Yoga Teaching Course Information
This course will provide you not only with a life-long livelihood, but also a life, ‘long’, ‘enriched’ and ‘fulfilling’. Yoga is the oldest recorded health science developed as part of the tantric civilization which existed in india and all parts of the world more than 10,000 years ago. India preserved the tradition, within their philosophy called ’darshana’, the m
iracle of yoga was hidden in the mists of time. The word yoga means ‘unity’ or’ oneness’ derived from the sanskrit word ’yuj’ which means ‘to join’. On a practical level it provides the means of bringing health and balance to the body, mind and emotions. Yoga unifies the 3 fundamental requirements for a person to achieve a contented life:
Physical health within the body. A joyful spirit, with accompanied inner peace. On this path you will learn how to balance and harmonize the vital energy within the body. By purifying and strengthening the body and thereby preventing the leakage of this vital energy, you will find stores of it increasing within yourself thus stimulating higher levels of awareness. You will learn how these subtle energies flowing through the body can be harnessed and controlled, how to harmonize body, breathe and mind and also open the currents of psycho-physical energy to penetrate the understanding of super consciousness. Yoga is more than physical; it is cellular, mental, emotional and spiritual and teaches the highest principles of spiritual living. It is meditation with movement leading to a body filled with ease, not disease; a useful existence, a joyful spirit. You were born because you have a special gift; something you can contribute to make the world better. At no other time did the world need yoga more than now… by learning techniques from our wisdom traditions, you can still your own mind, heal your own inner world and with your own peace bring peace to all those around you. Just as one star has the capacity to light up the heavens, one peaceful meditating soul has the capacity to light up all lives about them. By learning to teach yoga you will be involved in the most rewarding and fulfilling profession, so badly needed not only by the individuals within our communities, but by the world itself. This is a career in mind-body health where you will enable yourself to touch the lives of thousands of students. Bks Iyengar says
“learn to learn, learn to teach, teach to learn and teach to teach….”
You will equip yourself with specialized skills-organizational, entrepreneurial, and professional as you learn the principles and techniques of this holistic, healing science. The benefits of this course in natural living will improve not only your physical, mental and spiritual well-being but lead to greater happiness within your relationships and entire environment. Peace yoga is a classical form and needs to be taught with conviction and sincerity. Through the expansion of your own consciousness about the essential truths presented through these incomparable teachings, you will be pivotal in enriching the lives of others. It doesn’t get better than that! You will personally experience the joy of not only becoming a yoga instructor but a true yogi as well. You never knew you could feel so good! You will penetrate the profound nature of yoga which takes you from the surface of your skin to the depths of your very soul. It is a journey we will share together into wholeness and delight.

"A Lady asked an old street vendor: "How much do you sell your eggs for?" The old man replied "0.50¢ an egg, madam.” The Lady responde, “I'll take 6 eggs for $2.00 or I'm leaving.” The old salesman replied, “Buy them at the price you want, Madam. This is a good start for me because I haven't sold a single egg today and I need this to live.”
She bought her eggs at a bargain price and left with the feeling that she had won. She got into her fancy car and went to a fancy restaurant with her friend. She and her friend ordered what they wanted. They ate a little and left a lot of what they had asked for. So they paid the bill, which was $150. The ladies gave $200 and told the fancy restaurant owner to keep the change as a tip.
This story might seem quite normal to the owner of the fancy restaurant, but very unfair to the egg seller. The question it raises is;
Why do we always need to show that we have power when we buy from the needy?
And why are we generous to those who don't even need our generosity?
We once read somewhere that a father used to buy goods from poor people at a high price, even though he didn't need the things. Sometimes he paid more for them. His children were amazed. One day they asked him "why are you doing this dad?" The father replied: "It's charity wrapped in dignity.”
I know that most of you will not share this message, but if you are one of the people who have taken the time to read this far...
Then this message of attempted "humanisation" will have gone one step further in the right direction."
Thanks for reading.

Keanu Reeves was abandoned by his father at 3 years old and grew up with 3 different stepfathers. He is dyslexic. His dream of becoming a hockey player was shattered by a serious accident. His daughter died at birth. His wife died in a car accident. His best friend, River Phoenix, died of an overdose. His sister has leukemia.
And with everything that has happened, Keanu Reeves never misses an opportunity to help people in need. When he was filming the movie "The Lake House," he overheard the conversation of two costume assistants; One cried because he would lose his house if he did not pay $20,000 and on the same day Keanu deposited the necessary amount in the woman's bank account; He also donated stratospheric sums to hospitals.
In 2010, on his birthday, Keanu walked into a bakery and bought a brioche with a single candle, ate it in front of the bakery, and offered coffee to people who stopped to talk to him.
After winning astronomical sums for the Matrix trilogy, the actor donated more than $50 million to the staff who handled the costumes and special effects - the true heroes of the trilogy, as he called them.
He also gave a Harley-Davidson to each of the stunt doubles. A total expense of several million dollars. And for many successful films, he has even given up 90% of his salary to allow the production to hire other stars.
In 1997 some paparazzi found him walking one morning in the company of a homeless man in Los Angeles, listening to him and sharing his life for a few hours.
Most stars when they make a charitable gesture they declare it to all the media. He has never claimed to be doing charity, he simply does it as a matter of moral principles and not to look better in the eyes of others.
This man could buy everything, and instead every day he gets up and chooses one thing that cannot be bought: To be a good person.
Keanu Reeves’ father is of Native Hawaiian descent
