What a great response we have had for participation in the immersion. I have so enjoyed reading the registration forms and hearing why you are interested in participating. The forms have generated several good topics for discussion that we will get into over the next month. Since we are not all reading the same books, if there is a topic you would like discussed through the blog...please send it to me at info@ashtangayogarichmond.com
Overall there seems to be very little fear and a lot of excitement about the start of the immersion. So now the work begins. But what does that mean?? In my opinion, the work is in the commitment and the rest will unfold. You commit to a practice (asana, reading or meditation) everyday and see what happens. The easeful, the restless, the boredom and the list goes on and on. Try not to create undo stress, take one day at a time and set up a realistic amount of practice time. The intent for creating the immersion was to create a format for students to dig deeper and examine what yoga means to them. This is your opportunity to learn more about yourself. We are here to support you on that journey, but the work will come from within you. If you have a "not so favorable" experience or day, make a note and start fresh the next day. Don't let the "not so favorable" experiences take you down the road of "I can't do this", "this is stupid"and "I don't have time". True transformation takes time and effort, so look at this time (30 days) as a chance to awaken or get a glimpse of something new. And try to have some fun in the process.
