• Atman

    The Atman or Atma (IAST: Ātmā, sanskrit: आत्म‍ ) is a philosophical term used within Hinduism and Vedanta to identify the soul. It is one's true self (hence generally translated into English as 'Self') beyond identification with the phenomenal reality of worldly existence.

    overcome

    By heather | February 18, 2010

    I had a great post I was going to write about teacher training last weekend…how amazing the Sanskrit professor was and how much I enjoyed anatomy while bonding with my group and doing lots and lots of yoga.  (I ended up solving the high maintenance problem by succumbing to my natural hair curl and using headbands, and it wasn’t even a big deal.)

    Unfortunately, the kids came back from the in-laws with a sort of stomach flu thing, and have been home with me in various levels of sick the whole week. Today everything is back to normal but it’s already Thursday and by now I’ve lost some of the “I heart yoga and the world and everything in it” buzz, not to mention losing almost a week’s worth of actual non-yoga related work (you know, the stuff that pays my mortgage).

    Tomorrow starts another weekend of training. Suffice to say, I am so happy to be doing this and have found things in common with everyone in my class. I may have lost some of the immediate high but definitely find myself more deeply in thought and more aware of every action…working at keeping my brain connected to my heart and keeping my ego (in the yogic sense) out of the way is teaching me so much about parenting and just…living.

      That sounds absolutely wonderful! And I’m glad to hear the kids are on the mend, too.
