身體鍛鍊的瑜珈是自國三開始,有柔軟度有肌耐力,但沒有心理的沒有靈性的,而真正接觸瑜珈是在2003年在上海的第一堂瑜珈練習,從靜坐到最後的大休息…..
認識瑜珈前的我是喜歡比較的,任何比賽我都要第一,從國中開始我拿了很多第一,包括工作,但在職場上人的鬥爭嚇到,感受到身心靈的不平衡,身體的極限,心理的壓力,心靈的恐懼,一直以來告訴自己沒有做不到的,甚至遇到做不到的體位法會責怪自己的身體。參加200小時師資培訓的過程,這種感覺更深,我從中發現會有這種態度是出自於我是運動員出身的關係,過程中我開始檢視觀察自己,漸漸我學著傾聽身體的聲音,這時才真正體會到瑜珈體位法對身體的改變及逐漸喚醒身體似乎已退化的自癒功能及免疫系統的能力。
瑜珈的練習,使我學會活在當下,也找到身體陰與陽的平衡,更學會如何保護自己及如何讓急躁的心利用呼吸法把自己沉澱下來,使現在的練習能享受每個體位法帶給身、心、靈的平衡。
教學部分:專注於呼吸,正念,有覺知的練習,不心急,不比較,量力而為(專注而放鬆),自在的愉悅於每一個當下。循序漸進的"當你呼吸急促時,請放鬆你的動作,可以簡化你的動作,但不可以簡化你的呼吸"(觀察你的呼吸),這會是Sally常在課堂上講的話,並運用肌力來保護你的關節。
瑜珈是結合,是愛,是角度,是藝術,是音樂的融入,更是上天的恩典,我會以謙卑的心分享永恆喜悅之道。

I started physical training in junior high school. Back then, I was eager to be stronger and flexible but knew nothing about spirituality. And then, in 2003, I had my first yoga class in Shanghai. It completely changed me.
Before I knew yoga, I was a very competitive person. I desired to be number one both at school and at work. I told myself there was nothing I could not achieve. I would even blame myself for not being able to do some postures. I tried to reexamine myself and listen to the voice inside. Only then I realized how yoga had affected my body, awakening my healing and immune systems.
Yoga practice helps me to live at the moment, to find the balance between yin and yang, and to protect myself from getting injuries. When you breathe deeply in the postures, your mind becomes clear and quiet, and you are filled with the joy in the practice.
I always teach my students to focus on their breath, and to practice with awareness. Never rush into poses. Never compete with other practitioners. Never go beyond your limitation. Relax. Modify the postures but never sacrifice your breath. Activate your muscles to protect your joints.
Yoga is to unite and to love. It is about different aspects of life. It is about art and music. It is the grace of God. I would love to share this eternal joy with humble heart.

上過這麼多老師的課,許多老師都會逐一解說每個動作的細節,而Sally老師是我第一個遇見在上課時會告訴我們體位法中每個動作之於身體與器官的關係,並且在每一個動作做到正確位置時,老師悅耳且穩定的一聲「beautiful!」都大大地增加了和學生們的互動;下課時收牌子也很熱情地對每一位同學說「謝謝你來」,感受得到老師對瑜珈生活的熱情與教學的認真。謝謝老師的付出與教導,讓我很期待每回的體位法練習。Namaste~
