Day 2:  Yoga Teacher Training and Community Building in Monteverde, Costa Rica.

Our group was joined by the community at Rio Shanti for the Saturday morning Yoga practice.  I’m impressed by the strength of the women here, and I guess it is something that I take for granted until it was brought to my attention by a visiting teacher of Yoga teachers, who commented after our session of Yoga Sutra philosophy and Pincha Mayurasana.

“Wow, you have a lot of personalities in this group,” she observed.

“Yes, definitely a creative, inquisitive bunch.”

“Strong women,” she adds.

I suppose you must have strength and resolve to live in a community where the average pay is equivalent to $2 an hour and a typical mode of transportation is foot or mountain bike.  With challenges such as these, it is important to find creative ways of living in harmony with nature and one another.  What impresses me the most is the way the individuals in this community come together to support one another.  That’s one way to make  it through the elements and intricacies of life here.

Strong women…I would have it no other way!

To celebrate this strength, we practiced Diana-Ross-Ana (Dhanurasana) on Saturday.  Glad you could join us.

Love and strength from Monteverde!

PS…if you can’t see the video on this blog…I’m not surprised!  My technical mojo is a little tenuous still.  You can possibly see the link here.
