When I received news that two of my favourite teachers would be in town and will be teaching during this weekend, I did not hesitate to confirm that I would be attending both sessions although it was on the 3rd and 4th day of Chinese New Year.
Yesterday's session with Lila was a donation based class as the proceeds collected from the class will be donated to flood relief and repair in Kuantan. The class was a healing yoga therapy class with a slow-paced flow yoga class and ended with a chakra balance session during savasana. I felt so wonderful and relaxed after the class.
Today's workshop with Azmi focused on invoking strength and completion in vinyasa, The workshop brings back memories of my practice with Azmi from the music that was played to the poses that was practiced. Azmi's instruction at the beginning of the session on setting intentions reminded me why it is important to have an intention every time we step on our mat so that when we practice we are more aware and mindful.
Although the two sessions were very different, there was one common thing that both of my teachers had emphasized on which was the breath. When we breathe in the poses, we will find ease and balance in the poses. And as Azmi reminded us at the end of the workshop, we should remember to welcome the breath when we inhale and expressed our gratitude when we exhale as the breath is our life force.
