Just keep on practicing and the practice will take you there !

As the year is nearly coming to a close  , I am reflecting back on the whole 2014, and oh yes it has been some fast ride with plenty of challenging waves , but where there is a will there is a way . Our paths crossed with so many new people , through the topic of Yoga  and as  we got to work together , me sharing my experience and knowledge and them been sincere seekers , it has given  me so much joy and motivation to keep on teaching as i receive the feedback that the practices and the yogic philosophy , combined with the lifestyle that i am inspiring them to  adapt , has been a tremendous help to make realizations and face and sort out  all challenges from a different perspective.
And I  am ever so happy to let you know that my Yantra Yoga teacher Laura Evangelisti , has allowed me to get a supervision and after that to be examined by my master Chogyal Namkhai Norbu , in late January 2015 , to become an authorized Yantra Yoga teacher.
In the meantime I am teaching all week round all levels of Satyananda Yoga that I am a Diploma Holder .
Sending you all my best wishes , and inspiring you to keep on practicing with Faith and Respect and allow with trust the practices to take each and every one of you where you are meant to be .
Until i speak to you again Be  PRESENT and Work with Circumstances.
Lots of Love
Lilian

Yantra Yoga The Tibetan Yoga of Movement !

The past 2 years i have been studying and practicing Yantra Yoga the Buddhist parallel of the Hathayoga of the Hindu tradition. Yantra yoga is  a very ancient system of yoga entailing body movements , breathing exercises and visualizations and  was first taught in Tibet in the 8th century. It was orally transmitted  by the great master Padmasambhava  to the Tibetan translator and Dzogchen master Vairochana.It was first brought in the west by Chogyal Namkai Norbu in the earlyl 70's and by staying very very close to the tradition its value is still alive for us. Rinpoche taught this method because he thought it was very helpful for people. Foe anyone , it does not matter if you are buddhist or no buddhist , if you are spiritual or not spiritual , if you are old or young , flexible or not. What is important is that through this practice we can coordinate out energy. Many problems in our life is because our energy is not harmonious. So if we can coordinate our energy this can be beneficial for everyone. And how we do that in Yantra yoga ? Through the movement of the body , the correct breathing and relaxing finally our mind.  I did my teacher's training level 2 this August and while waiting to be an authorized Yantra yoga teacher by my Master Chogyal Namkai Norbu i am allowed to teach Yantra yoga level 1 to my already existing students.

Off for my Tibetan Yoga teacher's training level 2 !!!

The 2nd term of 2014 has been completed on Thursday July 31st , and off i go to study Yantra Yoga , the Tibetan Yoga of movement which i have been studying and practicing since 2012 as a continuation of my 12 year Satyananda Yoga training and my 8 year non stop all year young teaching .I am feeling content and ready for a new boost of energy and inspiration. Wishing you all a happy August holiday ,keep up with your practices together with your holiday and see you back in  September. Since my macbook crashed on tuesday and just got it back i have lost all data so no photo to add.. Sending you all my love with lots of new photos and inspiration when we meet again . Love Lilian.

HAPPY SUMMER TO ALL SEE YOU BACK IN SEPTEMER !!

A few more days and we are competing the 2nd term of 2014 with gratitude and love.

Its been a very rewarding year, learned a lot from our interaction  and feeling so content for sharing the love . Classes continue throughout July and we meet again with joy in September. Wishing you all a happy summer holiday keeping your sadhana alive together with the rest of your activities. Lots of love Lilian .
As today is the auspicious full moon that we celebrate our inner and outer teacher , i am attaching a picture with my teachers Swami Sivamurti Saraswati and Swami Niranjan Saraswati  in Colombia Cartagena where i received my final initiation in the Saraswati tradition , in karma sannyas.
