A Journey Towards the Beginning: A Yoga Teacher Blog |

Being a professional yoga teacher and practitioner gave wings to my passion and dedication, I could feel a sense of dignity for the work. I did and made a path that I choose from then I have never thought to look back or take a twist. My life has become a full-on yogic path and I feel oneness. Trekking is full of adventures and memories yet yoga treks are more of it. Yoga trekking as a yoga teacher is more exciting. 6-8 hours of walking to mountain trails was extremely fun and I felt it more intense to walk with my guest.I had to be in full-on energy to send better vibes on the tough roads of mountains. Further about Ghorepani Poonhill Trek Blog

Poonhill is really a magnetic and magnificent place and a must-go place to see the beauty of “Bramhamurata” at the dawn of the day and the intense beauty of sunrise from an altitude of 3210 m. The Annapurna range is worth watching from here. And the early yoga practice here in touch with the purest form of nature is intense and progressive. The mind simply gets meditative, and in aasana practice body and mind perfectly coordinate and blend with nature; a sense of stillness simply happens.

Our trekking began from Nayapul and then lasted 6 days, we covered Hile, Ulleri, Ghorepani, Poon hill sunrise, Tadapani, Ghandruk finally Pokhara where we stayed in Visitors Inn. Around 136 km of walk; the longest yoga trek I have been to and there were few challenges and lots of fun to keep in my memory pocket. Being a yoga teacher what I learned was intense cold temperatures and an average walk of 6 hours; early morning or in the evening, facilitating yoga guests involving them in yoga sessions; especially in winter might be tough. The only thing that works in that situation is your passion and dedication to teaching yoga in freezing cold of the Mountains and Himalayas; wake up take a cold shower and wake your yoga children up, pamper them with love, and drag them to yoga sessions. This was how I managed yoga sessions during a tiresome trek, long and steppy walks, and ups and downs. Yoga was my fuel. As a yoga teacher, it was a great learning experience to me and I would love to have more of it. Yoga sessions were my part of my job and I would be dedicated to it for I had consciously decided to be one I say it again no looking back even if I freeze because after fun sessions whole day feels warmer and even a cold shower becomes your buddy. Yoga Nindra session in the evening at our 1 day-stay guest home was fun, it would release restlessness and physical pain, meditation fueled enthusiasm and feeling of self within us.

Ghorepani 2874 m, is simply magical. I would like to be lost in this kind of place for a month like a “lost in mountains” kind of vibe. The mountains were so near to my eyes, it literally felt like I wanted to introduce myself to them and ask for their introduction. They seem overwhelmingly beautiful maybe I was too emotional or whatnot because I openly say I am one of ‘them’. Annapurna 8091 m, fishtail 6993m, Dhaulagiri range, the hills, pine forest, sky, eagles, spring, grasses, rocks everything seemed beautiful and beautiful human too.“Snow View Lodge and Restaurant” This place got so memorable to us; 3rd day of walk, tough uphill trek well that pain released as the had wonderful hot shower service, and also their apple pie, americano, and vegetable soup is simply awesome. The taste was marvelous, I could only say so because the moment and weather and mountains brought the taste to it.

Day-4 tadapani, a Chill place to perform yoga sessions, a very meditative place; if someone misses the sunrise from poon hill(3210), they can see the same canvas of mountains and sunrise, so chill and if overslept at Ghorepani you will still catch it on Mattapan.
Ghandruk was downhill an easy walk, the tea garden was eye-catching and food was always full of love everywhere. We were in lots of fun because mission poon hill felt easily accomplished, yoga and meditation and walk and treks and pains and funs started and we were beautifully ending it at Pokhara.

Day 6 Pokhara, back to the hotel. Cleaning up some left tiredness but as far as I feel we were cool, me, our guide, guest everyone.Less tiring as yoga nidra, meditation, and asana actually make a great friend when you are trekking, they recharged us every spiritually, mentally and physically to stick on the trekking journey with positive and tireless enthusiasm.“The journey begins and the journey ends, some continue for the next second, some for the next minute, the next hour, the next day, maybe the next life eventually every journey ends only to begin again; being conscious about the journey as a whole is one big realization about self”.

Reiki Healing and Life Force Energy

Reiki is an ancient Japanese healing technique that involves the transfer of “life force energy,” or prana, by laying the hands on specific parts of the body. Reiki masters have successfully unlocked their free flow of prana, and they can transfer the ability to use Reiki to students through a process known as “attunement”.Learn How Integrating Reiki Healing into Your Yoga Practice

Once your own prana is unlocked and you have the ability to use Reiki, you can use it on others or yourself, focusing the life force energy to specific body parts that may help heal injuries and promote overall good health and well-being.

Yoga and Life Force Energy

Yoga, too, has a strong focus on the flow of prana throughout the body, with the aim of unlocking and freeing up your life force energy by moving into and holding various poses. Each time you successfully hold a pose while breathing deeply, you’re effectively dissolving the blockages that prevent your prana flow.

Various poses can unlock your prana in various ways. Forward bends, for instance, can unblock prana to soothe, calm and ground you, while backbends prompt prana that provides a revitalizing boost.

Reiki Healing and Yoga: A Potent Combination

Now that you have the basics on how both Reiki and yoga help awaken and unblock your life force energy, you can just imagine the results when you put the two together. Using Reiki on targeted areas while holding and breathing through yoga poses that target those same areas has the power to create a potent surge of prana that can veritably catapult your mind, body and spirit to a more enlightened and invigorating plane.

She found Reiki so beneficial to her yoga practice that she says Reiki has actually become her yoga practice. She views each pose as a pure expression of life force energy, with Reiki and yoga working together to ensure that energy remains strong and readily available during her yoga practice as well as her daily life.

Stress in the modern world:

Today, our bodies still secrete cortisol when confronted with stress, just as they did thousands of years ago, but there are more stressors in our lives. We’re dealing not only with physical challenges but with emotional stressors, too.So further for Essential Guide to Yoga For Stress Management

Financial pressures, the demands of the workplace, and hectic schedules — all of these can contribute to increasing our stress levels. All kinds of worries can trigger the body’s flight or fight response: anxiety over a presentation at work; workplace bullying; or concern about whether you’ll be able to pay all your monthly bills on time.

These regular doses of cortisol aren’t good for us. They can weaken our immune systems, injure brain cells, and lead to heart disease. Additionally, cortisol affects us at the cellular level, too, by aging us faster.

Stress levels:

1. Moderate: It can improve our performance and efficiency and also drive into positive way.
2. Too little: it can result in boredom and tension.
3. Too much: It can cause an unproductive anxiety level and whole-body disorders.

Yoga for stress management and health:

In a study conducted by The American Council on Exercise (ACE), it was conclusively proved that yoga helps beginners to counter stress. After eight weeks of observing Yoga practitioners, they observed there was a fundamental improvement in their physical and mental health.

Participants self-reported:

• Boosted mood
• Higher ability to concentrate
• Less emotional instability
• Improved flexibility by 13% to 35%
• Improved muscular strength
• Improved endurance

Yoga to relieve tension:

Yoga is a mind-body exercise that includes physical poses, controlled breathing, and meditation. As I stated above, when you make Yoga a part of your life, it enhances your physical, mental, intellectual, and spiritual health. The best part of Yoga is that it has many ways of doing it. From complex moves for experts to basic poses for beginners, it suits everyone. Hatha pose is one of the most common forms of stress-relieving Yoga for beginners because of its slow pace and simple movements. But Yoga isn’t limited to Hatha, you can start with any pose that suits your preferences.

Having said that, let’s see what the 3 core components of Yoga are:

Asanas (poses):

An asana is a body posture, originally and still a general term for a sitting meditation pose, and later extended in hatha yoga and modern yoga as exercise, to any type of pose or position, adding reclining, standing, inverted, twisting, and balancing poses.

Breathing:

Yoga breathing, or Pranayamas,is the science of Prana (vital energy) which is referred as a source of all life in all living beings in this universe. It consists of a series of breathing exercises especially intended to meet the body’s needs and keep it in vibrant health.

Other than for increasing vital reserves in the body, Pranayamas are mainly practiced for stilling the mind and thought process – as the prana and thoughts are no different. According to Yogis, we can control our thoughts by the breath, and breathing is a tool to harmonize the body, mind, and consciousness.

Meditation:

Begin your yoga journey with seated meditation, which will help ease you into a meditative state before practicing the postures in this book. Finding a restful, meditative state is as easy as following a few steps – with the goal being to gradually lengthen the spaces between thoughts.

What is Ayurveda?

Ayurveda comes from a Sanskrit word, “ayuh,” meaning life and “Veda,” meaning knowledge. Hence, Ayurveda is a system of traditional medicine that has been practiced in India for over 5000 years. The name Ayurveda translates to “The Science of Life,” and focuses on achieving optimal health through balance of mind, body and consciousness.Learn What is Ayurveda and How It Works?

The Ayurveda principles, which are based on achieving a balanced state of mind, are an important step in achieving a healthy body. The Yoga Sutras and the Vedas understood the connection between the purity of one’s mind through constant and regular practice of Yoga, thereby applying the principles Niyamas and Yamas to achieve total health of the mind, body and spirit.

● Maintain internal and external balance
● Sync with our truest nature
● Connect with the natural surroundings

Concept of Health in Ayurveda:

Ayurveda defines health as “Svastha,” a state in which mind, body, and soul are in perfect harmony with each other leading to an experience of well-being and bliss. Also, Ayurveda’s concept of connectedness extends far beyond an individual to the universe.

Ayurvedic Principles:

The human beings are born with five senses and Ayurveda group these five elements into three types of energy present in the body of every individual alive. These are Vata, Pitta and Kapha. From physical to mental to emotional, everything that you experience has certain qualities. The classical texts of Ayurveda specify these qualities as Gunas. The Gunas are classified into 10 pairs of opposites making 20 qualities in total (for example: cold vs hot, heavy vs light). The excess and deficient of these Gunas result in doshic imbalance causing diseases.

Agni (the digestive fire) is another Ayurvedic principle responsible for Svastha. Agni helps in transforming food into bodily tissues and waste; discerning between nutritious material and toxic product. Heightened Agni of the body helps digest the toxins that have manifested due to diverse stresses ensuring optimal functioning body.

How Ayurveda Works?

Ayurveda works to prevent and heal diseases by balancing the imabalanced doshas and strengthening the digestive fire, Agni. Preventive care and treatment of diseases falls under eight branches in Ayurveda:

● Kaayachikitsa – Internal Medicine
● Baalachikitsa – Pediatrics
● Bhuta Vidya – Psychiatry
● Shalakya Tantra – Ear, Nose and Throat Treatment
● Shalya Tantra – Surgery
● Vishagara Vairodh Tantra – Toxicology
● Jarachikitsa/Rasayana – Geriatrics and Rejuvenation
● Vajikarana – Aphrodisiac Therapy, Fertility, and Conception

In addition, Ayurveda encompasses the world’s most comprehensive cleansing technique, Panchakarma. This ancient Ayurveda treatment uses five therapies to eliminate deeply embedded toxins from the tissues and help doshas return to the original seats in the body.

Benefits of Ayurveda:

The integration and commitment to Ayurveda into life can be immensely beneficial for overall health and well-being. Here are the eight areas where Ayurveda can enhance wellness:

1. Prevention: The knowledge of Ayurveda aims at treating the underlying cause of the problem rather the symptoms. Therefore, Ayurveda is considered a form of preventive health care. It provides you with the means to support your immune system, minimize the stress that often leads to imbalance.

2. Daily Routine: Ayurveda encourages dedication to dincharya, daily routine to help you feel stable and grounded each day. Some of the rituals of daily routine are as follow:

● Indulging in the practice of yoga and meditation
● Periodically getting oil massages

3. Healthy Diet: Ayurveda diet and food combinations help maximize the Agni. When Agni is strong, you feel healthy and good on all three levels: physical, mental, and emotional.

● Foods that are sweet, salty, and sour are Vata Pacifying. Warm spices, a balanced amount of ghee and oil are recommended.
● Pitta people can enjoy sweet, bitter and astringent foods. Add cooling herbs and spices to your dishes
● Eat foods that are pungent, bitter, or astringent in taste. Favor more freshly cooked, light, and dry dishes.

4. Ayurvedic Yoga: There are yoga asanas for your dosha. Determine your dominant dosha and cultivate a yoga routine to pacify it and for holistic welfare.

● Asanas for Vata: Uttanasana, Balasana, Sukhasana, Padmasana
● Asanas for Pitta: Ustrasana, Bhujangasana, Dhanurasana
● Asanas for Kapha: Setu Bandhasana, Surya Namaskar

5. Herbal Medicines: Ayurveda gives you an insight into the herbal world. Herbal medicines, treatments, and herbs are important to the science of Ayurveda for curing. Ashwagandha, Neem, Turmeric, Basil are some of the widely used herbs for treatments.

6. Ayurveda for beauty, energy, and sleep: Ayurveda enhances all these by healing the body inside-out. Ayurveda has a wholesome approach for increasing one’s vitality, beauty, sleep and grace.

With Ayurveda, embrace natural intelligence, equanimity and health today and forever.

What is Triphala?

Triphala (the three fruits) is an Ayurvedic, polyherbal preparation comprising three ingredients. The ingredients are all fruits, and they’re all native to India: bibhitaki, amalaki, and haritaki. Each fruit is thought to positively impact the body’s three doshas. In Ayurvedic medicine, doshas are elemental forces believed to permeate body, mind, and spirit

• Indian Gooseberry (Emblicaofficinalis)
• Black Myrobalan (TerminaliaChebula)
• Belleric Myrobalan (TerminaliaBelliric)

Triphala can be consumed and is available in a variety of forms like powder, juice, capsule or tablet.

Health benefits of Triphala

1. Anti-inflammatory
   
   Triphala consists of a great degree of antioxidants, Vitamin C, Saponins and other compounds that help in dealing with molecules that can damage cells or make them weak. This, in turn, results in the protection from heart-related diseases and therefore improves physical performance and reduces inflammation.
   
   
2. Beneficial for oral health
   
   The anti-inflammatory property when coupled with its antimicrobial nature results in the prevention of the formation of plaque, which in turn reduces any possibility of cavities of gum infections. It restricts any kind of bacterial growth in the mouth thus maintaining a good oral hygiene. There are a great number of mouthwashes available in the market which has Triphala extract which can give you the right kind of oral health.
   
   
3. Helps with diabetes
   
   We all know that when a person is suffering from diabetes, it becomes difficult for the body cells to properly absorb sugar and use it for the purpose of producing energy. The Indian Gooseberry plant, which is a part of Triphala, has certain anti-diabetic characteristics that help the body in maintaining the right amount of sugar. This happens through the anti-oxidant present in the compound. Another plant i.e. Belleric Myrobalan helps in producing insulin resistance and helps the cells in absorbing sugar better.
   
   
4. Improves digestion
   
   It is widely believed, as well as proven by evidence, that Triphala has great potential to deal with bad digestive health and constipation. It helps in improving the movement or churning within the intestines for the removal of waste. Not only that, it also helps in producing certain bacteria that help in maintaining an overall healthy gut.
   
   
5. Relieves stress and anxiety
   
   Some of the studies show that Triphala stimulates “Adaptogenic activity” which allows a person to cope with stress. Not only that but the detoxifying characteristic of it through regulating the digestive system allows it to clear up your body and mind. A healthy body always results in a happy mind and soul.
   
   
6. Relieves bone and joint pains (helps in Arthritis)
   
   Arthritis is often caused by the accumulation of gas in the body. With the consumption of Triphala, the body’s bowel movement improves which in turn results in the subsiding of the gas. It also lowers the level of uric acid and inflammation in the body which provides protection from the effects of gout and ensures healthy and strong muscles and bones.

The government on Wednesday launched Visit Nepal 2020, an ambitious campaign that hopes to draw 2 million foreign tourists over the year. Nepal, a country highly dependant on the import of foreign goods and services, values tourism as a source of foreign currency and the means to sustaining a booming hospitality industry. Beyond the major attractions of mountaineering, trekking and sightseeing, tourism is also benefiting communities, with homestays, mostly in indigenous settlements,  becoming much more popular in recent years.

From the hippie paradise to Shangri-La and Naturally Nepal: Once is not enough, Nepal has attempted to change its brand identity to Lifetime Experiences in a bid to position the country as one of the world’s most unique value destinations.
Considering that past tourism campaigns have by and large been successful in giving a boost to the industry
in difficult times, even if they didn’t exactly achieve the set goals, this new initiative has also given hope to tourism entrepreneurs. But there are challenges are aplenty in making the most out of the national push.
Here’s everything you need to know about Nepal’s major tourism campaigns and the prospects of Visit Nepal 2020.

About the Inaguration Ceremony : Visit Nepal 2020

Lighting the flame of unity, President Bidya Devi Bhandari officially launched Visit Nepal 2020 today with the slogan ‘Lifetime Experience’. Respective province chiefs also launched the campaign in all seven provinces at the same time.

Addressing the inauguration ceremony, President Bhandari said the country’s economy was dependent on tourism, which had been affected by the long civil war and unstable political system.

Mythical creature Yeti has been selected as mascot of the yearlong campaign as well as stickers targeting ambitious drive also was launched over the Viber.

Tourism ministers from India, China, Myanmar and Jamaica were present during the inauguration and extended their good wishes to Nepal for the grand success of the VN2020 campaign.

The inauguration ceremony of the mega tourism campaign kicked off with chanting of mantras of seven religions — Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, Kiratism, Christianity, Jainism, Sikhism — practised in the country. Viber stickers of VN2020 and mascot for the campaign, Yeti, were also released during the inauguration.

What are the problems that need to be solved?

Many tourism entrepreneurs are not happy with the planning for this year’s campaign. According to senior tourism entrepreneurs, in the past, the government joined with the private sector and gave them equal ownership. This campaign has not effectively taken the private sector on board, despite being led by Suraj Vaidya, a private sector industrialist.
The government is still not clear on how it will draw in the targeted number of tourists and from which countries, they said. Air connectivity is another issue as it has not improved as it should, if visitors’ numbers are to double this year.

Even though the government had three years to prepare adequately for the campaign, nothing substantial has been visible.
Visit Nepal’s declaration had put pressure on the government to complete two long-running airport upgradation projects: Gautam Buddha Airport in Bhairahawa and Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu. But both projects, after years of delays, remain incomplete.
Travel trade entrepreneurs are also worried that neither the government, the Nepal Tourism Board nor the Visit Nepal 2020 Secretariat has done anything substantial to promote Nepal abroad to attract tourists. A glaring lapse is that the Nepal Tourism Board, the country’s tourism promotional body, is currently without a leader, even as the country inaugurated the ambitious campaign on Wednesday.

Overview: How Singing Bowls Work

There’s no doubt that if you hear a singing bowl of any note, it will surely calm you, It might come in your mind, “How exactly do they work?” Like all musical instruments,  singing bowls rely on friction and vibration to create the sound we hear. So What makes singing bowls so special are the different sounds that can be created by them depending on their qualities and the various circumstances and conditions in which they may be played. So learn here How Singing Bowls Work: The Science Behind Singing Bowls

Scientists and musicians alike have recently become interested in the singing bowl and the manner in which it creates sound. The science behind the sounds of singing bowls is quite simple and can best be compared to playing with wine glasses filled with water. However, the science behind the healing properties of singing bowls is not quite as familiar or established.

How do singing bowls work?

To play a singing bowl, one must either strike the bowl or rub the rim with a mallet. The action taken with the mallet is the first step in creating sound with a singing bowl. As explained by Science Made Simple UK, the friction created either by rubbing or striking a singing bowl creates vibrations. These vibrations create the sound we hear and can feel when holding the singing bowl. As you continue to rub the rim of the bowl, the friction keeps the sound going. This is called resonance. Resonance is the note we hear even after the player ceases contact between the singing bowl and the mallet.

To make matters a bit more complicated, the note we hear can differ between singing bowls and mallets. Most singing bowls are made from a bronze alloy of either copper, tin, zinc, iron, silver, gold, or nickel. The material with which the singing bowl is made can change the sound, as can the mallet. Crystal bowls will not sound the same as bronze alloy bowls. Wooden mallets and padded mallets will produce different sounds as well. The size, shape and weight of the singing bowl can also affect what tones are produced. Adding water will change the note of the singing bowl as water is more difficult to vibrate than the air inside an empty singing bowl. Cushions, rings, or other accessories also alter the sound of singing bowls, often dampening or softening the sounds. Despite these differences, how singing bowls work can be boiled down to a simple idea: excitation of the rim causes the singing bowl to vibrate, creating a rich tone.
