新宿での初心者レッスンに、カナダ・トロント在住の日本人&カナダ人カップルが、5/19にきてくれました。素敵な感想をいただきました。ありがとうございます。
昨日は、友達が教えているヨガのクラスへ飛び入りさせてもらった。
最初に体と呼吸を整えてから、少しづつ呼吸とポーズで温めていく(「体の中に火をおこす」)過程がほどよく緩やかで、初心者の私でも、気がつかぬうちに、汗を結構かいているけれど心はリラックスしていて集中もしている、みたいな状態になっていて、「ここに到達したいのか、ヨガ!」というのが少しわかった気がした。
クラスの最後に目を閉じながら聞く、先生の唱えるAUM(オーム)が体にずずーーんと深く優しく響く、不思議体験付き。

A lovely married gay couple from Toronto, Canada joined the beginner class in Shinjuku on May 19, 2019. Got a wonderful comment. Thank you. I would like to share it with you.
Hiroshi, a friend of mine in Tokyo who teaches yoga, let us join one of his classes yesterday.
I’m a complete beginner, but Hiroshi effectively led me into a state of calmness and concentration (even though I was sweating good, and my legs were shaking to keep each pose..) with his gentle and steady “building up fire (in the body)” process. I had a few “Ah, that makes sense” moments during his session.
At the end of the class, Hiroshi recited AUM to the whole class and I felt the vibration went through my body deeply and gently… It was such a strangely pleasant sensation. Really cool.
