Sampuran Yoga

trength and prevent further injury is yoga. I took my first yoga class almost 7 years ago as I knew that it would help with my aches and pains and improve my flexibility but I did not expect it to have such a profound effect on my mind. I find that the body-breath-mind connection that is maintained throughout the yoga practice gives me a deep calming feeling that is very hard to replicate and it is part of the reason why I fell in love with yoga. I used to practice yoga just to help me prepare for my next martial arts class but now it has become much more than that. It is a way for me to relieve stress and tension in my mind and body and it also helps increase my mental strength, focus, determination as well as improve my muscular strength, flexibility and balance. It has had such a large impart on my life as a whole and practicing yoga has definitely helped me become the person I am today. My love for yoga has grown over the years and always knew I had the ability to teach it to others so I decided it was time to go to Rishikesh, India to complete my 500 Hour Hatha YTTC. During the 10 weeks I was exposed to not only the intense physical asana practices, but the philosophical and spiritual side of yoga as well. I learned several different cleansing, breathing, meditation techniques as well as physical adjustments for the asana practices in my time in Rishikesh. It was extremely eye opening and fulfilling experience and I am very happy that I decided to do my training there.
