Oh my god, time flies, only one more week left! I cannot believe it. All our asana workshops are replaced by teacher workshops and discussion groups. There are a lot of inputs this week. Learnt a lot of yoga philosophy, teaching skills and assisting technique.
I have just notice that I have not wear makeup and high heels for three weeks now. Not to mention shopping. I am ground to earth, I do not care about what I look like, and I do not care about what people think I look like. I guess I am just focusing more about myself rather than what others think about me.
The yoga philosophy is actually difficult, because it's something new and different for me. I took a lot of time to digest all the information as well as to understand them. I learnt about I am the universe and the universe is me. Happiness is what the universe wants from us.
I realize that using prop is very helpful. I am so scared of inversions, especially which requires my head upside down. I never have the confident to do bakasana, as I am so scared that I might break my neck. On Friday, I put the bolster between my head and the mat, which makes my head really close to the bolster. Amazingly, I can hold my bakasana, which is fantastic. It's actually the highlight of the week.
