Did You Know?
This picture on the front of page of the
New York Times grabbed my attention
yesterday:
 An
artificial heart just approved by the FDA to be
implanted in the human body. Although the
recipients have so far not lived more than 5
months it would seem only a matter of time until
this contraption of plastic and valves pumps blood
and keeps people alive.
And I thought...how interesting, this
completely foreign object in the body of humans
and yet, what about compassion, does this heart
come with compassion? But of course, no, we
have to do that, each one of us, everyday.
We practice caring for ourselves, accepting
ourselves, and then accepting and loving
others. What a wild world we live in with
these great jumping advances in technology while
at the same time, it's all the same, cultivating
compassion for thousands of
years.

Meta's Message
Okay sometimes I read
and I laugh out loud (lol) and I have to share it
with you.
From the NYT, 9/6/06,
page A5, there was an article about the new
anchor, Rosie O'Donnell on the TV show
The View. For those of you who
don't know, the show consists of a panel of woman
talking and interviewing guests. One of the
panelists is Elisabeth Hasslebeck. Here's
the excerpt (by Alessandra Stanley):
When Elisabeth
Hasslebeck, the Zeppo Marx of the foursome, said
she donned a bathing suit to take a bath with her
baby daughter, Ms. O'Donnell went wide-eyed at her
prudery and recalled that when she took a more
natural bath with her daughter, the child asked,
"When do I get my fur?"
With smiles, laughs,
and always deep gratitude for you, the community
of YogaNow,
Meta.

YogaNow Teacher Training
Apprentice
Program
Yoga
is a way of life. It incorporates philosophy, ways
of being, and ways of conducting ourselves. Yoga
provides an approach to facing challenges in the
physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual
arenas in which we all work and play. To be a yoga
teacher is to be in the process of uncovering our
unique gifts so that we can share them with
others.
How
Do We Learn to Teach Yoga?
First,
it is important to realize that while you can begin
to learn to teach yoga, you can never finish
learning to teach yoga. Learning yoga is a
lifelong endeavor, and learning to be a teacher of
the simultaneously ancient and contemporary art of
yoga requires a commitment to the lifelong
learning process.
Ultimately
we learn to teach yoga by living our lives with
meaning and mindfulness, as well as with
compassion and love. But what about the specifics
of yoga practice? How do we learn the details of
alignment, the art of connection and
communication, the pacing and sequencing of
teaching a class? How do we begin to tap into the
ancient wisdom and texts of
yoga?
YogaNow
offers a unique course of study incorporating a
wide variety of instructional
approaches:
§

commentaries
