More about our Teacher Training this Summer!

cilla — Tue, 17 Apr 2012 12:22:30 +0000

Gregor & Claire from Divine Play Yoga explain their philosophy on being and becoming an amazing yoga teacher. Sign up today whether you are working toward teaching yoga or just living a more abundant life!

The ancient Sanskrit word “Lila” means “Divine play”.

The delight and enjoyment of each moment. The appreciation that each moment will never occur again in the same way. We are all connected to this Source of play, this Source of love. In fact, the yogis say it is this realization that frees us of our imaginary bondage.

Divine Play Yoga cultivates trust in the instinctual flow of Life. The creation, preservation, destruction and re-creation of your life day-by-day.

A self-consumed, worrisome and domesticated habit of mind gives way to a life that is inspired, natural,flowing and free.

Divine Play Yoga supports this exchange by allowing ourselves to encounter and expand our daily life with the fluidity of improvisation. Or, to put it another way, to feel the spontaneity that comes with the courage to experience our own nature. To allow for the emotional freedom that is felt when life is not something we try to beat back, grind through or tranquilize ourselves from the hold it grips us with. Instead, to feel life as one experience after another. In turn, no matter what the circumstances may be, feeling equipped and in full readiness.

The heart of Divine Play Yoga is to remove the blocks and obstacles to the natural flow of each person’s life force. To thereby stand available and open to the spontaneous creation that comes from our deepest being.

Working with us means you will focus yourself as a person who is becoming better at who you already are. Who you are is already within you but choked off. Our trainings do not build you up, improve you or give you better strategies. Our events encourage you to let go of the fears and impediments that deny the playfulness, risk and innocence that make you the special and unique expression you are.

If this uniqueness is denied it will be lost .The world will not then have the benefit of your expression to play life forward. More importantly, the world will never get to be fully experienced through you, the Source that lights up the world while it creates it.

Yoga is going well. I have been going twice a week and am seeing improvement. One of the advantages of regular attendance is you learn how to manage the discomfort. In case you haven’t noticed it is very hot in the studio. This is good for flexibility but requires a bit more focus to avoid falling, slipping or even worse passing out. I believe this is called your dristi (sp?)

I am becoming more adept at dealing with the fatigue and heat, that is until this past weekend. It was a friends birthday and we celebrated at the Lake Bluff Brewery. A few or so beers seemed reasonable. The next day I thought a good sweat would be the perfect solution to what ailed me. When all was said and done I felt much better having sweated out all the toxins, but at a price. I couldn’t come close to the twisting and balancing I had been doing, I had no dristi(sp). Still worth it though. Yoga is teaching me to appreciate the good workouts as well the not so good ones, both have there purpose.

My hope is that by becoming a regular at Forever Om, I’ll become more flexible, have a stronger core and be injury free. All that twisting and sweating should do it. I’m now able to touch the floor easily and feel my hips loosening. I don’t fall down as easily.

I have come to appreciate another aspect of yoga which I’m told is very very important. The rest time at the end. I think it’s called shivasana which as best I can tell means to nap in sweat. Even better last Sunday I not only got a quick snooze but also some chocolate. Sometimes during shivasana the yogi rubs some type of scented oil on you. My wife likes this but I prefer the chocolate.

I’m still in it for the stretching but the nap and snack is awesome.
