Week 1 - Assignment ... What is my goal for the course?

In August this year I successfully passed the 200 hours teacher training in Rishikesh, India. I had been practicing yoga on and off for a few years, but I never knew too much about yoga. So diving into yoga in India seemed to be the right choice at the time. And I was not disappointed! I spent four amazing weeks full of practice, learning about yoga and life and full of memories for a lifetime there. Even thought it was really hard on some days, I will never forget the time I spent there. Coming back to the corporate world was hard for me. I am currently living in China and the concept of mindfulness is quickly blown away in the hectic lifestyle of a big metropolitan area. It has been two months since I returned from India and my yoga practice has not yet found a regular place in my daily life. In the YogaMOOC we were asked to form a goal for the class: I want to focus more on what I love to do and practice yoga at least twice a week for one hour. I wish all the other particip...

Week 5 - My goal

I can't believe it's week 5 already. Where has time gone? There is one really good thing about this: Week 5 of the YogaMOOC means, that I have successfully spent 5 out of 6 weeks in China already.

To be honest, I have been so tired lately, that my number one focus was to get enough quality sleep. HOWEVER : I practiced more yoga on the weekend. I did plan a lot of things for my last weekend in China, but what's also part of this plan was yoga. I ran around in old town Suzhou and enjoyed some great time on my mat. Lately I have been enjoying slow yoga practices more than energetic practice. So I tend to ...

Week 6 - Reflection

Observation of Interpersonal Interactions During the observation of interpersonal interactions I found that I enjoy listening to people and their stories. However, it always depends on the person. So if the person is just going on and on and on about something that is sooo stupid in his or her life, I may reach a point where I stop listening very closely. I still try to comfort the person and try to find a solution to the situation. This happened with two friends in the last week and I feel they got some good input from our conversation. I enjoy helping out friends and I look forward to helping people through yoga. Because yoga is also about interpersonal interactions, just not by words but by spending quality time together. Course Goal Assessment My course goal was to get into a more regular practice of yoga, that is 3 times 30 minutes a week. To be honest, as I took this course during the last 6 weeks of my assignment in China, I could not stick to this rule all the time....
