After finishing her studies of physical education in college, Vivian L. began teaching aerobic dancing. In 2007 she attended 200hr yoga teacher training taught be Stephen Thomas, and later learned Universal Yoga with Andrew Lappa. After repairing her knee joint after a car accident, her view of yoga transformed entirely.
In modern lifestyle, our six sense organs, meaning the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind, are continuously on the run in the external world. The mind is always like a restless monkey that never stops moving, and the purpose of yoga practice is to help tame our rigid mind. With the practice of concentration, sensitivity and awareness on the mat, Vivian L. found that she began to have a new eye for all little things going on in life.
Throughout 12 years of yoga teaching, she keeps reminding her students that asana practice is not a competition but an internal practice. It is about controlling and connecting our body, thoughts, emotions and energy, so that we can observe our bodies quietly after practice. Balancing is a big part of her own asana practice. While improving flexibility, she also focuses on training strength for stability in the movements, which creates stability of the body and therefore a state of balance. Some students may doubt the importance of muscle stability, but Vivian L. has learnt her lesson in a car accident. Without the stability that she had built in her yoga practice, it could have been much more than just the breaking of the ligaments, and the stability factor of her yoga practice definitely facilitated the subsequent rehabilitation. Such experience made her appreciate yoga even more.
