Yoga reading notes ｜ yoga training notes ｜ yoga practice experience ｜ yogi’s story ｜ yoga and life (this is a column about yogi’s story, and the protagonist is you, me and him.
If this story can touch your heartstrings, even for a moment, it’s enough!) In October 2019, Vince boarded the star cruise ship in Montenegro and started a seaman experience for half a year.
His job is mainly to edit videos and shoot wonderful moments of tourists on board.
For him majoring in photography, this job is simple and leisurely.
In the endless sea, the star galloped freely along the established route, passing through Europe with a comfortable and warm climate, and then to America with a hot and sunny climate.
In the eyes of outsiders, this is a beautiful job, but his experience is not so.
On the relatively closed cruise ship, he has to face many unexpected things, including the working state without vacation, the all-weather air-conditioned environment and the interpersonal relationship he has to face anyway.
Finally, two months later, the little snowball rolled into a big snowball, and his body gave honest feedback.
Herpes zoster hit.
At its worst, half of his face was swollen.
“Just like the person in the movie who has been radiated by the enemy with gamma rays, half of his face can’t move and can’t speak clearly.” The doctor on board gave a series of treatment plans, but the effect was not good.
Vince had to get off the ship ahead of time.
Fortunately, including his initial flight to his home country, he just circled the earth.
In the spirit of “having fun”, he is very satisfied.
After returning home, he began to treat diseases, including trying traditional Chinese medicine, western medicine and so on.
Misfortune and blessing, it was such a cruise trip full of small episodes that made him embark on the road of in-depth study of yoga.
The biggest gain in the workshop is to sleep well.
After a period of TCM physiotherapy, the doctor told Vince that the treatment can not be unlimited.
Although he can continue to do the treatment, the final recovery still depends on himself.
Hearing the doctor’s advice, he began to think about how to make his body recover to 80% or even 90% and return to 100% full? At that time, while seeking medical treatment to cure himself, he would take Yoga membership classes from time to time.
Therefore, he consulted the yoga teacher at that time, and the answer was to systematically study the primary teaching and training courses of Youji yoga.
Such an answer is in line with Vince’s knowledge seeking style of always breaking the casserole.
This time, he finally had the opportunity to dig into yoga instead of just staying on the surface.
In fact, Vince came into contact with yoga shortly after graduating from college.
He ran a fitness card with his colleagues, and the gym gave him a free health test at that time.
The staff of the gym is very honest.
They say that he has enough muscle and a little fat.
It doesn’t make much sense to practice equipment.
You can try yoga class.
Vince was obedient and went.
Now recalling the yoga class at that time, he said that he was not very impressed.
There was no singing, and there seemed to be no rest technique, but it was very comfortable after a class.
“My body is very hard and strong.
Even if I stretch, it’s difficult to pull myself in pain, but it will be more comfortable after stretching.” Vince was very impressed when he talked about the one month basic teaching and training course of Youji yoga.
He said he felt that the body still had a lot of potential.
He felt that there was a chance to recover from diseases or sequelae that he thought might not be cured.
Vince has always had a low back injury, which is related to his living habits before going to sea.
His physical strength is strong, relatively rigid, and he has not been fully stretched for a long time.
After a long time, the injury appeared.
“In a month’s practice, I did a lot of asanas.
Although my body will be limited, I didn’t get hurt in Yoga asanas.
I feel that this practice method is correct and I can improve my body a little bit.” Theoretical knowledge is another great harvest of Vince in his teaching and training class, which also gave him an in-depth study of meditation.
When he was a child, he would like to sit cross legged.
If he learned to meditate for a while, wouldn’t he? Or, as in the martial arts film, you can get through Ren Du’s two veins, and then you can fly.
When he grows up, perhaps because of his character, he still retains this habit.
When things are long, he closes his eyes for a while and enjoys it.
In the same year, he participated in Mr.
Borg’s meditation workshop and benefited a lot.
Although Vince is very clear that meditation is not sleep, it’s best not to lose consciousness during intermediate and advanced meditation practice, otherwise it means you can’t control your mind.
However, when practicing meditation, it is most difficult to be sober and calm your mind.
Even so, in the workshop, he would still sleep over, but he was very satisfied.
“My biggest gain in the workshop is that I sleep well.
At the same time, when I find that my mind is more stable, my body is more stable, and some postures can be easily maintained for longer than before.” The good attitude of having a good sleep also comes from the guidance of Mr.
Borg.
Vince said that Mr.
Borg is a very interesting meditation teacher.
In class, he will tell the students, “if you are sleepy, go to sleep.
When you completely relax, you can go to sleep, which means that your body needs sleep, and you just need to give your body what it needs most.
At the same time, before you fall asleep, you are very comfortable, and your body and mind are guided to get the best relaxation state you can do at that time.” In 2020, Vince participated in Mr.
Mohan’s seminar.
He is the kind of person who can integrate what he has learned.
While accepting the knowledge imparted by Mr.
Mohan, he will think about it and seek a path suitable for himself..
