The First Experience!

For some of you that know, I'm training to be a Yoga Instructor and am very excited about it!

Philosophy in general has always held a great appeal to me. This class in particular is backed with a lot of that, and makes the experience that much richer!

I began this training when I was passing through a very stressful period on my personal front and I went in with some apprehension and with a question if anything in this world made sense at all!

My first lesson I learnt there is something that has since been etched in my very being - "Pain is something that can be inflicted on you, but suffering is something you do to yourself".

I was silent for a long time when I first heard and it took me some days to really understand it completely. But, it is the truth! I now believe in it!

It is a long journey to there...but the result I'm sure will be a lesson for a lifetime!

Okay now coming back to the last weekend - I was given an opportunity to lead a class of 30 students along with 3 of my instructors. I had to give them some Deep Relaxation Techniques and walk them through the process as they de-stressed and completely relaxed with a sense of surrender!

I lead the class and gave it my best. And now for the best part...after that class I got great feedback from both the students and the instructors!! They told me that I had great vibes! I was thrilled !!! It gave me a strength - a good feel that I could do something good for others with this! It has given me a new found belief in myself.

And I had to share this first experience as a Yoga Instructor with you...my reader...

I'm proud !!!
