Week 2: A DISCOVERY

This week there are no grandchildren to entertain so I am able to attend the regular Yoga Classes at the Bohdi Yoga Center . Syl is skilled in instructing and teaching new things as we go along. 

Monday, in the Restorative Yoga Class she talked about Dissociative Reflex. She made up this name but her description of it was very profound to my soul. This is what I remember of it:

When things are uncomfortable our brain dissociates with the body. It is as if it goes through a swinging door. Sometimes the door does not swing back for one reason or another and we are stuck in the dissociative state. We need to find a way to get that door to open back to our body and make a re-connection. This touched my heart as I felt that this is the state I have been in since childhood. I feel a deep desire to connect and see the person I really am. It has been a painful difficult struggle over the years to be able to accomplish all that was expected of me by me or by others. I feel that I may be on the right path.

I found Bodhi Yoga Center on Facebook.

Week 1: TRAINING BEGINS

I began my journey with Syl Carson one year before my husband died and continued one year after before I was called to Germany as a missionary.  I did my own practice a couple times a week to keep it up.  On returning to Utah, after two years in Germany, I felt drawn to immerse myself in Yoga and knew that Bodhi Yoga was where I would get the best training.  I signed up for the TeacherTraining and the journey begins.



My intention is to perfect my practice, connect and learn the inner me and feel peace. I do not know if I will teach but I am open and hope my heart can lead me to be able to reach out to others and help them along this path also.


This piece of the teaching stood out to me and gave me encouragement and hope.

"Asana is the Sanskrit word meaning Posture, a steady position of the body, "a state of being, steady and joyful". Asana postures are methods of working with one's body in order to prepare it for further stages of spiritual development, mental stability and physical health. They also help one acquire initial concentration skills and provide an entry level development of energetic structures of the complete human being."

Teaching Grandchildren

Since I was babysitting some of my grandchildren the first week I practiced on them

We Warm Up

We learn how to breathe. Feel the stomach expand when you breathe in and then the chest. Now breathe out..and let it all out.
