Quotes for My Yoga Practice

Yoga for Life in the Malaysian Book of Records

Last Sunday, Yoga for Life with Great Eastern went into the Malaysian Book of Records with 2,220 people doing yoga for 45 minutes.  The event also managed to raised RM44,400/- for the Breast Welfare Cancer Association Malaysia.

Why We Practice

This is taken from David Garrigues' article on Great Doubt = Great Faith on Elephant Journal. 


How soon do you forget what you just learned in practice? Almost immediately.
How soon does doubt replace faith? Almost immediately.
How soon is meditation replaced by distraction and scatteredness? Almost immediately.
How soon is the bright fire you kindled during practice diminished to a faint glow in the hearth? Almost immediately.
How soon is the wisdom you gain, even the deep wisdom covered by ignorance? Almost immediately.
There it is, 
But I and you begin again. Almost Immediately.

I have signed up as a volunteer Yoga Facilitator for the Yoga for Life with Great Eastern which will be held as follows:

Inspiring Yoga Teacher

Teachings from Marc Bauchet that I learned from his Acro Yoga classes for the past four weeks.

• From being a Base - when things go wrong, don't just blame other people, check with yourself and see where you could have done better to save the situation.  
• From being a Flyer - when you need help, don't hesitate to ask.  You will get the support you need.
• From being a Spotter - if too much support is given, people will feel restricted.  You are only there to lend a helping hand whenever they need it.

The above teachings are not only applicable in Acro Yoga but also in our daily life.   Namaste, Marc.
