Posted: February 27, 2017 |
Blessed with nature’s abundance grandeur—visuals of snow-capped mountains, bright shining rivulets cutting through green meadows, rippling waterfalls, and beautiful souls of hill community people, Nepal is a country to behold for its beauty and cultural richness. Among these multifarious lures, Nepal also has the heritage of yoga. A way of life centered on peace, love, and serenity, yoga remains a path widely explored till the modern times. Let us see how the Himalayan venue of Nepal is a grand place to pursue yogic life: Yoga Teacher Training in Pokhara Nestling peacefully in the Annapurna Himalayan Range is the Pokhara valley. Surrounded by mirror-like lakes and verdant mountain forests, the little town is a niche of depthless peace. Yoga takes to a whole new level of meaningfulness when practiced here in this haven. The meditation becomes more effortless, the asana movements are complimented with happy vibes from the abundance of nature all around, and the blue sky representing the spiritual feels so close as though you can reach out with your hand. In this setting, we have a number of fine yoga teacher training courses being run in the town, providing excellent accommodation, proper food, comprehensive training with Hatha and Ashtanga, pranayama breathing, meditation and mantra awareness, and more. Traditional Indian Teachers Indian teaching methodology regarding yoga is a far call from the Western approach. To inject the values of yoga into the practitioner, Indian educators emphasize breath awareness as a continuous state of being. Self-discovery is encouraged with suitable practices—to schedule each day in a way to maximize meditation time, to make life decisions in tune with the greater ideal, to engage more and more in selfless service—each step must be dedicated to this goal of finding one’s true self. In contrast to Western yoga, spiritual significance of each act takes the center stage rather than superficial fitness or beauty. Meeting Point of Tibetan Buddhist and Hindu Spiritualism Filled with ancient history and archaic treasures, Nepal is an intriguing place for spiritual seekers. Here lies the confluence of Tibetan Buddhist mysticism and the advaita Vedanta values of the Hindu school. Here is believed to be the birthplace of Lord Buddha, in Lumbini. To further your spiritual education, you can explore the key attractions here—the Peace Stupa, Bodhi Tree, the Lumbini International Research Institute and museum, and a cluster of Buddhist temples to draw from archeological, scholarly, and social resources about this ancient spiritual culture. Alongside, you will find the Swayambhu Mandir perched on a hilltop in reverence to Lord Shiva. These shrines have immense symbolic value in the yogic way of life which you can discover and realize in depth on your visit to Nepal. Plenty of Adventure Tracks The beautiful hill country of Nepal is crisscrossed with trekking routes and adventure trails deep through wintry forests and Himalayan heights. As a yogi inspired in the path of self-discovery, love, and connection with nature you would have a multitude of opportunities to explore and through the process realize your own strengths and overcome your crippling fears. Find your chances to go trekking along the Annapurna circuit, enjoy pleasurable boat rides in the Phewa Lake of Pokhara, and to feast your senses with the vision of the mesmerizing Himalayas from Nagarkot.
