We’re Falling In Love With Yoga — 2012 New Year Resolution!!

We fall in love with yoga and then wish to go deeper. It becomes a challenge to master poses that aren’t easy for us, but we rise to the occasion. Then we take this same strength off the mat into life to master the roles we would find troublesome. We wish to make life one giant yoga class and have everyone go inward to that sense of peace and centeredness that we feel while doing most any kind of yoga.

Many of us pursue the calling to go deeper and share this love of yoga with others. The first reason many wish to study yoga is to reach that higher space in ourselves and remain. We wish to develop the qualities we see in the yoga instructors we admire”a sense of calmness, an ability to face life’s confrontations with harmony, a sense of returning home to our non secular center, and having the ability to live life from that deep inner-strength and wisdom.

What have you got to gain from pursuing a yoga certification?

To begin with, you will have to face the enlargement of learning the asanas with larger mastery and open yourself more entirely to life.

In addition, you may learn more about your body and its needs, develop a larger appreciation of your physical anatomy and your subtle energy body composed of chakras — all leading to a greater sense of well-being.

And finally, as you look at the wisdom of yoga philosophy, you find out how to conform the yoga sutras and vedas to bolster your capability to handle life’s challenges.

And, finally, in a yoga teacher training, you are steered to look into your own shade side, see where your human frailty pops up, learn how to accept yourself as you are, make any desired changes, and use ancient strategies to control your humanity and maintain an inspiring presence and disposition.

Whether or not you choose to teach yoga, the benefits of attending a yoga teacher training are life-enhancing to oneself.

As you leap into leading yoga classes, you learn to hold a safe space to steer others to go inward and experience their inner being and deeper knowledge. You will develop the facility to clear your mind when called to carry on a class, and you become a Buddha field, aiding others in quieting their minds and accessing internal tranquility.

It is just like leading a class that calls you to leave your |pride|self-importance|smugness|ego} behind and become a Divine being that you share with others. You may help your students access inner peace and deeper spirituality as you guide them to breathe, center and warm-up, expand into an inspiring series of yoga poses, wind down in mild, nurturing stretches, and enter a guided deep relaxation that carries them beyond worldly concerns. It’s the best gift you can give to anyone, especially yourself.
