I have just completed a course which will enable me to teach Yoga. When I decided to teach, I went on line and looked over the myriad of choices which are both perplexing and exciting. Aura Wellness Center has many different choices so I emailed them and told them some of my history with Yoga and also with teaching as well as a bit about myself. I received a prompt suggestion as to which course I should take and found it to be inexpensive compared to some others. The materials came quickly and I found them to be both comprehensive and thorough. Each time I had a question or comment, I received an email in return within a few days, regardless of the seriousness of my questions or comments. I have had experience with Hatha Yoga for almost 50 years but really wanted to become more involved with Meditation and Breathing and competent at teaching others. The thought of filming an hour class was daunting but the 50 question test and the essay required both helped prepare me for what I wanted to gain from the course as well as what I could present to others. This summer, my daughter had a particularly difficult summer. Previously, she was a competitive runner and as many others have, suffered chronic changes in her leg due to intensive training. As well, her emotional state this summer was not her usual. I asked if I could teach her in my class, as I found her to be in need of both the Hatha Yoga and Pranayama. It was wonderful to have her wake up each day and ask “Mom, can we do some Yoga today?” She lives in London and has a hectic job, traveling from University to University giving talks and often misses her traditional exercise. I am thrilled that she can take what she learned this summer anywhere and also can practice breathing on the train, which is where she spends a lot of her day. I feel that this course prepared me for starting out at teaching others and put me on a path of lifetime learning with regards to the best exercise in the world. Prior to this course, I have always been involved in physical activity and taught Weight Training and Walking in my job as a Public Health Nurse. I have always believed that if there were to be only one choice, I would chose Yoga over any other type of Physical Activity. Now I am convinced of that. I am blessed to have this start at a lifetime of learning and now can teach others the wonderful benefits. In this stressful world, proper breathing and Meditation are a must. I am now convinced that I have the tools to help others in a way I previously believed in but didn’t have the tools to do. I thank the team at Aura Wellness Center for giving me this start.
