500-Hour RYT Training Update

In November 2009, we spent an Ayurveda weekend with visiting teacher Melanie Farmer. During this 12-hour immersion in the "science of life," each person's constitution was determined according to personal tendencies. Using this information, students received personalized diets and asana practices. It was a vibrant and enlightening course and the students learned a great deal about their bodies, minds, and healing in the context of Ayurvedic medicine.

We also practiced pranayama (breathing techniques) and continued a line-by-line reading of the "Bhagavad Gita." We are all inspired by Arjuna, the warrior and "man in crisis" character of this bhakti (devotional) epic poem of India. Sometimes we chant verses in anustub meter, translating as we go—much fun!
