Course information

Do Conserve your energy : dont waste your time arguing, indulging in useless banter or gossiping. During the week just focus to give your 100% to the course. Even if its not the topics you particularly like chanting, singing or meditation or waking up in the dead hours of the morning.

• Do Rest : Get a good 5-6 hours of sleep at night in addition at least 1 power nap during your break. It makes a world of a difference to your practice.
• Do Write : Try and document everything in class make little notes on sequences, anatomy etc
• Do Stay energised and hydrated : Buy raw dry fruits like almonds, raisins, figs, walnuts to snack on in between classes. Try and drink fresh coconut water after every practice to replenish fluids.
• Do Eat nutritious food : Dont get carried away with all Indian food, some can be very heavy to digest and will affect your practice and mind the next day. Try and stick to something simple that works for you. Eat light at dinner time since your wake up would be before 5 am the next day. Dont go on a juice fast / feast or a regular fast during your TTC as this will affect your energy and mental clarity.This is not the time for it. By all means choose to be on any of the above after the TTC is over. The TTC is very hectic demanding all of your time and energy, one must be prepared to accept this. It is by no means a yoga retreat or just practice of asanas. All that asana practice, chanting and pranyama somehow starts opening up a lot of blockages in ones body. This internal garbage starts to pour out, sometimes in form of tears or sudden outbursts of hysteria, just understand, that this is normal, and find a way to deal with it without disturbing the energy of the class. Once youve cried it all out or screamed into your pillow, the next day you will be a new, lighter, friendlier you !
• Do Try and stay at least 2 weeks extra for a morning and evening practice,besides the 4 weeks of ttc. It will help you catch up with the difficulties you may have had during ttc and work on them in a relaxed manner.
