In the blink of an eye, it is mid-October.
It has been a long time since I updated my blog.
In September, I was happy to visit new places and meet new people for the first time.
I took the ferry from North Vancouver to participate in a yoga workshop at Gibson. It was also my first time to meet up with a yoga teacher early in the morning and drive to the ferry and back for two days. It was nice to be able to look back on the content of the WS together in the car and on the ferry, taking notes and talking as only women can.
The theme of Yoga WS was “Yoga, wisdom and Aging.”
People in their 50's to 80's participated. I was surprised that one of them rode her bicycles from Vancouver to the ferry terminal in Horseshoe Bay and then to Gibson! There were several teachers, and it was encouraging to see how they accepted the fact that many things happened to them and they had to have surgeries and other restrictions, but they never gave up and used their wisdom to practice. Senior teacher Linda shared a lot of the content from Geeta's classes at Iyenga Yoga. We spent two days together doing asanas and breathing exercises and meditations in various ways in peace.

I will spend my time with these words of B.K.S. Iyenga. Happy days to you all.
あっという間に10月中旬。
久しぶりのブロク更新です。
9月は初めての所に行ったり、新しい出会いがあって嬉しかった。
ノースバンクーバーからフェリーでギブソンGibson で開催されたヨガWSへ参加。ヨガの先生と早朝から待ち合わせして車でフェリーに乗って、2日間往復したのも初体験。車やフェリーの中でWSの内容を一緒に振り返ってメモしたり、女性ならでのお話しも出来て良かった。
WSのテーマはYoga, wisdom and Aging (ヨガ、知恵、老化)。
50代から80代の方々が参加。なんとバンクーバーから自転車でホーシューベイのフェリー乗り場そしてギブソンまで来た方もいて驚き！何名かの先生方もいましたが、いろんな事が起こって、手術したりとか制限がある中で受け入れながら、諦めずに知恵を使って練習している姿は励まされました。シニアティーチャーのリンダ先生はアイアンガヨガのGeeta先生のクラスの内容をいっぱいシェアして下さいました。一緒に2日間いろんな方法でアーサナそして呼吸法と瞑想までしてピースな時間でした。
「I ALWAYS TELL PEOPLE LIVE HAPPILY AND DIE MAJESTICALLY.”
"私はいつも人々に、幸せに生きて堂々と死ねと言っています。"

私はこのB.K.S.アイアンガ先生のお言葉を胸に過ごそう。皆さんも毎日をハッピーに。😄🙏
