Testimonials from the graduates

Samtosadanuttamah sukhalabhah “By contentment supreme joy is gained”   For me, what I have learned thus far through practice, is that contentment is in the state of being, satisfaction arrives at the achievement of a goal. These two forces arrive in yoga practice often. The bifurcation of these forces is sometimes necessary because the achievement of a goal is not always possible and can lead to disappointment. Thus, the ends cannot always justify the means. The journey itself is the state of presence of mind that is all important when one is truly engaged in one’s own practice, it is the essence of contentment. I entered our YTT program with several goals in mind, and of course the 5 goals of our class trajectory were among them. I came with the idea of deepening my own knowledge, and not necessarily with the goal that one day I would like to teach yoga. I came with a desire to grow stronger and to learn from my teacher and my fellow students. I can honestly say that all of these “goals” have been achieved, but there is something much deeper and more surprising that has happened in the course of my personal journey, and that is I feel that I can exist in the present much more, I can be content with what I have and who I am, and I don’t feel pressured to decide “what to do with my yoga training”. I have learned to dwell in a place that is much freer. 1) To deepen and strengthen your personal practice. I have done this by practicing daily if only for ten minutes, but also making a point of getting to a class if I didn’t think I could practice on my own. By doing this, I have been able to sit for longer periods and enjoy my scholarly work in ways I haven’t been able to before. I have also grown stronger in my practice of yoga, and cam do poses I never thought I would do. These poses had been a “goal” but arrived….in a process! This of course leads to the idea that I am learning patience with myself and with others. 2) An understanding of the importance of having meditation, pranayama and asana practice. At first, I had trouble with the idea of a regular meditation practice, because sitting still has always been difficult for me. I have found that through pranayama, and asana practice, the meditation is “icing on the cake”. I come to meditate with a feeling of eagerness. In class when we meditate, I hardly notice the hour has gone by. I know I will have to use a greater discipline if I am to do an hour a day, but I know I can do it. 3) A strong relationship with yoga philosophy and its teachings. Initially, I was fascinated by the history and philosophy of yoga, and I have become even more interested in the philosophy classes, recordings and readings in the philosophy behind the practice of yoga. I have a critical mind by nature so that forming the questions is part of my practice, but I find that even with a most inquisitive nature, one can be a true practitioner of yoga. It is the path to formulating the good questions, and ever searching for the answers that keeps one in their own state of “presence” of mind and body. 4) To feel comfortable leading a level 1 beginners class. As stated earlier, I did not enter this class thinking of the goal of becoming a teacher of yoga. After the first two classes I taught here, I have come to the realization that I am by nature a teacher, so that the classroom is a natural environment to me. I feel comfortable teaching others yoga and am delighted to share my enthusiasm and knowledge with my students and colleagues. Moreover, I am inspired to continue learning from my students and to evolve as a teacher. 6) To share the knowledge of Yoga. I believe this goal will be in process forever. I began to share my love of yoga with friends and family from the start of my practice. I hope to continue to share this love in the larger context of teachings classes on an internationally. — Barbara
