I embarked on my second teacher training in April 2019, this time over an intensive month in Ubud, Bali. Two enlightened souls, Bridget Woods Kramer (bridgetwoodskramer.com) and Ananda Leone (anandaleone.com), imparted the wisdom of their invaluable gifts: opening to grace and embodying the three principles of Anusara Yoga - Attitude, Alignment and Action with the Power of the Breath. I learnt these were the most fundamental threads to my yoga practice. Once I set my foundation and intention for the practice, I aligned my mind and heart to that divine power; softening my boundaries and being open to the energetic power within my magnetic fields. I willingly became aware of every part of myself, sensing that duality of light and shadow exists within me and moving through with breath, awareness, strength, courage, softness and love.
The course was designed to be intensive, so we could fully immerse in the teachings of Anusara Yoga and Pranayama without the distractions of daily life. Like a sponge soaking in the rich knowledge, we would sit in the yoga shala for over 10 hours a day living and breathing the teachings, our breaks getting shorter as the days progressed.
