We are the Gardeners (2)……. Love and Light
During the TT level 1, John had recommended the book to the student name “How Yoga Works”. The book is talking about what is the real yoga and how to share the yoga to the people around us and the main point is how yoga works on our daily life. During this course we talk about this book again….and mentioned that we should share and teach “yoga” to the others if we have a chance.
Roee, the young guy from Israel, did the good job about teaching. Roee just studied yoga about one year, we can say that he is the newest yogi among us and never teach yoga. But after he listened to John and read the book, he got inspiration about teaching and he tried his best… and…. he did the nice job.

Roee got two students; there are Shiho, the young girl from Japan, who also stayed in Fell worth house during her trip around NZ and Alexandra, dentist from Serbia, who works as the house manager and run dental clinic in the back side of the house. Roee told me that Shiho and Alex are very curious about yoga and the life style of yoga student. So they were very happy and willing to learn when Roee offered them a yoga class. I was invited to observe the class and Roee asked me to give him the suggestion about teaching after the class. For me, the things that happened during the class were very amazing thing. Shiho and Alex never practice yoga before and Roee never teaches before so this was their first time. And I can tell you that Shiho and Alex are not normal people….they were very stiff …..super stiff. But it was very nice to see three of them worked together. Roee tried his best to pass whatever he learnt from John and from his own practice to his students. Shiho and Alex, learnt and practiced with the opened-mind with no doubt. During the class I could not see the very beautiful poses from Shiho and Alex and could not see the grace manner of the great teacher form Roee….so…what was I see in the class?
I saw “LOVE and LIGHT” in the class. Three of them worked together with “LOVE and LIGHT” Roee LOVE to share or plant the yoga seed or LIGHT into the heart of his students. Shiho and Alex LOVE to receive the seed or LIGHT with their opened-mind. That was the beautiful thing which I really want it to happen in my class.
LOVE and LIGHT…. I always say to my student during the philosophy class that you have to start with LOVE. Whatever you like to do, just do it with your love, don’t do it or start it with….. Because……because you want to earn money, because you want to be a great yoga teacher so you do this….do that. There are lots of pressures and you will not be able to be happy with the result. But if you start with love… love to find the light or seed of knowledge, wisdom, and plant it into your heart then have a good take care of it. When the time come, the seed grow up, the light is radiant…pass this seed or light to your students, teach them how to take care the seed or light in their heart and pass it to the next generation as same as the Gardeners take care their seed in their farm. For the yoga seed you need to plant it into your heart and take care them with love and pass them to your students….so you are the Gardeners.
