Week 2 of yoga teacher training

We start off the second week by giving our presentations about the energy body and the main chakras. We continue with 3 yoga sessions per day and can feel by the end of the week tthat we are much more flexible and can get into poses that we couldn't before. Amazing how quickly the body learns! We then dive into discussions about the nadis, aura, ida, pingala and shushumna. Next we tackle energy balancing  and pranic healing and on Thursday Jen kindly asks Patty to come over for some personal sessions on energy balancing and energy massage. I've never felt so relaxed afterwards and getting into the poses have never been easier!!

Friday we go for our beach session in Amanzimtoti and have a gorgeous swim in the seapool afterwards and get naughty with pizza and koeksisters for dinner!.

As if we aren't being spoilt enough, Jen and Lee take us to Tala game reserve on Saturday and we have a spiritual encounter walking amongst the giraffes and see kudu, rhino, hippo and plenty more!

 

The rest of the week is taken up with learning all the different asanas (postures) and also learning 8 different classes and teaching them to each other and with Jen watching and correcting. It is exhausting work, but we put in a lot and also gain a lot in terms of satisfaction and relaxation! Next week we have to teach Jen's classes i.e. to external people!! Eeeek! We end the week by being invited to one of Jen's regular yoga clients neighbouring farm for a delicious stuffed rock cod on the braai! Yummmmm!
