Time to say goodbye

Leaving the Ashram feels like leaving home! It was such an amazing time learning all about Yoga with the most amazing and friendly people from all over the world. And there was a lot of hugging going on. But thanks to the new media we can stay in touch and watch each others progress.

Sometimes I think I could have just stayed in the Ashram forever. But it is not the time, it is time to go out and spread the joy and happiness Yoga brings every day to my life with my students.

Diploma time!

Without knowing the outcome of our exams, we put on the uniforms and go to Sat Sang as usual. Excitement, pleasure and a little bit of sadness is in the air. The last Sat Sang as the TTC group....

We chanted as usual the daily chant and than every teacher chanted his or hers favourite chant, what a treat! And than the moment has come. They called every student and handed out the diploma. I did it, I passed with a very good! Many exams I passed before but this is the most important and special one for me!

Let the feast begin

The last dinner was the best dinner! We had the special Kerala dish which is normally only served after the Monsoon time. The food is served on a banana leaf and consists of different curries, chutneys and sweets. All tastes are included sweet, sour, spicy and bitter. This evening nobody was quite during dinner and we all cheered and chattered happily without knowing the outcome of the exams! That's what I call living in the moment.....

The day of the written exam

Today we got up as usual and our sat sang and morning meditation as usual. At 08:00 o' clock the exam started. The good new was that we had breakfast!! So three meals a day, first time this happend in the Ashram :-).

So we check in with our TTC Roll number of course and started writing our exam on the floor for 3,5 hours :-). After the exam I realised that this exam is just the beginning, I learned so much during this 4 weeks and I want to learn more. Yoga will be a lifelong study in theory and in practise and I am looking forward for it. I am more than happy to share my knowledge with everyone who is interested.

The outcome of the exam should be told in the evening. So we spend the day waiting or practising our patience...
