Yoga reading notes | Yoga training notes | Yoga practice insights | Yoga people’s stories | Yoga and life (This is a column about yoga people’s stories, and the main characters are you, me and others.
If this story can touch your heart strings, even for a moment, that’s enough!) Janna is a kind of energetic girl who likes to keep her body in good condition.
Fitness and running are her hobbies.
Although working in Tibet at a very high altitude and the climate is not very friendly, she said that she was a bit obsessive-compulsive.
She always went to exercise at a fixed time every day, much like a day’s compulsory course.
Every time she is in the gym, she has a high intensity.
First she does aerobic exercises, and then she goes to private training for special parts.
After the exercise, the soreness all over her body is just common for her.
Occasionally, she would also like to think that it is not bad to stretch and lengthen the muscles after such strenuous exercise.
In 2010, with the mood of practicing and playing, she experienced yoga classes in the gym.
She felt that yoga was just a stretch, and was not too tired after practice.
It was suitable to do it after strength practice.
However, there are two opportunities for Janna to give up fitness completely and devote herself to yoga.
First, she has always been immersed in doing things, but her enthusiasm for rolling iron gradually disappeared for a period of time.
She is rolling iron every day, but she doesn’t know what she is doing.
She is very tired and can’t find the motivation to stick to it.
Secondly, when she was ironing, she was accidentally injured and her fingernails were severely injured.
Since then, she has had some problems with ironing.
She practices yoga regularly every day.
She can’t extricate herself! In the following years, Janna practiced regularly in the local yoga studio.
Due to her good physical condition, she felt that she played well and would continue to challenge some difficult poses.
So she met Ashtanga Yoga.
At that time, the curator of the yoga studio had just returned from Mysore, India, and had a special one month morning class for Ah Tang.
Hearing the curator’s description of the course, she got up early, practiced regularly, tested people…
She was immediately touched and decided to try.
In this attempt, she found that “such a regular yoga practice is completely based on her point, and I can’t help doing the same thing at a fixed time every day.” At that time, Ah Tang’s morning class was a password class every day.
Different from traditional Ah Tang professors, yoga teachers led students to practice as a whole.
As for which posture they can practice every day, it depends on everyone’s practice status and acceptance.
In that month, Janna learned all the asanas of A Tang, and then she began to cook soup regularly by herself, plus she searched for some videos on the Internet to follow.
In 2019, Janna came to Beijing to take a postgraduate course, reopening her life in the yoga studio.
The two teachers in the yoga studio will go to Mysore to practice, but they still teach in the form of password lessons.
However, the teacher will intersperse some yoga philosophy in the classroom, which fully aroused her curiosity, made her a little different among many students, and also gained additional guidance from the teacher.
Janna has a quick personality.
In practice, she is always eager to do various poses.
At that time, she was still unable to do handstand, and she took the trouble to practice every time.
During class, she practiced.
After class, the students were chatting.
She was still jumping and trying handstand.
Seeing such a situation, the teacher would talk to her alone to make her realize that the state and way of practice were wrong.
After a year of practice in the yoga studio, Janna felt that the atmosphere there was no longer suitable for her.
In the password class, the teacher will take into account the status of most students, and will also adjust the sequence of A-Tang postures.
Generally speaking, the practice of sitting posture, coupled with head elbow handstand, will end a 1-hour class.
While Janna has always followed a sequence of password lessons on the video to practice, naturally she felt that the content of the lesson was a little less, and she would share her doubts with the teacher.
At this time, the teacher suggested that she go to a special institution to study Ah Tang.
Through a search and comparison, Janna found that it would cost nearly 20000 yuan to study Ah Tang in China without food and accommodation for a month, while her teacher spent more than 10000 yuan in Mysore, India, after three months in Mysore.
At the bottom of her heart, she was ready to go to the source of Ah Tang.
Go to India to study, but don’t know what you want? When it comes to whether she has any worries or anxieties about going to India, Janna is confident because she has always been independent and has been used to traveling alone, including abroad, such as Japan and Australia.
This time she went to India to study yoga.
She thought it was a very special experience and wanted to try it.
“Anyway, I can live if I go out and starve to death.” Such a determined description actually reflects her confidence and internal strength.
Before setting out, Janna, with the help of her teacher, signed up for the mother class of the General Hospital of Atang, India, and everything was arranged properly.
However, a small episode at the Indian Customs made her almost give up this trip because of the incomprehensible Indian English.
Miraculously, when she was about to give up, she was released again.
Maybe this was God’s will.
In Mysore, Janna shares a flat with a Japanese girl.
The top floor of the apartment is a training institution of Atang, and her enthusiastic roommate told her all kinds of details about reporting in Atang General Hospital in India.
The Mysore class in the mother’s class was free from Monday to Saturday and Sunday.
Janna was a restless person.
She simply negotiated a more cost-effective registration price with the training agency upstairs.
She didn’t need a training certificate, but just wanted to listen to the class and learn some knowledge.
The teacher agreed..
