アーユルヴェーダ・ヘルスケアトレーニング(Level 1) の4回目が終了！あと1回を残すのみとなりました。北海道・東京・鹿児島・インドネシア・カイルア（ハワイ）からZoomに集結！オンラインだからこそのおうちトレーニング。

私たちの身体は、自然と共存、むしろ融合していることをじっくりと感じるアーユルヴェーダ。自分の身体に向き合って「自分の身体はユニークだ！」と改めて知ります。

今回は、初めてづくしのトレーニング🌟 テッドの通訳ではない私主導であること、スタジオではなくて、ハワイと日本を結んでのZoom利用のオンラインであること、カリキュラムが改定されて、「5日間・1日5時間」となったことでした。

受講生はワイキキビーチヨガに参加された方々ですが、Zoomで初対面。画面上でしか会えないけど、ヨガとハワイが大好きな「仲間」で支え合った5日間でした。

Raja Yoga means “to shine the mind.” Over a month has passed since finishing week #3 of training with Yoga Awareness. For myself, this four weeks have been filled with many life-changing events including moving to another part of the world and a new job--to name a couple. Amidst these changes daily homework assignments provided a backdrop. The focus on our...

The unwatched mind is like a runaway train — it’s very hard to slow down and see clearly. That’s why yoga, including meditation (dhyanam) is so profound and important. It’s training ourself to be aware of the sensations, thoughts, and emotions present in any given situation. Rather than running off in the story of those thoughts or feelings, we see them as...

As T.K.V. Desikachar once said, “Yoga is relationship”. The gift of this unique relationship is that it honours the link with the source of the teaching. The very first time I met my teacher Tedd Surman, I felt it instantly. Each time I am with my teacher I am linked to the source. Every time I practice, meditate, chant, I am linked to the source. And every...

"Yoga is relationship” - T.K.V Desikachar
