Well... I'm back!

My initial plan was to post  once in a while during my stay at the Sivananda Kutir Ashram during my TTC (short for Teacher's Training Course). But, as it often happens things don't go as planned. 
There was absolute no internet connection at the ashram, there was not even a land line.
When I think about it now I have to admit that it was a good thing and that it makes all the sense. Plus I'm not really sure where I would have find time to sit down at the computer since we were busy from 5 am to 10 pm.
I will try to share my experience in the next posts. 
But bare with me sometimes it might seem very dry...the truth is - and this is what our teacher told us just before the graduation ceremony- that you will only feel the effects of what you did here during this past month later on, maybe once you go out of the ashram, maybe next week, maybe next month maybe in 10 years...which is not a bad thing at all!

Having come back to this side of the world I do feel that this experience was/is much bigger than what I was able to grasp. And it is not that I feel a major change in my life, after all I have been practicing yoga for the last 10 years, but it is in the little things. Change, real structural change, always comes in small doses, and gently settles in you, gaining space within you and when you realize it is already there to stay.
