My first teacher training was in Topanga CA ... my practice defiantly progressed and I managed to memorize the asanas order... but I felt it’s not enough, so I signed up for another training in TLV Israel.
TLV training was definitely different from the one in LA, a bit more streaked, hard core sessions , practice of primary series, memorizing Asanas names, breathing, adjustments and more
But I felt yoga is much more then knowing the Asanas names, count and breathing, yoga is more then a sweaty workout that builds strengths and muscles.
I wanted to know what’s the true meaning of YOGA
So I’ve decided to come to the source - to India - Karnataka - Mysore - yogadarshanam.
At yogadarshanam Master Santosh Kumar and his humble crew of amazing teachers thought us the theory, philosophy and the Yoga way of living.
From daily Ashtanga practice, to the knowledge of Iyanger, Hata, pranayama practice, yoga therapy, meditation, chanting, mantras and Mudras, acro / partner yoga, cleansing, I’ve come to understand that yoga is a life time journey ... an ongoing process, a way of living.
I had a lovely month - thank you so much master, thank you Sumit, yogiheesh, Shirihari, and Arpitha
For all the knowledge, dedication, time, support, guidance and much more.
I highly recommend - hope to see you soon again.
