Isn’t It !? (A Yoga Poem) by Jo McParland

December 7, 2012

Isn’t It !?

Ignite the fires,
Strike up the band,
Cleansing all thoughts,
May I now stand?

In bright sunshine,
Or through waters clear,
Free from pain,
Of doubt or fear.

Let no shadow be cast,
Nor dullness grow,
From deep within,
Small seeds I sow.

The path leads on,
How it calls to me,
Poised to follow,
A dream set free.

Here in this moment,
Less the future and past,
I acknowledge all failings,
And release them at last,

Unchained from deep anguish,
How it tour at my soul,
No bindings or shackles,
Whole again I unfurl.

As onward I journey,
Baggage I leave well behind,
Stepping out from the darkness,
To myself… I shall find.

This Poem is dedicated to the Chiang Mai Yoga Teacher Training group of November 2012. It is a thank you to Daniel and Jeenal for their time, effort and encouragement throughout the training. It is also dedicated to the Yoga Institute in Mumbai, without which none of us would be on this particular path. Thank you all for making my time with you so special. Namaste!

A Note on Alternative Accommodations

To ensure every student can join our program, we have secured a limited number of beautiful alternative accommodations in the rare event that our on-site rooms are fully booked.

The alternative accommodations are simply a short, easy walk from our main venue. They are chosen for their standards of comfort and cleanliness, ensuring a peaceful retreat located just steps from your training venue.

You can feel confident that all of your training sessions and meals will still take place at the training venue. This thoughtful arrangement allows you to fully immerse yourself in your yoga journey without any hassle or inconvenience. You can enjoy the best of both worlds: world-class training and a truly authentic stay.
