To that end, she has envisioned a space that will serve to enrich the lives of its visitors, whether through yoga or through its many health-and-wellness-related workshops. </div></div>\n</div></div></div><div id=\"pgc-2066-4-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\"  data-weight=\"0.30573663624511\" ><div id=\"panel-2066-4-1-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-image panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"12\" data-style=\"{&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;}\" >[siteorigin_widget class=\"SiteOrigin_Widget_Image_Widget\"]<input type=\"hidden\" value=\"{&quot;instance&quot;:{&quot;image&quot;:2101,&quot;image_fallback&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;full&quot;,&quot;align&quot;:&quot;default&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;title_position&quot;:&quot;hidden&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;url&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;bound&quot;:true,&quot;_sow_form_id&quot;:&quot;59711c09d016e&quot;,&quot;_sow_form_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1500585272003&quot;,&quot;new_window&quot;:false,&quot;full_width&quot;:false},&quot;args&quot;:{&quot;before_widget&quot;:&quot;&lt;div id=\\&quot;panel-2066-4-1-0\\&quot; class=\\&quot;so-panel widget widget_sow-image panel-first-child panel-last-child\\&quot; data-index=\\&quot;12\\&quot; data-style=\\&quot;{&amp;quot;background_display&amp;quot;:&amp;quot;tile&amp;quot;}\\&quot; &gt;&quot;,&quot;after_widget&quot;:&quot;&lt;\\/div&gt;&quot;,&quot;before_title&quot;:&quot;&lt;h3 class=\\&quot;widget-title\\&quot;&gt;&quot;,&quot;after_title&quot;:&quot;&lt;\\/h3&gt;&quot;,&quot;widget_id&quot;:&quot;widget-4-1-0&quot;}}\" />[/siteorigin_widget]</div></div></div><div id=\"pg-2066-5\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\"  data-style=\"{&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;,&quot;cell_alignment&quot;:&quot;flex-start&quot;}\" ><div id=\"pgc-2066-5-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\"  data-weight=\"0.69426336375489\" ><div id=\"panel-2066-5-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"13\" data-style=\"{&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;}\" ><div class=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"><h3 class=\"widget-title\">Angelina McNamee: Yoga Methodology</h3>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n	<p>Sunday\'s April 8, 2018, 12:30 - 5:30 p.m.</p>\n<p class=\"paragraph_style_2\">About Angelina McNamee:</p>\n<p class=\"paragraph_style_2\">Angelina has several Bachelor degrees and a Master\'s in Education.

It is a process and a way of relating to each other that my parents have invited in our family since I was very little. I can see how much it has helped and still helps to nurture our relationships in my nuclear family of six people.<br />After reading and experiencing by my-self for many years, I joined a community and studied Nonviolent Communication for a in Montreal. Meanwhile, I started offering workshops with Erik Pena Salazar from Communication Synergie. I moved recently to Nanaimo and I am starting a training to engage in the certification process (The Center for Nonviolent Communication) with The Farthest Shore on Gabriola Island. <br />I feel so grateful about having NVC in my life that I want to share it with others. I have the deep conviction that the way we relate to ourselves and to each other is at the core of the type of violence we observe and perpetuate in the world. I think we need to make a deep change in the way we relate to ourselves, to each other and to the planet if we want to survive as a species on this planet. And I definitely want to be part of this change! I am combining my NVC work to nature connection and improvisation approaches.

It was the vulnerability and honesty of the teacher that showed me that we are all in this together - that we all go through the heartaches, and the joys, and the boredom. After a few years of practicing, I simply couldn\'t NOT teach others, because of how much I\'d learned and fallen in love with in the practice. I have done teacher trainings in Anusara, Ashtanga and Ayurvedic Yoga Therapy and have yet to cease wanting to keep learning more about this never ending field. When I teach, I think of what could help my students feel as good as their bodies were designed to feel...to remember how fantastic we\'re all meant to feel if we take care and pay attention. I like to remind the fellas I teach that they are quite possibly the most flexible guys in their entire family lineage, and to take that as a big pat on the back :) I like to encourage and motivate, and show people how remarkable they truly are.</p>\n<p>I have a 200 hour through ensure, and a 250 hour through ayurvedic yoga therapy and a 50 hour kundalini.

Her passion is cultivating authenticity in our experience by stepping out of habits and into personal empowerment. She shares Kundalini Yoga (the yoga of action), Hatha, Prenatal, Yin and Restorative Practices. She is the Founder of Manipura Yoga School and loves training Yoga Teachers to share their vision with the world. <em>“A human life is made up of choices. Yoga is mindfully connecting to those choices. Connecting to our truth, power, and worthiness. Connecting to our bodies, breath and life force. Connecting to how our habit energy works, and what it feels like when we rise above our habits into our true vibrant state. Yoga is a set of powerful technologies that support our journey to mindful connection, each day, each moment, and each breath. Even “when we don’t feel like it.” We have choices.

Aletheia is a Greek word meaning “Truth” and it refers to \"the state of not being hidden; the state of being evident.\" Through your own breath and willingness, you reveal your Self - a revealing that can have profound impact on your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well being.” Trevor Yelich, Aletheia Breathwork Facilitator Trainer</p>\n<p>As you lay down and connect your breath for one hour, Taiya will offer tools to help you stay present, to move energy and emotions. She will share positive affirmations, acupressure, Reiki energy healing and sound healing.

Like many others, she is also on a quest to connect to the core; to her truth. She believes that how we practice yoga, and what we come up against on the mat is our very own practice ground for real life.  Yoga keeps her humble, and hungry for more knowledge.  She teaches because she loves to share her own discoveries on her journey through this wonderful and messy life.    </p>\n<p>Nura has trained and mentored with Sanjeev Bhanot, Founder of Yogalife Foundation, and has completed the 200 hour yoga training at Kripalu Center in Massachusetts.  She is trained, certified and experienced in prenatal yoga and has done further studies in Core Strength Vinyasa, Anusara and Thai yoga massage.  She is also a Licensed and Board Certified Massage Therapist in New York and in the USA with over 1000 hours of training. Nura brings a unique set of skills to her yoga teaching from her background as a therapeutic massage therapist. She enjoys the interplay between yoga and massage work and draws from all her studies in her classes, workshops and trainings. Her yoga teaching is always infused with a strong foundation in anatomy and physiology.  She has been trained, over the past decade and a half, to see the movement and the freedom, as well as the tension and the blocks, in bodies.  </p></div>\n</div></div></div><div id=\"pgc-2066-15-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\"  data-weight=\"0.30443285528031\" ><div id=\"panel-2066-15-1-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-image panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"34\" data-style=\"{&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;}\" >[siteorigin_widget class=\"SiteOrigin_Widget_Image_Widget\"]<input type=\"hidden\" value=\"{&quot;instance&quot;:{&quot;image&quot;:2096,&quot;image_fallback&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;full&quot;,&quot;align&quot;:&quot;default&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;title_position&quot;:&quot;hidden&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;url&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;bound&quot;:true,&quot;_sow_form_id&quot;:&quot;59711ab97f411&quot;,&quot;_sow_form_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1500584657026&quot;,&quot;new_window&quot;:false,&quot;full_width&quot;:false},&quot;args&quot;:{&quot;before_widget&quot;:&quot;&lt;div id=\\&quot;panel-2066-15-1-0\\&quot; class=\\&quot;so-panel widget widget_sow-image panel-first-child panel-last-child\\&quot; data-index=\\&quot;34\\&quot; data-style=\\&quot;{&amp;quot;background_display&amp;quot;:&amp;quot;tile&amp;quot;}\\&quot; &gt;&quot;,&quot;after_widget&quot;:&quot;&lt;\\/div&gt;&quot;,&quot;before_title&quot;:&quot;&lt;h3 class=\\&quot;widget-title\\&quot;&gt;&quot;,&quot;after_title&quot;:&quot;&lt;\\/h3&gt;&quot;,&quot;widget_id&quot;:&quot;widget-15-1-0&quot;}}\" />[/siteorigin_widget]</div></div></div></div>', '200 Hours Yoga Teacher Training', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '2066-revision-v1', '', '', '2018-05-16 21:47:37', '2018-05-16 21:47:37', '', 2066, 'http://www.choose2be.ca/2066-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0);

It was the vulnerability and honesty of the teacher that showed me that we are all in this together - that we all go through the heartaches, and the joys, and the boredom. After a few years of practicing, I simply couldn\'t NOT teach others, because of how much I\'d learned and fallen in love with in the practice. I have done teacher trainings in Anusara, Ashtanga and Ayurvedic Yoga Therapy and have yet to cease wanting to keep learning more about this never ending field. When I teach, I think of what could help my students feel as good as their bodies were designed to feel...to remember how fantastic we\'re all meant to feel if we take care and pay attention. I like to remind the fellas I teach that they are quite possibly the most flexible guys in their entire family lineage, and to take that as a big pat on the back :) I like to encourage and motivate, and show people how remarkable they truly are.</p>\n<p>I have a 200 hour through ensure, and a 250 hour through ayurvedic yoga therapy and a 50 hour kundalini.

In this Kundalini Yoga and Meditation workshop, we will practice powerful kriyas to cleanse the nervous system, mantras to connect to clarity, and learn why this form of yoga is so special.  Kundalini is the Yoga of awareness and action. This is an introduction to the incredible depth of practices available to you through the Kundalini Tradition.</div>\n<p lang=\"en-US\"> <a href=\"http://awesomeyoga.ca/\">About Jay SuttonBrown</a>:</p>\n<p>Jay Suttonbrown, E-RYT 500 has been teach yoga for over a decade. Her passion is cultivating authenticity in our experience by stepping out of habits and into personal empowerment. She shares Kundalini Yoga (the yoga of action), Hatha, Prenatal, Yin and Restorative Practices. She is the Founder of Manipura Yoga School and loves training Yoga Teachers to share their vision with the world. <em>“A human life is made up of choices. Yoga is mindfully connecting to those choices. Connecting to our truth, power, and worthiness. Connecting to our bodies, breath and life force. Connecting to how our habit energy works, and what it feels like when we rise above our habits into our true vibrant state. Yoga is a set of powerful technologies that support our journey to mindful connection, each day, each moment, and each breath. Even “when we don’t feel like it.” We have choices.

Like many others, she is also on a quest to connect to the core; to her truth. She believes that how we practice yoga, and what we come up against on the mat is our very own practice ground for real life.  Yoga keeps her humble, and hungry for more knowledge.  She teaches because she loves to share her own discoveries on her journey through this wonderful and messy life.    </p>\n<p>Nura has trained and mentored with Sanjeev Bhanot, Founder of Yogalife Foundation, and has completed the 200 hour yoga training at Kripalu Center in Massachusetts.  She is trained, certified and experienced in prenatal yoga and has done further studies in Core Strength Vinyasa, Anusara and Thai yoga massage.  She is also a Licensed and Board Certified Massage Therapist in New York and in the USA with over 1000 hours of training. Nura brings a unique set of skills to her yoga teaching from her background as a therapeutic massage therapist. She enjoys the interplay between yoga and massage work and draws from all her studies in her classes, workshops and trainings. Her yoga teaching is always infused with a strong foundation in anatomy and physiology.  She has been trained, over the past decade and a half, to see the movement and the freedom, as well as the tension and the blocks, in bodies.  </p></div>\n</div></div></div><div id=\"pgc-2624-13-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\"  data-weight=\"0.30443285528031\" ><div id=\"panel-2624-13-1-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-image panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"30\" data-style=\"{&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;}\" >[siteorigin_widget class=\"SiteOrigin_Widget_Image_Widget\"]<input type=\"hidden\" value=\"{&quot;instance&quot;:{&quot;image&quot;:2096,&quot;image_fallback&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;full&quot;,&quot;align&quot;:&quot;default&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;title_position&quot;:&quot;hidden&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;url&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;bound&quot;:true,&quot;_sow_form_id&quot;:&quot;59711ab97f411&quot;,&quot;_sow_form_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1500584657026&quot;,&quot;new_window&quot;:false,&quot;full_width&quot;:false},&quot;args&quot;:{&quot;before_widget&quot;:&quot;&lt;div id=\\&quot;panel-2624-13-1-0\\&quot; class=\\&quot;so-panel widget widget_sow-image panel-first-child panel-last-child\\&quot; data-index=\\&quot;30\\&quot; data-style=\\&quot;{&amp;quot;background_display&amp;quot;:&amp;quot;tile&amp;quot;}\\&quot; &gt;&quot;,&quot;after_widget&quot;:&quot;&lt;\\/div&gt;&quot;,&quot;before_title&quot;:&quot;&lt;h3 class=\\&quot;widget-title\\&quot;&gt;&quot;,&quot;after_title&quot;:&quot;&lt;\\/h3&gt;&quot;,&quot;widget_id&quot;:&quot;widget-13-1-0&quot;}}\" />[/siteorigin_widget]</div></div></div></div>', '200 Hours Yoga Teacher Training', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '2066-revision-v1', '', '', '2018-06-04 05:45:43', '2018-06-04 05:45:43', '', 2066, 'http://www.choose2be.ca/2066-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0);

To that end, she has envisioned a space that will serve to enrich the lives of its visitors, whether through yoga or through its many health-and-wellness-related workshops. </div></div>\n</div></div></div><div id=\"pgc-2066-5-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\"  data-weight=\"0.30573663624511\" ><div id=\"panel-2066-5-1-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-image panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"13\" data-style=\"{&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;}\" >[siteorigin_widget class=\"SiteOrigin_Widget_Image_Widget\"]<input type=\"hidden\" value=\"{&quot;instance&quot;:{&quot;image&quot;:2101,&quot;image_fallback&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;full&quot;,&quot;align&quot;:&quot;default&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;title_position&quot;:&quot;hidden&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;url&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;bound&quot;:true,&quot;_sow_form_id&quot;:&quot;59711c09d016e&quot;,&quot;_sow_form_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1500585272003&quot;,&quot;new_window&quot;:false,&quot;full_width&quot;:false},&quot;args&quot;:{&quot;before_widget&quot;:&quot;&lt;div id=\\&quot;panel-2066-5-1-0\\&quot; class=\\&quot;so-panel widget widget_sow-image panel-first-child panel-last-child\\&quot; data-index=\\&quot;13\\&quot; data-style=\\&quot;{&amp;quot;background_display&amp;quot;:&amp;quot;tile&amp;quot;}\\&quot; &gt;&quot;,&quot;after_widget&quot;:&quot;&lt;\\/div&gt;&quot;,&quot;before_title&quot;:&quot;&lt;h3 class=\\&quot;widget-title\\&quot;&gt;&quot;,&quot;after_title&quot;:&quot;&lt;\\/h3&gt;&quot;,&quot;widget_id&quot;:&quot;widget-5-1-0&quot;}}\" />[/siteorigin_widget]</div></div></div><div id=\"pg-2066-6\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\"  data-style=\"{&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;,&quot;cell_alignment&quot;:&quot;flex-start&quot;}\" ><div id=\"pgc-2066-6-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\"  data-weight=\"0.69426336375489\" ><div id=\"panel-2066-6-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"14\" data-style=\"{&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;}\" ><div class=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"><h3 class=\"widget-title\">Angelina McNamee: Yoga Methodology</h3>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n	<p>Sunday\'s April 8, 2018, 12:30 - 5:30 p.m.</p>\n<p class=\"paragraph_style_2\">About Angelina McNamee:</p>\n<p class=\"paragraph_style_2\">Angelina has several Bachelor degrees and a Master\'s in Education.

It is a process and a way of relating to each other that my parents have invited in our family since I was very little. I can see how much it has helped and still helps to nurture our relationships in my nuclear family of six people.<br />After reading and experiencing by my-self for many years, I joined a community and studied Nonviolent Communication for a in Montreal. Meanwhile, I started offering workshops with Erik Pena Salazar from Communication Synergie. I moved recently to Nanaimo and I am starting a training to engage in the certification process (The Center for Nonviolent Communication) with The Farthest Shore on Gabriola Island. <br />I feel so grateful about having NVC in my life that I want to share it with others. I have the deep conviction that the way we relate to ourselves and to each other is at the core of the type of violence we observe and perpetuate in the world. I think we need to make a deep change in the way we relate to ourselves, to each other and to the planet if we want to survive as a species on this planet. And I definitely want to be part of this change! I am combining my NVC work to nature connection and improvisation approaches.

It was the vulnerability and honesty of the teacher that showed me that we are all in this together - that we all go through the heartaches, and the joys, and the boredom. After a few years of practicing, I simply couldn\'t NOT teach others, because of how much I\'d learned and fallen in love with in the practice. I have done teacher trainings in Anusara, Ashtanga and Ayurvedic Yoga Therapy and have yet to cease wanting to keep learning more about this never ending field. When I teach, I think of what could help my students feel as good as their bodies were designed to feel...to remember how fantastic we\'re all meant to feel if we take care and pay attention. I like to remind the fellas I teach that they are quite possibly the most flexible guys in their entire family lineage, and to take that as a big pat on the back :) I like to encourage and motivate, and show people how remarkable they truly are.</p>\n<p>I have a 200 hour through ensure, and a 250 hour through ayurvedic yoga therapy and a 50 hour kundalini.

Her passion is cultivating authenticity in our experience by stepping out of habits and into personal empowerment. She shares Kundalini Yoga (the yoga of action), Hatha, Prenatal, Yin and Restorative Practices. She is the Founder of Manipura Yoga School and loves training Yoga Teachers to share their vision with the world. <em>“A human life is made up of choices. Yoga is mindfully connecting to those choices. Connecting to our truth, power, and worthiness. Connecting to our bodies, breath and life force. Connecting to how our habit energy works, and what it feels like when we rise above our habits into our true vibrant state. Yoga is a set of powerful technologies that support our journey to mindful connection, each day, each moment, and each breath. Even “when we don’t feel like it.” We have choices.

Aletheia is a Greek word meaning “Truth” and it refers to \"the state of not being hidden; the state of being evident.\" Through your own breath and willingness, you reveal your Self - a revealing that can have profound impact on your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well being.” Trevor Yelich, Aletheia Breathwork Facilitator Trainer</p>\n<p>As you lay down and connect your breath for one hour, Taiya will offer tools to help you stay present, to move energy and emotions. She will share positive affirmations, acupressure, Reiki energy healing and sound healing.

Like many others, she is also on a quest to connect to the core; to her truth. She believes that how we practice yoga, and what we come up against on the mat is our very own practice ground for real life.  Yoga keeps her humble, and hungry for more knowledge.  She teaches because she loves to share her own discoveries on her journey through this wonderful and messy life.    </p>\n<p>Nura has trained and mentored with Sanjeev Bhanot, Founder of Yogalife Foundation, and has completed the 200 hour yoga training at Kripalu Center in Massachusetts.  She is trained, certified and experienced in prenatal yoga and has done further studies in Core Strength Vinyasa, Anusara and Thai yoga massage.  She is also a Licensed and Board Certified Massage Therapist in New York and in the USA with over 1000 hours of training. Nura brings a unique set of skills to her yoga teaching from her background as a therapeutic massage therapist. She enjoys the interplay between yoga and massage work and draws from all her studies in her classes, workshops and trainings. Her yoga teaching is always infused with a strong foundation in anatomy and physiology.  She has been trained, over the past decade and a half, to see the movement and the freedom, as well as the tension and the blocks, in bodies.  </p></div>\n</div></div></div><div id=\"pgc-2066-16-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\"  data-weight=\"0.30443285528031\" ><div id=\"panel-2066-16-1-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-image panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"35\" data-style=\"{&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;}\" >[siteorigin_widget class=\"SiteOrigin_Widget_Image_Widget\"]<input type=\"hidden\" value=\"{&quot;instance&quot;:{&quot;image&quot;:2096,&quot;image_fallback&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;full&quot;,&quot;align&quot;:&quot;default&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;title_position&quot;:&quot;hidden&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;url&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;bound&quot;:true,&quot;_sow_form_id&quot;:&quot;59711ab97f411&quot;,&quot;_sow_form_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1500584657026&quot;,&quot;new_window&quot;:false,&quot;full_width&quot;:false},&quot;args&quot;:{&quot;before_widget&quot;:&quot;&lt;div id=\\&quot;panel-2066-16-1-0\\&quot; class=\\&quot;so-panel widget widget_sow-image panel-first-child panel-last-child\\&quot; data-index=\\&quot;35\\&quot; data-style=\\&quot;{&amp;quot;background_display&amp;quot;:&amp;quot;tile&amp;quot;}\\&quot; &gt;&quot;,&quot;after_widget&quot;:&quot;&lt;\\/div&gt;&quot;,&quot;before_title&quot;:&quot;&lt;h3 class=\\&quot;widget-title\\&quot;&gt;&quot;,&quot;after_title&quot;:&quot;&lt;\\/h3&gt;&quot;,&quot;widget_id&quot;:&quot;widget-16-1-0&quot;}}\" />[/siteorigin_widget]</div></div></div></div>', '200 Hours Yoga Teacher Training', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '2066-revision-v1', '', '', '2018-05-16 21:50:29', '2018-05-16 21:50:29', '', 2066, 'http://www.choose2be.ca/2066-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0);

To that end, she has envisioned a space that will serve to enrich the lives of its visitors, whether through yoga or through its many health-and-wellness-related workshops. </div></div>\n</div></div></div><div id=\"pgc-2517-5-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\"  data-weight=\"0.30573663624511\" ><div id=\"panel-2517-5-1-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-image panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"13\" data-style=\"{&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;}\" >[siteorigin_widget class=\"SiteOrigin_Widget_Image_Widget\"]<input type=\"hidden\" value=\"{&quot;instance&quot;:{&quot;image&quot;:2101,&quot;image_fallback&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;full&quot;,&quot;align&quot;:&quot;default&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;title_position&quot;:&quot;hidden&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;url&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;bound&quot;:true,&quot;_sow_form_id&quot;:&quot;59711c09d016e&quot;,&quot;_sow_form_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1500585272003&quot;,&quot;new_window&quot;:false,&quot;full_width&quot;:false},&quot;args&quot;:{&quot;before_widget&quot;:&quot;&lt;div id=\\&quot;panel-2517-5-1-0\\&quot; class=\\&quot;so-panel widget widget_sow-image panel-first-child panel-last-child\\&quot; data-index=\\&quot;13\\&quot; data-style=\\&quot;{&amp;quot;background_display&amp;quot;:&amp;quot;tile&amp;quot;}\\&quot; &gt;&quot;,&quot;after_widget&quot;:&quot;&lt;\\/div&gt;&quot;,&quot;before_title&quot;:&quot;&lt;h3 class=\\&quot;widget-title\\&quot;&gt;&quot;,&quot;after_title&quot;:&quot;&lt;\\/h3&gt;&quot;,&quot;widget_id&quot;:&quot;widget-5-1-0&quot;}}\" />[/siteorigin_widget]</div></div></div><div id=\"pg-2517-6\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\"  data-style=\"{&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;,&quot;cell_alignment&quot;:&quot;flex-start&quot;}\" ><div id=\"pgc-2517-6-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\"  data-weight=\"0.69426336375489\" ><div id=\"panel-2517-6-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"14\" data-style=\"{&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;}\" ><div class=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"><h3 class=\"widget-title\">Angelina McNamee: Yoga Methodology</h3>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n	<p>Sunday\'s April 8, 2018, 12:30 - 5:30 p.m.</p>\n<p class=\"paragraph_style_2\">About Angelina McNamee:</p>\n<p class=\"paragraph_style_2\">Angelina has several Bachelor degrees and a Master\'s in Education.

It is a process and a way of relating to each other that my parents have invited in our family since I was very little. I can see how much it has helped and still helps to nurture our relationships in my nuclear family of six people.<br />After reading and experiencing by my-self for many years, I joined a community and studied Nonviolent Communication for a in Montreal. Meanwhile, I started offering workshops with Erik Pena Salazar from Communication Synergie. I moved recently to Nanaimo and I am starting a training to engage in the certification process (The Center for Nonviolent Communication) with The Farthest Shore on Gabriola Island. <br />I feel so grateful about having NVC in my life that I want to share it with others. I have the deep conviction that the way we relate to ourselves and to each other is at the core of the type of violence we observe and perpetuate in the world. I think we need to make a deep change in the way we relate to ourselves, to each other and to the planet if we want to survive as a species on this planet. And I definitely want to be part of this change! I am combining my NVC work to nature connection and improvisation approaches.

It was the vulnerability and honesty of the teacher that showed me that we are all in this together - that we all go through the heartaches, and the joys, and the boredom. After a few years of practicing, I simply couldn\'t NOT teach others, because of how much I\'d learned and fallen in love with in the practice. I have done teacher trainings in Anusara, Ashtanga and Ayurvedic Yoga Therapy and have yet to cease wanting to keep learning more about this never ending field. When I teach, I think of what could help my students feel as good as their bodies were designed to feel...to remember how fantastic we\'re all meant to feel if we take care and pay attention. I like to remind the fellas I teach that they are quite possibly the most flexible guys in their entire family lineage, and to take that as a big pat on the back :) I like to encourage and motivate, and show people how remarkable they truly are.</p>\n<p>I have a 200 hour through ensure, and a 250 hour through ayurvedic yoga therapy and a 50 hour kundalini.

Her passion is cultivating authenticity in our experience by stepping out of habits and into personal empowerment. She shares Kundalini Yoga (the yoga of action), Hatha, Prenatal, Yin and Restorative Practices. She is the Founder of Manipura Yoga School and loves training Yoga Teachers to share their vision with the world. <em>“A human life is made up of choices. Yoga is mindfully connecting to those choices. Connecting to our truth, power, and worthiness. Connecting to our bodies, breath and life force. Connecting to how our habit energy works, and what it feels like when we rise above our habits into our true vibrant state. Yoga is a set of powerful technologies that support our journey to mindful connection, each day, each moment, and each breath. Even “when we don’t feel like it.” We have choices.

Aletheia is a Greek word meaning “Truth” and it refers to \"the state of not being hidden; the state of being evident.\" Through your own breath and willingness, you reveal your Self - a revealing that can have profound impact on your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well being.” Trevor Yelich, Aletheia Breathwork Facilitator Trainer</p>\n<p>As you lay down and connect your breath for one hour, Taiya will offer tools to help you stay present, to move energy and emotions. She will share positive affirmations, acupressure, Reiki energy healing and sound healing.

Like many others, she is also on a quest to connect to the core; to her truth. She believes that how we practice yoga, and what we come up against on the mat is our very own practice ground for real life.  Yoga keeps her humble, and hungry for more knowledge.  She teaches because she loves to share her own discoveries on her journey through this wonderful and messy life.    </p>\n<p>Nura has trained and mentored with Sanjeev Bhanot, Founder of Yogalife Foundation, and has completed the 200 hour yoga training at Kripalu Center in Massachusetts.  She is trained, certified and experienced in prenatal yoga and has done further studies in Core Strength Vinyasa, Anusara and Thai yoga massage.  She is also a Licensed and Board Certified Massage Therapist in New York and in the USA with over 1000 hours of training. Nura brings a unique set of skills to her yoga teaching from her background as a therapeutic massage therapist. She enjoys the interplay between yoga and massage work and draws from all her studies in her classes, workshops and trainings. Her yoga teaching is always infused with a strong foundation in anatomy and physiology.  She has been trained, over the past decade and a half, to see the movement and the freedom, as well as the tension and the blocks, in bodies.  </p></div>\n</div></div></div><div id=\"pgc-2517-16-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\"  data-weight=\"0.30443285528031\" ><div id=\"panel-2517-16-1-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-image panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"35\" data-style=\"{&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;}\" >[siteorigin_widget class=\"SiteOrigin_Widget_Image_Widget\"]<input type=\"hidden\" value=\"{&quot;instance&quot;:{&quot;image&quot;:2096,&quot;image_fallback&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;full&quot;,&quot;align&quot;:&quot;default&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;title_position&quot;:&quot;hidden&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;url&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;bound&quot;:true,&quot;_sow_form_id&quot;:&quot;59711ab97f411&quot;,&quot;_sow_form_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1500584657026&quot;,&quot;new_window&quot;:false,&quot;full_width&quot;:false},&quot;args&quot;:{&quot;before_widget&quot;:&quot;&lt;div id=\\&quot;panel-2517-16-1-0\\&quot; class=\\&quot;so-panel widget widget_sow-image panel-first-child panel-last-child\\&quot; data-index=\\&quot;35\\&quot; data-style=\\&quot;{&amp;quot;background_display&amp;quot;:&amp;quot;tile&amp;quot;}\\&quot; &gt;&quot;,&quot;after_widget&quot;:&quot;&lt;\\/div&gt;&quot;,&quot;before_title&quot;:&quot;&lt;h3 class=\\&quot;widget-title\\&quot;&gt;&quot;,&quot;after_title&quot;:&quot;&lt;\\/h3&gt;&quot;,&quot;widget_id&quot;:&quot;widget-16-1-0&quot;}}\" />[/siteorigin_widget]</div></div></div></div>', '200 Hours Yoga Teacher Training', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '2066-revision-v1', '', '', '2018-05-16 21:50:29', '2018-05-16 21:50:29', '', 2066, 'http://www.choose2be.ca/2066-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0);

It has </span>been a really rich and amazing journey in so many different ways.\r\n\r\nPart of the participants homework was to write an essay on the topic of their choice and they were aware that I would be posting it on my website. We also did an exercise in the first weekend to create a life affirmation and core desire feeling , I also invited them to share it with us. <a name=\"_GoBack\"></a>I am so humbled and touched that I got to support these amazing beings on part of their journey and I am looking forward to witness how life unfolds for them.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Courtney Lynn Harder</strong>\r\n<strong>My affirmation:</strong> I am the cottoncandy-like cloud whose confidence and elegance dances in the night sky.\r\n<strong>Core desire feelings</strong>: expressive, mesmerizing, vivacious.</p>\r\nBeing 19 years old, there’s a lot I could say I’d like to deepen in my practice. Week 6 of this program has sparked my curiosity in Kundalini yoga and Tantra yoga and I would in the future maybe attend some classes. In addition to this program I might possibly even look into online modules on those. I also mentioned to everyone that I was thinking about teaching prenatal yoga. I have looked into online teacher training for that and, in addition to this program, was thinking of doing that.\r\nA few weeks ago, it was mentioned that working on your physical voice helps with confidence and such. There are some voice exercises and things theatre actors do that I’ve made note of in the manual. My boyfriend and I are planning to do some of those together (he’s an actor and director). There’s also some that he wants to show me that he learned over the years he’s been in theatre. I’d love to also do my yoga and meditation with him. But finding the time and space is difficult. We need to move out of our parents’ places first (aiming to this summer) and then we can have our own place with a sacred space for meditating, and decorate that with Buddha and singing bowls and crystals.\r\nAnother thing I\'d also love to deepen in my practice that maybe isn’t so much yoga is my witchyness/psychic abilities. We haven\'t touched on this in class much but all things paranormal are so amazing to me and in order to experience that more I’m working on being open and not afraid. Fear is usually what stops us from seeing our spirit guides and spirits of love and light because they know when you’re afraid and they don’t wish to scare you. If a spirit hangs around and you’re afraid, it most likely isn’t one of love and light. But ya, I am extremely and forever fascinated by witchcraft and all things paranormal.\r\nIn conclusion, that is a glimpse of where I could see my practice going. I’ve met so many amazing people throughout this program.

The purpose of Eastern medicine is to cure ailments by strengthening the body’s natural capacity to heal itself. In contrast to this methodology, there are also faucets of Western medicine that aim to achieve the same objectives. However, one of the most significant differences between Eastern medicine and Western medicine is Western medicine focuses on the maladies of the body, which are analyzed through the scientific method. Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, or SARS, was a disease that claimed over 700 lives but was eliminated in 2003 by containment methods. Smallpox is another disease that was eliminated through vaccination. Though these diseases are different from each other, they help illustrate Western medicine’s method of combating what is wrong with the body. On the other hand, Eastern medicine seeks to propel the body to a more balanced level of health that will fight off illness on its own power. By focusing on the body, Eastern medicine plays a better role in fighting diseases that Western medicine might not able to analyze, identify, or combat. By raising overall health, it’s also possible to fight off several ailments at once. Eastern medicine has proven to be an effective tool in fighting ailments such as arthritis, hypertension, and hormonal imbalances.</p>\r\n<p class=\"p2\">A foundation of Eastern medicinal philosophy is the conviction that all things in the universe are connected. Changes to our environment will have an effect on our body’s level of health. These connections are comprised of both external forces as well as internal forces in the body and mind. For example, weather and climactic patterns like humidity can have an effect on a person’s level of health. Inner forces such as one’s state of emotion also play a role in determining level of health. The connection between these forces in a multitude of <span class=\"s1\">3 YOGA’S FAR EASTERN CONNECTION </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p2\">imbalances is what creates chaos in the body that require adjustment. As we will see later, yin and yang forces play a central role to Eastern medicine.</p>\r\n<p class=\"p2\">To expand on emotional states, Eastern philosophy dictates that levels of happiness, anger, sadness, worry, and fear all play significant roles in regulating body and mind. Control over our emotional state is necessary in order to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Though this might seem apparent for most observers, Eastern medicine links particular emotional states to parts of the body. Happiness is related to our heart, anger to our liver, sadness to lungs, worry to spleen, and fear to kidneys. If one of these emotions becomes unstable or excessive, it will have a reverberating effect on its linked body part. For example, one might believe there could be no such thing as being too happy. However, Eastern medicine cautions that too little control over our happiness can be a contributing cause of muscle spasms brought on by heart strain.</p>\r\n<p class=\"p2\">There are three fundamental factors that are intertwined with each other. These factors are called ketsu, sui, and ki. Ketsu means blood, it’s similar to Western medicine’s definition in that it passes nutrients and oxygen throughout the body. Sui means body fluids to which there are two, water and the mucous membrane that covers our internal organs. Ki, which is related to ketsu, brings energy to our body. A good balance of ketsu, sui, and ki means a healthy body but perhaps of the three, ki is the most important. Unlike the preceding two factors, ki is something that cannot be seen but only observed. Ki is considered a cosmic force because everything in the universe is comprised of energy, from a leaf-eating caterpillar to the farthest quasar. Ki is in a state of constant flux, it is not static or immune to change. Changes in ki can be observed, perhaps most easily through nature like weather or natural disasters. Like <span class=\"s1\">4 YOGA’S FAR EASTERN CONNECTION </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p2\">nature, so too do our bodies experience change and shifts. The ki within our body is shaped in a way that allows us movement, organic function, and emotion.</p>\r\n<p class=\"p2\">Ki is often depicted as channels or lines that run throughout our body. These lines will have particular points where flow and level can be adjusted. There are also various nexus points where lines intersect with each other. The critical points in the body are called keiketsu and the channel “lines” that connect keiketsu points are called keiraku. As you might have guessed, keiketsu and keiraku are fundamental components in acupuncture therapy. Acupuncture is an ancient method of pain relief that has roots dating back to the stone age. In its early conception, rocks were used as pressure points to innervate the body and help relieve pain. From here, developments such as moxibustion took place later to aid in healing.</p>\r\n<p class=\"p2\">Networks of areas in the body developed over time and were named acupuncture meridians, or just meridians. Examples of some meridians are the Stomach Meridian, Bladder Meridian and Kidney Meridian. The size and structure for each meridian varies and the total number of meridians are quite numerous. However, there are 14 meridians that are considered the most important to the body’s overall health.</p>\r\n<p class=\"p2\">Yoga and meridians share a close relationship with meridians benefiting from yoga through exercise and stimulation. For example, the bladder meridian concerns those who suffer from back pain involving the sciatic nerve, eye sore, headaches, nosebleeds, and hemorrhoids. The bladder meridian encompasses a large area of the body, running from the inner corner of the eyes and ending in the baby toes of the feet. This pathway ascends up through the head and down the spine, it also passes along the hamstrings and calf muscles. <span class=\"s1\">5 YOGA’S FAR EASTERN CONNECTION </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p2\">Yoga poses that help the bladder meridian are Uttanasana (Standing Forward Bend), Halasana (Plow Pose), Paschimothanasana (Sitting Froward Bend), Bhujangasana (Cobra Pose), and Ustrasana (Camel Pose). These poses will help those who suffer from the aforementioned pain. Practicing yoga poses and drawing in deep breaths stimulate keiraku and help the healing process. When practicing yoga, it’s important to take in deep breaths so we may open our energy pathway.</p>\r\n<p class=\"p2\">The study of medical science and health is ancient and intertwined. Disciplines such as yoga, acupuncture, and Eastern medicine have influenced one another throughout the ages and helped each other develop into powerful tools that enrich health and well-being. To fully understand one of these arts, one would need to spend time researching the associations that contributed to its current state. Ki and Prana have similar roots, or at the very least early influences as both originated from the same region. Understanding the parallels between concepts such as this help elevate us to a higher level of yoga. <span class=\"s1\">6 YOGA’S FAR EASTERN CONNECTION </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p2\"><b>References </b></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Onokoro, S.

Like anything else one just\r\ndoes... but there is a choice.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>One can either identify with the grief or </em><em>learn to let go and</em>\r\n<em> accept the impermanence of life. </em></h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Neither is without its challenges, but identifying with grief creates greater and prolonged suffering. Little did I know, that embarking on a daily at home yoga asana practice to stay in shape as a housebound 24/7 caregiver, <strong>I would find myself on a spiritual journey leading to empowerment.</strong></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">My history with Hatha Yoga goes back forty years, with more off years than on. The\r\nbasic once a week classes at university and later the local rec centre, plus a variety of\r\nbooks, including pre-natal yoga during my mothering years were the extent of my\r\npractice. Aerobics videos, followed by a gym membership in more recent years, kept me\r\nreasonably happy with my body. Though once I retired, with a body exhausted by\r\nstress, a mind tormented by worry and a spirit overwhelmed with a sense of impending\r\nloss, I started rather unsuccessfully back on my mat. Thankfully, a friend mentioned the\r\nhost of yoga videos on You Tube and it didn’t take long before I found my teacher. An\r\ndelightful young woman in Austin Texas, Adriene Mishler. After learning to navigate her\r\nchannel “Yoga with Adriene”, I discovered her first 30 day challenge. Thirty days turned\r\ninto ten weeks and by four months I had cultivated a solid daily yoga habit.\r\nOn Day 21, of the thirty day challenge, after Shavasana I sat on my mat and meditated\r\nfor 20 minutes because it just felt right. I have practiced meditation sporadically over the\r\nyears, having trained in Transcendental Meditation in the early 70’s. I had also heard of\r\nVipassana Meditation from a variety of people, and decided to read Wm Hart’s book\r\n“The Art of Living: Vipassana Meditation as taught by S.N. Goenka”. This work along\r\nwith books by Pema Chodron and Thich Nhat Hanh resonated with my personal beliefs,\r\nintroducing me to Buddhist philosophy and so began my spiritual journey.</p>\r\n\r\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">I had no prior knowledge of the ‘Eight Limbs of Yoga’, but one by one, the principles of a balanced practice found me. Each one having a specific role to play, enabling me to let go of grief and sadness and find contentment in equanimity.</h4>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Five months into this journey I went on a restorative and inspiring weekend yoga retreat\r\nat the Salt Spring Yoga Centre. Here was my introduction to Pranayama (breathing). I\r\nwasn’t convinced, in fact interestingly I felt some resistance to it. I went there again after\r\nI’d been practicing asanas and meditation for a full year. During that subsequent retreat,\r\nI found I was more open to the pranayama practice, probably because I had learned in\r\nthe interim to work with my breath in the poses. However, other than these two retreats,\r\nI continued to practice in isolation and was struggling emotionally to look after my\r\nhusband who was in decline. Fortunately, I had the loving support of my two sisters,\r\nfamily and dear friends, as well as my daily yoga and meditation practice to nourish me.\r\nAs I watched the vitality drain from my loved one, I saw the miracle that is life with\r\ngreater clarity. Never a day went by without taking a deep breath of gratitude and saying\r\n<strong>“I’M ALIVE!”</strong></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Then I stumbled upon the Yoga Sutras in Stephen Cope’s book “The Wisdom of Yoga: A\r\nSeekers Guide to Extraordinary Living”. When I read “Struggle changes an ordinary\r\nhuman into a spiritually awake person” (p.11), I realized that was happening to me. I\r\nhad experienced what he meant when he defined Asana as “ The immoveable spot from\r\nwhich to explore and to witness the still point in the centre of sensations.” (p.196) The\r\nbook was challenging for a beginner, but it left me wanting more.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">At this point my husband needed constant care and I was receiving a few hours of\r\nrespite most days. Along with my daily yoga and meditation I was now spending more\r\ntime every day in Nature, out walking with our two dogs. Eventually he required full\r\nnursing care and moved to a care home. The transition back to being his wife, rather\r\nthan his nurse was good for both of us. Although, it actually took a few months of\r\nintense self care to regain my energy. Once I had greater freedom and more time for\r\nmyself, I was able to try out a few yoga classes and read more philosophy, but I was still\r\nin coping mode. My time was spent visiting him every other day and losing myself in\r\ndistractions, always keeping busy. What I needed was a Meditation Retreat. I found one\r\nclose to home, a two day outdoor retreat with a focus on Nature and Impermanence.\r\nDuring the retreat which I shared with one of my sisters, I felt myself letting go and\r\nopening. I learned a lot about myself in those two days. Sarah Sinray, the facilitator/\r\ncounsellor from Enliven Counselling, is an amazing young woman who practices Insight\r\nMeditation (Vipassana). After that weekend, we both signed up for her 6 week class in\r\nthe Fall.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">As my meditation practice deepened, I found myself more and more absorbed in the\r\nnow, in a place of stillness away from distraction, aversion or clinging. <strong>In continuing to</strong>\r\n<strong> discipline my body, I was also disciplining my mind and finding equanimity.</strong> I was less at\r\nthe whims of my emotions. I have always had an innate desire to do yoga with my eyes\r\nclosed, not really realizing that mental focus would be a natural consequence. As I\r\nlearned how to soften and ease into strenuous postures I learned how to do the same\r\nwith my mind. Without knowing it, I was practicing Pratyahara (mental relaxation),\r\nDharana (concentration) and the Niyama of Swadhyaya (contemplation), observing\r\nthoughts and feelings without attachment or judgment within Dhyana (meditation). I was\r\nready to learn more and deepen my understanding of what I was experiencing. I was\r\nconsidering doing my Yoga Teacher Training at the Salt Spring Yoga Centre and so\r\nreturned there for another retreat in September with my daughter. Thus I was in a place\r\nof equanimity when later that week, my husband died. I was already so very grateful for\r\nall the life lessons that he had shared with me during our long goodbye.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">I had learned what it means to die while still being alive. I had lost my old reality, undergone a difficult\r\ntransformation and discovered that all that was left is ‘The Now’. I had learned it was\r\nnecessary to relax and accept whatever came next, and not be a slave to anxiety.\r\nPerfect timing for the six week Insight Mindfulness Meditation for Inner Calm Workshop\r\nwith my sister that started a few weeks later. I was ready and able to surrender myself\r\nto meditating, and the last of the Eight Limbs, Samadhi (the Divine within) found me.\r\nOver these past five months I’ve been reading more Buddhist philosophy. Learning to\r\n“seek without seeking” and being open to remembering with my unconscious mind. I\r\nhave fallen in love with Life and have an abundance of gratitude for everything that has\r\nbrought me to this point. Self-pity is long gone and sadness arises fleetingly. From this\r\nloss I am creating my world with a light heart. This new perspective reminds me that\r\ngrasping is futile and that Impermanence is not just about loss, but also about newness\r\nand the creative process open in each moment. What a journey it has been! Such a\r\nprofound period of growth in self-understanding and understanding our common\r\nhumanity. So many layers have been stripped away. I am grounded, grateful for being\r\nme and accept that I am enough. I feel in flow with life and have greater patience to just\r\nlet things unfold.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">After this past winter of contemplation, self-compassion and self-care I felt capable of\r\ntaking on the 200 hours of YTT. My profound desire was to deepen my daily yoga\r\npractice and connect with others who share a passion for yoga. This course surpassed\r\nmy expectations. The very capable and compassionate lead instructor Veronique Rioux,\r\nthe cohort of six inspiring younger women and the dedicated guest yoga instructors with\r\ntheir passions for anatomy, philosophy, meditation and more, have forever enriched my\r\nlife.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Why will I continue to practice? The physical body is the vehicle for experiencing this\r\nworld and waking up to what is Life. Hatha Yoga builds openness and acceptance to\r\nany situation, person or emotion. It’s about finding both physical and mental balance;\r\nrelaxing when you’re being too rigid or persisting with grace.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">On this yogic journey I found the equanimity to accept death as part of life, mine or anyone else’s. I also found empowerment, having greater discipline over my physical body, energy and mind state.\r\nAs for the future, I will continue to study Buddhist philosophy and practice each of the\r\n‘Eight Limbs of Yoga’, as I dedicate my practice to benefit others</p>', 'Grief to Empowerment: A Personal Yogic Journey', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '2508-revision-v1', '', '', '2018-05-18 04:21:40', '2018-05-18 04:21:40', '', 2508, 'http://www.choose2be.ca/2508-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0),

Turning off for a moment to clear your mind. How often we are so busy checking other people’s “status updates” that we forget to check into ourselves. We remember to check-in on Facebook but ignore the signals our body and mind provide so intuitively. We have the answers we seek, if only we take the time to listen.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><i>“Sitting still is an opportunity to break the habitual cycle that has us continually running away from the slightest discomfort and seeking pleasure outside of ourselves. To sit still, no matter what, is not how we usually react to an uncomforatble situation. Yet if we try it, we venture deeper into ourselves, exploring our potential. We will come closer to the source of happiness.”</i></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><i> -Jivamukti Yoga, Book </i></p>\r\nThere are certainly specific methods to follow? There are many books on “how to,” How do I sit? Where do I sit? What do I sit on? Why bother at all? STOP! Stop everything you are doing and thinking for just a moment of concetrated focus on your breath, on your mind, controlling it rather than reacting to it; you are the one in control and can simply take a break.\r\n\r\nTwenty years ago I was given a book on meditation called “Meditation for Dummies” chapter one reads, “What meditation is and isn’t” and had I read the whole book back then maybe I would have had a daily practice sooner? Although the journey of the pasty twenty years has lead to my current practice of 6 days a week. Combining asana and meditation I now direct my health rather than being dictated by it. I promise you it took me more than reading, I found that receiving instruction first in private and in a group setting to be the key which unlocked my abiltity to “take a break” when I need to, controlling the urge to react or judge a circumstance as “good” or bad” instead remaining equanimous and calm.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><i>“Where motion ceases,” the Master said, “God begins.” </i></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><i>-Paramhansa Yogananda on Meditation </i></p>\r\n<a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/IMG_8652-e1526683721360.jpg\"><img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2535\" src=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/IMG_8652-e1526683721360-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"Yoga teacher Training, Yoga Teacher Training Nanaimo, Nanaimo, YTT, 200 hours YTT, 200 hours YTT Nanaimo, YTT Nanaimo, VIU, Vancouver Island University, Yoga Nanaimo, Yoga, Training, Training Nanaimo, Yoga Certification, Yoga Certification Nanaimo, Vinyasa Yoga, Vinyasa Yoga Nanaimo, Yin Yoga Nanaimo, Bootcamp Nanaimo, Personal Training Nanaimo, Personal Trainer Nanaimo, Bootcamp Nanaimo, Fitness class Nanaimo, Health Nanaimo, Nutrition Nanaimo, Wellness Nanaimo, Workout Nanaimo, Sculpt Nanaimo Can Fit Pro Certification, Fitness Instructor Specialist, Pro Trainer Nanaimo, Pro Trainer, Experience Yoga Instructor, Experience Yoga Teacher, Experience Yoga Instructor Nanaimo, Experience Yoga teacher Nanaimo\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" /></a>To sustain balance, I allow myself time to attune to mind, body and spirit through meditation which gives me the break I need, when I need it, where I need it, no matter what I am sitting on, and becuase I get to stop everything, I get clear, it’s really like hitting the refresh button on your browser, just clear your history and start fresh.\r\n\r\n<i>“Balanced sailing, weathers all storms.”</i>\r\n\r\n<i> -Coach Danica</i>\r\n\r\n<i>Namaste</i>\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n<div><a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/nanaimo-group-fitness-testimonial/\">Check out Danica testimonial</a>.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div></div>', '200  hours Yoga Teacher Training homework essay from coach Danica', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'yoga-break', '', '', '2018-05-25 21:05:19', '2018-05-25 21:05:19', '', 0, 'http://www.choose2be.ca/?p=2532', 0, 'post', '', 0),

There’s an element of magicalness, of conscious purpose and a bigger picture awareness that those subjects bring to the table, and it makes me really excited to see how a paradigm shift could occur through such understanding.\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Yoga is really the science of consciousness and energy.</h3>\r\nOn the surface it’s one philosophy for how to live life in the best possible way, put into physical directions that most can understand: healthy movement, breathing, concentration, meditation, self-reflection, ethical do’s and don’ts, and calming of the physical senses. These practices lead to what is called Samadhi – self-realization, inner wisdom, and a feeling of blissfulness as you achieve freedom from the constraints of the material world. It’s at this level that the philosophy deep dives into more esoteric concepts – what exactly is freedom from the material world, how is that even possible? What is ‘union with divine consciousness’? What is an ‘energy body’, and chakras, really? It often sounds far out, quite magical, and impossible to fully understand… unless we are able to see these concepts from a different perspective. Our YTT manual notes “<strong><em>The Ancient Mystics of most cultures have always considered our perceived ‘reality’ to be a mere appearance. Understanding the energy from which the apparent forms were made was the goal of life, and brought the student to a state of enLIGHTenment</em>.</strong>”\r\n\r\nIt seems that beneath the physical guiding practices of yoga (or the Bible, the Koran, even Feng Shui, but that’s for another essay!) is a philosophy that can be described by the findings of modern science. Quantum physics is the study of nature at the atomic and subatomic levels. Through the classic Double Slit experiment, scientists realized that a light particle (photon) can also be a wave; it depends on whether an element of measurement (consciousness) is involved. If we do not apply our consciousness and observe the particle, it exists in a wave format; in an energy field of possibility. Does this sound familiar? A little mind blowing?<strong> It means that our whole physical reality is only made ‘real’, because of our perspective.</strong> Every little bit of us and our world is made up of an ‘undulating wave-like cloud’ of possible ways the little bits of subatomic matter can show up. Consciousness changes energy from a wave form (a possibility), to a particle form, which translates into a reality in our physical dimension. From a bigger perspective, this means that we essentially create what we call ‘real’, here in this earthly experience, just by having consciousness; because we have consciousness, we can become aware, aware enough to direct energy and use it to create our reality.\r\nEpigenetics too has contributed to my understanding of how I create my reality out of the energy field of possibilities. This science is the ‘study of biological mechanisms that will switch genes on and off\', (gene expression) without changing the genetic code (DNA). Recent studies have found that a main influence for how a gene expresses itself is not heritage or genetics; and not even environment, food, or exercise; instead it’s your perspective, your beliefs ABOUT those things that affect whether the gene turns on or off. Perhaps the famous quote attributed to Ghandi will have new meaning for you in the light of epigenetics:\r\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">\"Your beliefs become your thoughts. Your thoughts become your words. Your words become your actions. Your actions become your habits. Your habits become your values. Your values become your destiny.\"</h4>\r\nNow look at yoga philosophy which says that our mind is not influenced by the energy flow we exist in, but that it the energy flow, which is a controllable [and measurable] energy! In our body and mind, our thoughts create emotions, which feed further thoughts, and create our outlook (perspective) and then actions (and more often reactions). Inside the body, emotions are understood in the language of hormones and neurotransmitters, and guess what – they all have a vibrating frequency signature.\r\n\r\nTada! – this is thought and perspective as measured in the physical world. Thus one of the goals of yoga is to consciously direct vibrations of thought, and thus our experience; this is accomplished through the practices of yoga as previously mentioned. It’s a way we can rise above the perspective of physical constraints and realize truth – that we are made up of energy, directed by consciousness. Perhaps that is how we are all ‘connected’ – through a singular consciousness.\r\nFor me, the practices and goals of yoga seem to make more sense once I understand them in the light of the above sciences; sciences that now have a magicalness to them. For example, the idea that our 7 Chakra acts as a space-time prism through which the energies separate into various frequencies, manifesting material life forms. <strong>I would call the prism our consciousness</strong>. And if consciousness is really creating our physical world, perhaps consciousness is what we are. A conscious life form having an earthly experience - an experience that isn’t technically ‘real’ according to the energy perspective, as all matter is just vibrating energy - but all the same, a worthwhile and educating experience.So instead of buying into the fully physical perspective, which really can seem purposeless and dreary at times, I like to remember the tenets of epigenetics and quantum physics that in my opinion are behind the philosophy of Yoga. For me, together they provide a perspective that can ‘restore to us that colourful and magical view of life… [as] Yoga tunes us back into the energy world from which we came.”\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/21686289_10105005827997532_2951250299887068334_n.jpg\"><img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2589\" src=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/21686289_10105005827997532_2951250299887068334_n-251x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"251\" height=\"300\" /></a> <a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/10501877_10152734295821055_8677201775795141281_n.jpg\"><img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2590\" src=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/10501877_10152734295821055_8677201775795141281_n-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"Yoga teacher Training, Yoga Teacher Training Nanaimo, Nanaimo, YTT, 200 hours YTT, 200 hours YTT Nanaimo, YTT Nanaimo, VIU, Vancouver Island University, Yoga Nanaimo, Yoga, Training, Training Nanaimo, Yoga Certification, Yoga Certification Nanaimo, Vinyasa Yoga, Vinyasa Yoga Nanaimo, Yin Yoga Nanaimo, Bootcamp Nanaimo, Personal Training Nanaimo, Personal Trainer Nanaimo, Bootcamp Nanaimo, Fitness class Nanaimo, Health Nanaimo, Nutrition Nanaimo, Wellness Nanaimo, Workout Nanaimo, Sculpt Nanaimo Can Fit Pro Certification, Fitness Instructor Specialist, Pro Trainer Nanaimo, Pro Trainer, Experience Yoga Instructor, Experience Yoga Teacher, Experience Yoga Instructor Nanaimo, Experience Yoga teacher Nanaimo\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n\r\n1.

At 28, I was still doing pretty much the same thing; my parents had long ago given up telling me to “take it easy.” I spent most of my life spinning wildly out of control… so it wasn’t too surprising when I had a snowboarding accident and sustained major injuries which left me with severe chronic pain.</p>\r\nIt’s been just over two years now and I still live with that accident every single day. I began my <a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/yoga-teacher-training-certification/\">Yoga Teacher Training journey</a> to gain back fluid movement in my body and to find empowering techniques for pain management. I will continue this path of training so I can help others navigate the journey through pain. I understand the desperation that arises from chronic pain and the exhaustion from trying to learn the limits of a new, unfamiliar body. Daily living tasks become unbearable, social isolation ensues and the thought of any physical activity is overwhelming. It’s challenging to gauge your edge when you’ve been desensitized with a hyperactive nervous system and the pathways of pain are constantly firing. Less is more – an idea completely foreign to me until now.\r\n\r\nIt’s overwhelming when you first realize your body is no longer capable of doing everything you want it to. The key for using yoga as a tool for pain relief is to accept that it won’t “heal you” or necessarily take away your pain but it will equip you with empowering tools to embrace the way you handle the pain. <strong>Yoga strengthens the mind-body-spirit connection.</strong> You reteach your brain that movement is safe and accept the importance of deep breathing. The benefits of oxygen are so tantalizingly available yet when we’re in pain, breathing becomes superficial and we loose the healing power that oxygen provides. Relaxation techniques (tapping, breathing, meditating) help calm a tense, rigid body so that the body gets a chance to do what it does naturally, heal.\r\n\r\nI’ve had my whole life taken over by pain and <strong>I’m just now able to move into a place of acceptance and understanding</strong>. It takes time. Sometimes we go through really rough times and when we come out of it, we’re wiser and more empathetic towards others. I’ve learned more in the past two years than I thought possible and I would love to connect with others on their healing path.

As a society we have grown accustom to fully accepting and trusting this type of care. There is a lack of education, funding and options for alternatives. At twenty-eight years old I have experienced multiple adverse side effects from taking prescription drugs. With a near death experience, these drugs have tested my mind, body, and spirit. From a place of nightmares I have entered enlightening and awakening states. But before I get to that I will begin this recollection with my pre-prescription drug period, at the young age of sixteen.\r\n\r\nOn top of a large hill covered in blooming wildflowers overlooking an expansive range of forests, with the Rocky Mountains as a backdrop, I found my place of solitude for spiritual exploration. Located in front of my family home, I would run up the hiking trail to this scared spot and engage in my own free flow of yoga and meditation. I never received any training and this was a time before the explosion of social media so the asana and mediation techniques truly came from within. I remember entering into such deep meditation that I was able to float above my body and be able to observe this sacred location from a bird’s-eye view. I remember engaging in this intuitive yoga practice up until the age of seventeen, when I fell into a serious relationship. My focus for ten years was on this relationship and I lost my practice. My spiritual journey took a turn from this yoga practice to an unexpected form of enlightenment through a prescription drug reaction.\r\n\r\nI was nineteen years old packing for a backpacking trip to Nicaragua. I was going to meet my cousin then spend the rest of the trip on my own, which was a big deal at the time because I had spent the last two years in a serious relationship. I visited a travel clinic to prepare for the trip, I received medication for any cases of diarrhea and the anti malaria drug, Novo-Chloroquine. I was required to take the anti malaria drug once a week, two weeks before the trip. I had left my packing to the last minute, so I quickly glanced over the prescription pill directions (which happened to be the ones for diarrhea) and ended up taking two pills for two weeks. I started to notice myself go crazy the night after New Years Eve, one day before my flight.\r\n\r\nAfter staying up late at a New Years Eve party drinking wine with friends I found myself unable to sleep. I thought it could have just been from drinking and decided I could live with just one sleepless night. The next night when I closed my eyes to sleep I began noticing flashing lights. After an hour or two of trying to sleep through the lights flashing I started to hear voices… telling me, “you have been reborn.” This is when I felt a sense of panic and woke up parents. At first we wondered if someone could have slipped a drug in my drink at the New Years Party because there was some recreational drug use, but it was highly unlikely since they were all close friends. My mom then asked me what I was taking for my trip. I showed her my prescriptions and when she found out I mixed up my dose she called her sister who is a doctor. My aunt knew about the psychotic side effects from anti malaria pills and said I had overdosed and needed to go to the hospital.\r\n\r\nI remember the sinking moment at the hospital when the doctor told me it would take a month for the drug to leave my system. Which meant instead of a trip I would be going through a month of flashing lights when I closed my eyes, hearing voices, and the possibility of things getting worst. I was given a strong sedative to help me sleep and sent home. At the time I was living with my boyfriend, but with the state I was in I moved back into my parents home. That night the sedative did not work. I went through multiple prescriptions for sleep that included anti psychotics. After days of no sleep and being on a variety of drugs I entered into a zombie state. I began hallucinating shadow figures and hearing loud crashing noises. My weight dropped to ninety pounds very rapidly and I lost the ability to drive or wright. I began noticing my senses heightening, my vision sharpened and I could hear sounds coming from the other side of the house.\r\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">With the inability to sleep and my brain function heightened I became a prisoner trapped in my own mind. This is where my spiritual journey truly began.</h4>\r\n<a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Screen-Shot-2018-05-21-at-8.55.41-AM.png\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-2546 alignright\" src=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Screen-Shot-2018-05-21-at-8.55.41-AM-279x300.png\" alt=\"Yoga teacher Training, Yoga Teacher Training Nanaimo, Nanaimo, YTT, 200 hours YTT, 200 hours YTT Nanaimo, YTT Nanaimo, VIU, Vancouver Island University, Yoga Nanaimo, Yoga, Training, Training Nanaimo, Yoga Certification, Yoga Certification Nanaimo, Vinyasa Yoga, Vinyasa Yoga Nanaimo, Yin Yoga Nanaimo, Bootcamp Nanaimo, Personal Training Nanaimo, Personal Trainer Nanaimo, Bootcamp Nanaimo, Fitness class Nanaimo, Health Nanaimo, Nutrition Nanaimo, Wellness Nanaimo, Workout Nanaimo, Sculpt Nanaimo Can Fit Pro Certification, Fitness Instructor Specialist, Pro Trainer Nanaimo, Pro Trainer, Experience Yoga Instructor, Experience Yoga Teacher, Experience Yoga Instructor Nanaimo, Experience Yoga teacher Nanaimo\" width=\"279\" height=\"300\" /></a>I spent a lot of my life being very critical of myself and developed a condition later diagnosed as body dysmorphia disorder. I had conditioned myself to hate everything about my body and mind. Trapped in my thoughts for days without sleep I began digging deep into my past. I began going back to my childhood to nurture the little girl I had grown to hate. I held her hand and went into every memory of doing harm to others and forgave myself. I then went to every memory of harming myself, even with a thought and forgave myself. I let go of a thick build up of layers that weighed me down mentally and began to feel free. I went through a total of eight days on sedatives with no sleep to enter into a state of enlightenment.\r\n\r\nOn the eighth day of no sleep and going through the process of letting go of a lifetime of negative thinking I entered a blissful state. In the middle of the night I went into the bathroom to sit in front of the mirror. When I looked into the mirror I saw a beautiful angelic figure, my whole body was glowing and I felt a burst of joy run through my body. Then I could hear a voice from above say, “you have done what you needed to do in this life and are ready to move on.” I had this overwhelming urge to completely let go and enter a new stage of life. Then the voice made it clear to me that if I agreed to pass on I would be leaving my parents with my body. It was incredibly hard not to fall into the state of pure bliss, but I could not leave my body behind in that state knowing the harm I would do to my loved ones. At that moment I woke up my parents and told them I needed to go to the hospital.\r\n\r\nWe quickly rushed to the hospital, I remember seeing myself turn blue as I glanced at my reflection in the side mirror, and I felt myself fading. When we arrived at the hospital, they assumed from my appearance and mental state that I was on Crystal Meth. My heart started shutting down and they needed to resuscitate me. I remember seeing my parents shocked faces and fought to stay alive. I had made the choice to stay and was able to stabilize and go home that day. I finally got some sleep and slowly began noticing the side effects beginning to subside. After a month I finally began to function normally again, however I experienced long-term effects of sleep anxiety.\r\n\r\nThis drug reaction had a profound effect on my life. As I returned to my normal state, I began to build those layers of insecurities up again. Over the next nine years I experienced many other adverse side effects to prescription drugs such as anti-anxiety medication, sleeping pills, and an antibiotic. This year my anti-anxiety pills sent me into another weeklong period of insomnia where I worked at letting go of all my negative thoughts. When I was able to fully quiet my monkey brain I felt myself be fully present in the seat of consciousness. I then experienced myself as pure light and was able to interact with someone close to me that had recently passed away. My body, mind, and spirit were in complete harmony and I could feel my chakras activating, starting from my sacral to my throat chakra. I went to a psychic who thought I might be experiencing a Kundalini Awakening, but without a strong yoga practice I was not mentally and physically prepared for it. Once I realized my anti-anxiety pills were putting me into this heightened state I went off them in order to get sleep. Slowly I returned to my normal state and felt my old negative thought patterns return. These drug reactions led to the understanding of my spiritual potential but I knew I needed to find a natural approach to get there.\r\n\r\n<strong>I decided to take this yoga teacher training as a way to re-root the strong yoga practice I had nurtured as a teenager.</strong> The knowledge and practice I have gained from this course has helped me to reconnect my mind, body, and spirit. Unfortunately during the course I experienced another adverse reaction to antibiotics that caused sleep anxiety, however, I was able to seek a more Eastern approach to care that included acupuncture, herbal medicine, yoga, and meditation. I believe I started my spiritual journey at a young age, but allowed the ego to consume my spirituality. Adverse drug reactions have pushed me into deep spiritual states that haven’t been able to survive.\r\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">To truly be in an everlasting state of bliss one must live yoga by practicing asanas, meditation, and have unconditional love for oneself.</h4>\r\nNamaste XO\r\n<p align=\"center\"></p>', '200  hours Yoga Teacher Training homework essay from Kendra', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'western-eastern-medicine', '', '', '2018-05-25 21:05:26', '2018-05-25 21:05:26', '', 0, 'http://www.choose2be.ca/?p=2538', 0, 'post', '', 0),

There’s an element of magicalness, of conscious purpose and a bigger picture awareness that those subjects bring to the table, and it makes me really excited to see how a paradigm shift could occur through such understanding.\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Yoga is really the science of consciousness and energy.</h3>\r\nOn the surface it’s one philosophy for how to live life in the best possible way, put into physical directions that most can understand: healthy movement, breathing, concentration, meditation, self-reflection, ethical do’s and don’ts, and calming of the physical senses. These practices lead to what is called Samadhi – self-realization, inner wisdom, and a feeling of blissfulness as you achieve freedom from the constraints of the material world. It’s at this level that the philosophy deep dives into more esoteric concepts – what exactly is freedom from the material world, how is that even possible? What is ‘union with divine consciousness’? What is an ‘energy body’, and chakras, really? It often sounds far out, quite magical, and impossible to fully understand… unless we are able to see these concepts from a different perspective. Our YTT manual notes “<strong><em>The Ancient Mystics of most cultures have always considered our perceived ‘reality’ to be a mere appearance. Understanding the energy from which the apparent forms were made was the goal of life, and brought the student to a state of enLIGHTenment</em>.</strong>”\r\n\r\nIt seems that beneath the physical guiding practices of yoga (or the Bible, the Koran, even Feng Shui, but that’s for another essay!) is a philosophy that can be described by the findings of modern science. Quantum physics is the study of nature at the atomic and subatomic levels. Through the classic Double Slit experiment, scientists realized that a light particle (photon) can also be a wave; it depends on whether an element of measurement (consciousness) is involved. If we do not apply our consciousness and observe the particle, it exists in a wave format; in an energy field of possibility. Does this sound familiar? A little mind blowing?<strong> It means that our whole physical reality is only made ‘real’, because of our perspective.</strong> Every little bit of us and our world is made up of an ‘undulating wave-like cloud’ of possible ways the little bits of subatomic matter can show up. Consciousness changes energy from a wave form (a possibility), to a particle form, which translates into a reality in our physical dimension. From a bigger perspective, this means that we essentially create what we call ‘real’, here in this earthly experience, just by having consciousness; because we have consciousness, we can become aware, aware enough to direct energy and use it to create our reality.\r\nEpigenetics too has contributed to my understanding of how I create my reality out of the energy field of possibilities. This science is the ‘study of biological mechanisms that will switch genes on and off\', (gene expression) without changing the genetic code (DNA). Recent studies have found that a main influence for how a gene expresses itself is not heritage or genetics; and not even environment, food, or exercise; instead it’s your perspective, your beliefs ABOUT those things that affect whether the gene turns on or off. Perhaps the famous quote attributed to Ghandi will have new meaning for you in the light of epigenetics:\r\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">\"Your beliefs become your thoughts. Your thoughts become your words. Your words become your actions. Your actions become your habits. Your habits become your values. Your values become your destiny.\"</h4>\r\nNow look at yoga philosophy which says that our mind is not influenced by the energy flow we exist in, but that it the energy flow, which is a controllable [and measurable] energy! In our body and mind, our thoughts create emotions, which feed further thoughts, and create our outlook (perspective) and then actions (and more often reactions). Inside the body, emotions are understood in the language of hormones and neurotransmitters, and guess what – they all have a vibrating frequency signature.\r\n\r\nTada! – this is thought and perspective as measured in the physical world. Thus one of the goals of yoga is to consciously direct vibrations of thought, and thus our experience; this is accomplished through the practices of yoga as previously mentioned. It’s a way we can rise above the perspective of physical constraints and realize truth – that we are made up of energy, directed by consciousness. Perhaps that is how we are all ‘connected’ – through a singular consciousness.\r\nFor me, the practices and goals of yoga seem to make more sense once I understand them in the light of the above sciences; sciences that now have a magicalness to them. For example, the idea that our 7 Chakra acts as a space-time prism through which the energies separate into various frequencies, manifesting material life forms. <strong>I would call the prism our consciousness</strong>. And if consciousness is really creating our physical world, perhaps consciousness is what we are. A conscious life form having an earthly experience - an experience that isn’t technically ‘real’ according to the energy perspective, as all matter is just vibrating energy - but all the same, a worthwhile and educating experience.So instead of buying into the fully physical perspective, which really can seem purposeless and dreary at times, I like to remember the tenets of epigenetics and quantum physics that in my opinion are behind the philosophy of Yoga. For me, together they provide a perspective that can ‘restore to us that colourful and magical view of life… [as] Yoga tunes us back into the energy world from which we came.”\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/21686289_10105005827997532_2951250299887068334_n.jpg\"><img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2589\" src=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/21686289_10105005827997532_2951250299887068334_n-251x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"251\" height=\"300\" /></a> <a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/10501877_10152734295821055_8677201775795141281_n.jpg\"><img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2590\" src=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/10501877_10152734295821055_8677201775795141281_n-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"Yoga teacher Training, Yoga Teacher Training Nanaimo, Nanaimo, YTT, 200 hours YTT, 200 hours YTT Nanaimo, YTT Nanaimo, VIU, Vancouver Island University, Yoga Nanaimo, Yoga, Training, Training Nanaimo, Yoga Certification, Yoga Certification Nanaimo, Vinyasa Yoga, Vinyasa Yoga Nanaimo, Yin Yoga Nanaimo, Bootcamp Nanaimo, Personal Training Nanaimo, Personal Trainer Nanaimo, Bootcamp Nanaimo, Fitness class Nanaimo, Health Nanaimo, Nutrition Nanaimo, Wellness Nanaimo, Workout Nanaimo, Sculpt Nanaimo Can Fit Pro Certification, Fitness Instructor Specialist, Pro Trainer Nanaimo, Pro Trainer, Experience Yoga Instructor, Experience Yoga Teacher, Experience Yoga Instructor Nanaimo, Experience Yoga teacher Nanaimo\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n\r\n1.

Your values become your destiny.\" </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"western\" lang=\"en-US\"><span style=\"font-family: Baskerville;\">Now look at yoga philosophy which says that our mind is not influenced by the energy flow we exist in, but that it </span><span style=\"font-family: Baskerville;\"><u>is</u></span><span style=\"font-family: Baskerville;\"> the energy flow, which is a controllable [and measurable] energy!</span><sup><span style=\"font-family: Baskerville;\">7 </span></sup><span style=\"font-family: Baskerville;\">In our body and mind, our thoughts create emotions, which feed further thoughts, and create our outlook (perspective) and then actions (and more often reactions). Inside the body, emotions are understood in the language of hormones and neurotransmitters, and guess what – they all have a vibrating frequency signature. </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"western\" lang=\"en-US\"><span style=\"font-family: Baskerville;\">Tada! – this is thought and perspective as measured in the physical world. Thus one of the goals of yoga is to consciously direct vibrations of thought, and thus our experience</span><sup><span style=\"font-family: Baskerville;\">7</span></sup><span style=\"font-family: Baskerville;\">; this is accomplished through the practices of yoga as previously mentioned. It’s a way we can rise above the perspective of physical constraints and realize truth – that we are made up of energy, directed by consciousness. Perhaps that is how we are all ‘connected’ – through a singular consciousness. </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"western\" lang=\"en-US\"><span style=\"font-family: Baskerville;\">For me, the practices and goals of yoga seem to make more sense once I understand them in the light of the above sciences; sciences that now have a magicalness to them. For example, the idea that our 7</span><sup><span style=\"font-family: Baskerville;\">th</span></sup><span style=\"font-family: Baskerville;\"> Chakra acts as a space-time prism through which the energies separate into various frequencies, manifesting material life forms.</span><sup><span style=\"font-family: Baskerville;\">8</span></sup><span style=\"font-family: Baskerville;\"> I would call the prism our consciousness. And if consciousness is really creating our physical world, perhaps consciousness is what we are. A conscious life form having an earthly experience - an experience that isn’t technically ‘real’ according to the energy perspective, as all matter is just vibrating energy - but all the same, a worthwhile and educating experience. </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"western\" lang=\"en-US\"><span style=\"font-family: Baskerville;\">So instead of buying into the fully physical perspective, which really can seem purposeless and dreary at times, I like to remember the tenets of epigenetics and quantum physics that in my opinion are behind the philosophy of Yoga. For me, together they provide a perspective that can ‘restore to us that colourful and magical view of life… [as] Yoga tunes us back into the energy world from which we came.”</span><sup><span style=\"font-family: Baskerville;\">9</span></sup></p>\r\n<p class=\"western\" lang=\"en-US\"><span style=\"font-family: Baskerville;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">1.

At 28, I was still doing pretty much the same thing; my parents had long ago given up telling me to “take it easy.” I spent most of my life spinning wildly out of control… so it wasn’t too surprising when I had a snowboarding accident and sustained major injuries which left me with severe chronic pain. </span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-family: \'Times New Roman\', serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">It’s been just over two years now and I still live with that accident every single day. I began my Yoga Teacher Training journey to gain back fluid movement in my body and to find empowering techniques for pain management. I will continue this path of training so I can help others navigate the journey through pain. I understand the desperation that arises from chronic pain and the exhaustion from trying to learn the limits of a new, unfamiliar body. Daily living tasks become unbearable, social isolation ensues and the thought of any physical activity is overwhelming. It’s challenging to gauge your edge when you’ve been desensitized with a hyperactive nervous system and the pathways of pain are constantly firing. Less is more – an idea completely foreign to me until now. </span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-family: \'Times New Roman\', serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><a href=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/mintgirls.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-2541 alignright\" src=\"http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/mintgirls-300x300.jpg\" alt=\" #yogaontheisland #protrainer  #fitmom #nanaimo #strongbodystrongmind #viu #vancouverislanduniversity #yttvancouverisland #nanaimo #yttnanaimo #yogananaimo #yogavancouverisland #makeitalifestyle #yogateachertraining #yogateachertrainingnanaimo #200hoursyogateachertraining\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" /></a>It’s overwhelming when you first realize your body is no longer capable of doing everything you want it to. The key for using yoga as a tool for pain relief is to accept that it won’t “heal you” or necessarily take away your pain but it will equip you with empowering tools to embrace the way you handle the pain. Yoga strengthens the mind-body-spirit connection. You reteach your brain that movement is safe and accept the importance of deep breathing. The benefits of oxygen are so tantalizingly available yet when we’re in pain, breathing becomes superficial and we loose the healing power that oxygen provides. Relaxation techniques (tapping, breathing, meditating) help calm a tense, rigid body so that the body gets a chance to do what it does naturally, heal. </span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-family: \'Times New Roman\', serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">I’ve had my whole life taken over by pain and I’m just now able to move into a place of acceptance and understanding. It takes time. Sometimes we go through really rough times and when we come out of it, we’re wiser and more empathetic towards others. I’ve learned more in the past two years than I thought possible and I would love to connect with others on their healing path.

Turning off for a moment to clear your mind. How often we are so busy checking other people’s “status updates” that we forget to check into ourselves. We remember to check-in on Facebook but ignore the signals our body and mind provide so intuitively. We have the answers we seek, if only we take the time to listen.\r\n\r\n<i>“Sitting still is an opportunity to break the habitual cycle that has us continually running away from the slightest discomfort and seeking pleasure outside of ourselves. To sit still, no matter what, is not how we usually react to an uncomforatble situation. Yet if we try it, we venture deeper into ourselves, exploring our potential. We will come closer to the source of happiness.”</i>\r\n\r\n<i> -Jivamukti Yoga, Book </i>\r\n\r\nThere are certainly specific methods to follow? There are many books on “how to,” How do I sit? Where do I sit? What do I sit on? Why bother at all? STOP! Stop everything you are doing and thinking for just a moment of concetrated focus on your breath, on your mind, controlling it rather than reacting to it; you are the one in control and can simply take a break.\r\n\r\nTwenty years ago I was given a book on meditation called “Meditation for Dummies” chapter one reads, “What meditation is and isn’t” and had I read the whole book back then maybe I would have had a daily practice sooner? Although the journey of the pasty twenty years has lead to my current practice of 6 days a week. Combining asana and meditation I now direct my health rather than being dictated by it. I promise you it took me more than reading, I found that receiving instruction first in private and in a group setting to be the key which unlocked my abiltity to “take a break” when I need to, controlling the urge to react or judge a circumstance as “good” or bad” instead remaining equanimous and calm.\r\n\r\n<i>“Where motion ceases,” the Master said, “God begins.” </i>\r\n\r\n<i>-Paramhansa Yogananda on Meditation </i>\r\n\r\nTo sustain balance, I allow myself time to attune to mind, body and spirit through meditation which gives me the break I need, when I need it, where I need it, no matter what I am sitting on, and becuase I get to stop everything, I get clear, it’s really like hitting the refresh button on your browser, just clear your history and start fresh.\r\n\r\n<i>“Balanced sailing, weathers all storms.”</i>\r\n\r\n<i> -Coach Danica</i>\r\n\r\n<i>Namaste</i>\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div></div>', '200  hours Yoga Teacher Training homework essay from coach Danica', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '2532-revision-v1', '', '', '2018-05-21 15:52:11', '2018-05-21 15:52:11', '', 2532, 'http://www.choose2be.ca/2532-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0),

As a society we have grown accustom to fully accepting and trusting this type of care. There is a lack of education, funding and options for alternatives. At twenty-eight years old I have experienced multiple adverse side effects from taking prescription drugs. With a near death experience, these drugs have tested my mind, body, and spirit. From a place of nightmares I have entered enlightening and awakening states. But before I get to that I will begin this recollection with my pre-prescription drug period, at the young age of sixteen.\r\n\r\nOn top of a large hill covered in blooming wildflowers overlooking an expansive range of forests, with the Rocky Mountains as a backdrop, I found my place of solitude for spiritual exploration. Located in front of my family home, I would run up the hiking trail to this scared spot and engage in my own free flow of yoga and meditation. I never received any training and this was a time before the explosion of social media so the asana and mediation techniques truly came from within. I remember entering into such deep meditation that I was able to float above my body and be able to observe this sacred location from a bird’s-eye view. I remember engaging in this intuitive yoga practice up until the age of seventeen, when I fell into a serious relationship. My focus for ten years was on this relationship and I lost my practice. My spiritual journey took a turn from this yoga practice to an unexpected form of enlightenment through a prescription drug reaction.\r\n\r\nI was nineteen years old packing for a backpacking trip to Nicaragua. I was going to meet my cousin then spend the rest of the trip on my own, which was a big deal at the time because I had spent the last two years in a serious relationship. I visited a travel clinic to prepare for the trip, I received medication for any cases of diarrhea and the anti malaria drug, Novo-Chloroquine. I was required to take the anti malaria drug once a week, two weeks before the trip. I had left my packing to the last minute, so I quickly glanced over the prescription pill directions (which happened to be the ones for diarrhea) and ended up taking two pills for two weeks. I started to notice myself go crazy the night after New Years Eve, one day before my flight.\r\n\r\nAfter staying up late at a New Years Eve party drinking wine with friends I found myself unable to sleep. I thought it could have just been from drinking and decided I could live with just one sleepless night. The next night when I closed my eyes to sleep I began noticing flashing lights. After an hour or two of trying to sleep through the lights flashing I started to hear voices… telling me, “you have been reborn.” This is when I felt a sense of panic and woke up parents. At first we wondered if someone could have slipped a drug in my drink at the New Years Party because there was some recreational drug use, but it was highly unlikely since they were all close friends. My mom then asked me what I was taking for my trip. I showed her my prescriptions and when she found out I mixed up my dose she called her sister who is a doctor. My aunt knew about the psychotic side effects from anti malaria pills and said I had overdosed and needed to go to the hospital.\r\n\r\nI remember the sinking moment at the hospital when the doctor told me it would take a month for the drug to leave my system. Which meant instead of a trip I would be going through a month of flashing lights when I closed my eyes, hearing voices, and the possibility of things getting worst. I was given a strong sedative to help me sleep and sent home. At the time I was living with my boyfriend, but with the state I was in I moved back into my parents home. That night the sedative did not work. I went through multiple prescriptions for sleep that included anti psychotics. After days of no sleep and being on a variety of drugs I entered into a zombie state. I began hallucinating shadow figures and hearing loud crashing noises. My weight dropped to ninety pounds very rapidly and I lost the ability to drive or wright. I began noticing my senses heightening, my vision sharpened and I could hear sounds coming from the other side of the house. With the inability to sleep and my brain function heightened I became a prisoner trapped in my own mind. This is where my spiritual journey truly began.\r\n\r\nI spent a lot of my life being very critical of myself and developed a condition later diagnosed as body dysmorphia disorder. I had conditioned myself to hate everything about my body and mind. Trapped in my thoughts for days without sleep I began digging deep into my past. I began going back to my childhood to nurture the little girl I had grown to hate. I held her hand and went into every memory of doing harm to others and forgave myself. I then went to every memory of harming myself, even with a thought and forgave myself. I let go of a thick build up of layers that weighed me down mentally and began to feel free. I went through a total of eight days on sedatives with no sleep to enter into a state of enlightenment.\r\n\r\nOn the eighth day of no sleep and going through the process of letting go of a lifetime of negative thinking I entered a blissful state. In the middle of the night I went into the bathroom to sit in front of the mirror. When I looked into the mirror I saw a beautiful angelic figure, my whole body was glowing and I felt a burst of joy run through my body. Then I could hear a voice from above say, “you have done what you needed to do in this life and are ready to move on.” I had this overwhelming urge to completely let go and enter a new stage of life. Then the voice made it clear to me that if I agreed to pass on I would be leaving my parents with my body. It was incredibly hard not to fall into the state of pure bliss, but I could not leave my body behind in that state knowing the harm I would do to my loved ones. At that moment I woke up my parents and told them I needed to go to the hospital.\r\n\r\nWe quickly rushed to the hospital, I remember seeing myself turn blue as I glanced at my reflection in the side mirror, and I felt myself fading. When we arrived at the hospital, they assumed from my appearance and mental state that I was on Crystal Meth. My heart started shutting down and they needed to resuscitate me. I remember seeing my parents shocked faces and fought to stay alive. I had made the choice to stay and was able to stabilize and go home that day. I finally got some sleep and slowly began noticing the side effects beginning to subside. After a month I finally began to function normally again, however I experienced long-term effects of sleep anxiety.\r\n\r\nThis drug reaction had a profound effect on my life. As I returned to my normal state, I began to build those layers of insecurities up again. Over the next nine years I experienced many other adverse side effects to prescription drugs such as anti-anxiety medication, sleeping pills, and an antibiotic. This year my anti-anxiety pills sent me into another weeklong period of insomnia where I worked at letting go of all my negative thoughts. When I was able to fully quiet my monkey brain I felt myself be fully present in the seat of consciousness. I then experienced myself as pure light and was able to interact with someone close to me that had recently passed away. My body, mind, and spirit were in complete harmony and I could feel my chakras activating, starting from my sacral to my throat chakra. I went to a psychic who thought I might be experiencing a Kundalini Awakening, but without a strong yoga practice I was not mentally and physically prepared for it. Once I realized my anti-anxiety pills were putting me into this heightened state I went off them in order to get sleep. Slowly I returned to my normal state and felt my old negative thought patterns return. These drug reactions led to the understanding of my spiritual potential but I knew I needed to find a natural approach to get there.\r\n\r\nI decided to take this yoga teacher training as a way to re-root the strong yoga practice I had nurtured as a teenager. The knowledge and practice I have gained from this course has helped me to reconnect my mind, body, and spirit. Unfortunately during the course I experienced another adverse reaction to antibiotics that caused sleep anxiety, however, I was able to seek a more Eastern approach to care that included acupuncture, herbal medicine, yoga, and meditation. I believe I started my spiritual journey at a young age, but allowed the ego to consume my spirituality. Adverse drug reactions have pushed me into deep spiritual states that haven’t been able to survive. To truly be in an everlasting state of bliss one must live yoga by practicing asanas, meditation, and have unconditional love for oneself.\r\n\r\nNamaste\r\n\r\nXO\r\n<p align=\"center\"></p>', '200  hours Yoga Teacher Training homework essay from Kendra', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '2538-revision-v1', '', '', '2018-05-21 15:58:01', '2018-05-21 15:58:01', '', 2538, 'http://www.choose2be.ca/2538-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0),

Week 6 of this program has sparked my curiosity in Kundalini yoga and Tantra yoga and I would in the future maybe attend some classes. In addition to this program I might possibly even look into online modules on those. I also mentioned to everyone that I was thinking about teaching prenatal yoga. I have looked into online teacher training for that and, in addition to this program, was thinking of doing that.\r\nA few weeks ago, it was mentioned that working on your physical voice helps with confidence and such. There are some voice exercises and things theatre actors do that I’ve made note of in the manual. My boyfriend and I are planning to do some of those together (he’s an actor and director). There’s also some that he wants to show me that he learned over the years he’s been in theatre. I’d love to also do my yoga and meditation with him. But finding the time and space is difficult. We need to move out of our parents’ places first (aiming to this summer) and then we can have our own place with a sacred space for meditating, and decorate that with Buddha and singing bowls and crystals.\r\nAnother thing I\'d also love to deepen in my practice that maybe isn’t so much yoga is my witchyness/psychic abilities. We haven\'t touched on this in class much but all things paranormal are so amazing to me and in order to experience that more I’m working on being open and not afraid. Fear is usually what stops us from seeing our spirit guides and spirits of love and light because they know when you’re afraid and they don’t wish to scare you. If a spirit hangs around and you’re afraid, it most likely isn’t one of love and light. But ya, I am extremely and forever fascinated by witchcraft and all things paranormal.\r\nIn conclusion, that is a glimpse of where I could see my practice going. I’ve met so many amazing people throughout this program.
