge was to keep the...

YTT: Final week

YTT: Final week

It’s 7am on Tuesday and I feel like I’m having a lie in. Almost all the students have left Sampoorna, only a few who are travelling before heading back home are attending the daily drop in classes. It’s pretty obvious that we’re having a hard time to let go. I felt that the energy during the last week of the training was really different. Although most of us were anxious with regards to the final test, the overall vibe was quite peaceful. We were focused and we were vibrating in unison.
