Mystical Angels

How would you deal with this?

For many years I attended a yoga studio with a special, mystical atmosphere, in a particular building which had character. Recently, my teacher was forced out of it, to a much smaller, less pleasant venue, due to the high cost of rent. The loss has been too much for me, as I lost a special place which was like a haven from the world's troubles. Can I really replace it, with something else, or do I need to give up the old times, and old place, and situation, totally, in my mind? However, the teacher is rather special, with her advice, and philosophy on life...

  2. Move on. Find the special place within yourself. - you can take that anywhere with you and noone can take it. Its a new beginning. Much like I found out, returning to my martial art. Sometimes you cant go back.
  3. find a different place that you like to take yoga. try some out. you may have to switch teachers.
  4. it depends on what you need change can sometimes be good give it a try
  5. The trouble is in life, Is nothing ever stays the same. Everything happens for a reason and perhaps you need to try and accept this has been and gone in your life, Find another activity or if you want to carry on with Yoga find another studio, This one you went to isn't the only one in the world. You need to move on from this hun. And meet new people, there is always something good round the corner. xx Good luck
  6. If your yoga and/or meditation is working, what does it matter where you do it???
  7. Losing a sanctuary is always difficult. But, often it is learning to manage that loss that makes us stronger. And, the bottom line is that the actual sanctuary is in our spirituality not in the four walls around us.
  8. If you see yourself as one who is committed to your instructor,..."Off with the old and on with the new!" Move on. Keep supporting her if her sessions kicks a$$... After a whle, you will get used to it. Try doing your yoga with your eyes closed most of the time (as much as possible) and just feel the relaxation of the moment. If you are not that much of a die hard fan of the teacher and you have no problems moving elsewhere, start looking and asking around for a place that has similar feel of the old one you loved so much. If you can afford it with no problems, go for it! Satisfying you and your yoga needs is worth it! Good luck! (But I thnk it all depends on what you want...a) to maintain the support of your old teacher, or b) to find and keep your yoga sanctuary to help you maimtain your inner peace!
  9. Basically, you need to decide whether giving up the location and keeping the teacher is better than giving up the teacher and looking for a new location. Remember that you will probably never find a location that is exactly like the old one, and it may be really hard to find a teacher you really like.
  10. that expereince will always be imporatant to you and hold a special place. but it was just one part of life. this is how things go. i'm sure you'll move on and find something new in no time.
  11. First of all....be clear about the schemes of ur new Yoga school, ask indirectly from ur teacher.....if there is any such strategy available there, that can shift students according to there will............ok???? Then i'd just say atleast give it a chance, check, ... just let it go... Dont rely on anything to such an extent. u mayy find this new place more exciting after sometime. Listen everything happens for a good rzn... if God is giving u chance to shift here, there may b something good hidden herel. try to settle...make new frends etc....
  12. you have decide if the place was more important to you ot the guidance from the teacher. if it was the teacher, continue going to the other place, but if it was the setting of the last place you may have to fin another place where you can relax
  13. Well, that sucks. I would deal with it by continuing the classes and seeing if I could adapt to the new place. Probably I would.
  14. This is problem that we all face one way or another. Finding a little sanctuary is one of the most wonderful experiences. I found one at the local library. A little brick building in a park. A quiet sort of olde worlde place. Then a new librarian moved in. She was nice but very loud and never stopped talking. Her constant noise filled the little building. It's just not the same. I still go for the books but the atmosphere is lost. I'm still looking for another sanctuary. It is temporarily my garden or park, now but I just keep looking. I'll find one. Sanctuaries come and they go. They can even get better.
