the first thing on my wish list for bali was to practice yoga. we found the most amazing place in ubud. there were probably 4 different studios, a cafe, an outdoor performance/practice area, hammocks, lounging huts and lots and lots of land draped in green. we were lucky enough to be able to squeeze in 3 classes.
it was so refreshing for me to be here because the place i am currently practicing at in south korea is in a dark room, the instructor plays the same music and teaches the same sequence of poses for almost all the classes. i have been finding myself in a rut. i will do my own home practice and try to push myself, but there is nothing like being surrounded by other people who are encouraging one another to try new things and keep working hard, as well as having an instructor who gives the perfect balance of a strenuous and relaxing class. i have been craving more. and i found it.
i could honestly say that at this studio, i attended the best class i have ever taken and was even encouraged to push myself into a new arm balance i had never done.
this class was held up in a tree house-like structure. it was amazing to be practicing yoga in a room with no walls, no windows, an amazing view of rice fields, with plants peeking inside and a breeze dancing around our bodies.
i would love to go back and attend a teacher training course over the summer.
