“An opportunity to listen from Him”

Health is Wealth

As Mahatama Gandhi said: " It is health that is real wealth. "

I Being a fitness freek I know the importance of healthy living. I have committed myself to yoga – My inseparable companion and I am blessed to have Poonam (my wife) who again is a fitness bee. Her support helps me to live my love for health and adds a hand to accomplish it by sharing this love for fitness in the community.

There is nothing in life that is more valuable than good health. Without health, there is no happiness, no peace, and no success. A person with bad health cannot enjoy the pleasure of being wealthy. Money cannot buy health but a healthy body can live the bliss of peace and happiness to make wealth. One may win the world and live the wealth but will still miss the true colors of life if health, love, and gratitude is missing in his life.

In the hustle of life, we miss our breakfast lunch and dinner schedules simply to add wealth to our life. We are consciously living the idea of accumulating wealth for our children. While the fact is its our today’s Investment in health that will gift our children and grandchildren an asset indeed.

This Dhanteras lets take one step towards a healthy lifestyle and gift healthy genes and healthy habits to your children. We wish you a healthy mind and a wealthy lifestyle which could feed good food and good thought to your body; indeed a wealthy soul.

Happy Dhanteras

How do I choose a Yoga Teacher Training Course.

When you are choosing any professional course it is very important to know the ambiance, educational structure, and faculty. But while you are choosing the course from a private institute what matters the most is the attitude of the faculty. Along with past education, appearance, giftedness, and skill the most important aspect is attitude and approach of the faculty towards the subject.

Once you decide to choose a yoga teacher training course you will find a lot of studios and classes that offer 200-hour yoga teacher training for beginners. Every studio will have its own style and approach. Here are 5 basic points you should consider while choosing the Yoga Teacher Training.

1.    Study the history of the Institute conducting the Yoga Teacher Training Course.

These days the fitness idea has boomed the market as one of the business opportunities. While there are many authentic startups with an ultimate yogic idea; one can find many studios opened with a business idea only.  Hence it becomes very important to identify the fictitious studio from the one opened with a mission to serve. It is always suggested to prefer a well established Institute with a minimum of 5+ years of experience. In yoga, it is also important that the institute where the training would be conducted is well ventilated and spacious.

While you can compromise at one or two from the above the one thing which you can never compromise will be “Affiliated of the Yoga Teacher Training Course”

2.    Make sure the Yoga Teacher Training Course is certified by an established yoga institute.

There are many international standards set up these days available to find the good yoga institute. These standards are more helpful to develop the brand of the Yoga Institute. But as a seeker to yoga what attracts you will be the essence of our yogic culture in the nature of the institute. It is very important to find out the roots of the institute you like its registration, years of practice, founder of the institute and the teachings it follows.

3.    Research on the Instructor of Yoga Teacher Training Course

Research upon the teacher trainer conduction the yoga training course. Look at how long they have been teaching and how many hours of training experience they have. The best teachers teach from the heart not from the book. And yoga is passion lived by the follower. But this idea should not disguise you to land with a newly fallen in love trainer who may be a devotee to the yoga but is yet a learner to deliver the essence and technicalities required in it.

4.    Evaluate the course subject and topics considered.

There are various myths about yoga amongst them the one is difficult yoga postures. It is suggested that while you are choosing your yoga teacher training course your choice is not influenced by this myth. As a beginner or as a well-trained yoga instructor the most important aspect is understanding the body anatomy. Hence it very important to find the course syllabus for the balance of subjects taught.

BOOK YOGA TEACHER TRAINING COURSE

5.    Class location and Schedule

Yoga training course May have a good syllabus, affiliation, and faculty. But the most important part of any professional course the techniques or strategy through which the teaching and instructing skills of the student are improved. You may be knowing enough about the subject but class taking skills are important to keep your class apart. A number of intake in one batch is very important to monitor the progress of each and every student participating in the course. Well defined strategy to develop skills of a teacher as a professional can be a deciding factor

To determine what is best will be the individual choice and may vary to match the work and social life. Considering the best program that works best for you; you can begin your journey with yoga.

5 Myths to break and start a Yoga Teacher Training Course

Yoga is religion

India is the incredible land of seers and spiritual leaders and healers. It has always been a torch holder to the west for centuries and has made a tremendous impact on the world for thousands of years. As per Adiyogi(Shiva) the first Yogi, transmitted the science of yoga to the Saptrishis. However, it was not until the birth of another legend, Maharishi Patanjali who assimilated this knowledge into a format known as Yoga Sutra.

While Gita says “Yoga is a journey of the self, through the self, to the self”. Hence whatever you are is yoga. It begins from your body to reflect your mind and soul. It is a human culture that has no religion but infinite acceptance for every doer.

Yoga is all about difficult postures

The immediate reflection of your mind following the word yoga is “asana”. It is the doer's choice to represent yoga with only the physical aspect. Had this been the fact the girl dancing on the rope to fill the stomach, the magician creating illusions for you or the dancers giving pleasure with the difficult postures all would be termed as a yogi. The Patanjali yoga sutra only one sutra talks about asana. Moreover, it advocates the practice of certain principles enumerates as Yama and Niyama, Asana, Pranayama (breathing techniques), Pratyahara, Dharana, Dhyana, and Samadhi. While it starts from the body postures its ultimate aim is to travel through you to reach yourself.

Yoga is an exercise.

Yoga is a discipline that needs not be learned but happens to you once you fall in love with it. It is not an exercise or a hardcore work out. It is planned and implemented in this format to match the requirements of modern culture. But yoga is not an exercise. While practicing the exercise you are doing opening up the muscles while doing yoga asanas, you are opening up that memory and trying to restructure this life toward an ultimate possibility never explored by you.

Anybody can teach Yoga

Today in the world of digitization where information is handy everybody has a say on yoga. It is very essential to understand the body anatomy and involvement of the body while practicing yoga. Attending yoga classes for a period of time and successfully doing a few difficult postures do not certify you as a Yoga Instructor. It is always suggested to find How do I choose a Yoga Teacher Training Course.

Yoga makes you spiritual

The term spiritual is more trending than expanding in its true meaning. Spirituality is a wide term. Alike not every individual studying science becomes a scientist not every follower of yoga becomes spiritual. Every individual is unique and has a unique experience with yoga. And everybody has its own say on it. Yoga helps you to develop self-awareness and rest all would be an individual experience worth to know.

This is the high time to quit all these myths and move on for beautiful life experience. It is devotion to the body you dwell in, it is the service to mankind while you share what you have lived as yoga.

All I would say is start it….
