#தனித்திறமைகள்

                 Wonder if this comes under a special talent . Anyway allow me to show off. 

                   Since I shifted residence to Ashok Nagar in 2011 , I have become more health conscious. I will either go for long walks , work out in the gym or go to the Yoga class.  Yes a lot of healthy activities . Keeps you in a good mood due to the the endorphins released. 

                   Last year just as I was completing age 65 I got the chance to attend a yoga training session for asst. yoga teacher. Every morning for 40 days from 5.30 to 8. Sometimes even upto 9. With a breakfast break when we would have the Pongal Prasadam from the Anjaneya temple.😅

                    No pain no gain , and I found this to be very true. 

  

                       We were flooded with a deluge of knowledge on a variety of subjects. 

      I have never studied biology as I took MPC in 9 th. 

    

       Now I got to know about the skeletal system, the spinal cord, The Central nervous systems. The working of all glands and organs.

       Different asanas and mudras for diabetes , joint pain, backache  stomach ailments and of course for  reducing weight.

       Introductory classes to reflexology and acupressure. Naturopathy, where we learnt how to make some herbal kashayams.

 Nadis and Chakras . Some of us became so enthusiastic that we went on to a higher level chakra  meditation class later.

      Various Pranayamas and dhyana techniques including trataka meditation.

       All this and more .Like nationalism and patriotism. 

      The 8 parts of yoga ., Ashtanga yoga  . The  first 2 are called Yama and niyama and are actually moral science . Codes to live by.

      

        Okay enough showing off 😁

                 So in spite of eating in excess and and that too rich food I would keep myself healthy.   And that is my special talent . Cross my fingers 🤞🤞

                  Here are some pics from the classes.
