我一直相信，在阿汤练习中，凝视点、呼吸和根锁这些内在的练习，才是成长的关键。
I have always believed that the key to growth in Ashtanga practice lies more in the inner aspects - drishti, breath and bandhas, than the external aspects.
但很多的阿汤馆都过分关注体位法，因此我一直想要找一个让人能静心内观，老师有经验有智慧，更重要的是，不仅只注重体式，更加向内看的阿汤馆。
Unfortunately, a lot of Ashtanga studios are overly focused on asanas, so I've been looking for a place that is calming and inward looking, with experienced and wise teachers who can help me learn more than just asanas.
我太幸运，巴厘岛那么多瑜伽馆里，找到了这样的一家汤馆：Ashtanga Yoga Bali Research Center (AYBRC)
And I hit the jackpot - out of the hundreds of yoga studios in Bali, I found Ashtanga Yoga Bali Research Center (AYBRC).
正所谓“念念不忘，必有回响。”
I guess nothing is impossible for a willing heart.
这个名字很有趣，开始以为是指研究阿汤瑜伽，后来老师解释才知道，研究的对象原来是指自己：以阿汤作为工具自由探索自己，不东张西望，向外求答案。
The name is quite interesting. At first, I thought it was a reference to the research of Ashtanga yoga. Later, Prem explained that the object of research is oneself: using Ashtanga practice as a vehicle to explore yourself, by looking in rather than seeking answers from outside.
AYBRC的氛围是静谧的，我能比平日里更好地放空脑袋，进入内在层面；Prem 和Radha老师对体位的教授极为精准，但我不需要用小我去征服一个又一个体位。
AYBRC has a vibe that enables me to still my mind and focus inward much better than usual. Prem and Radha’s asana teaching was excellent but they made it crystal clear that there was no need to worry about just conquering asanas one after another , which to me is nothing more than ego strokes.
Prem和Radha也让我更加深刻地懂得，气喘吁吁心跳加速地做成一个卧龟式并不算是成就，也并不比下犬式更高级，重要的是我是否能在练习中专注在此刻的呼吸和感受到自己。
They also helped me understand that doing suptakurmasana while your heart pounding hard and breathing heavily is not necessarily an achievement and that the pose is not necessarily more significant than a downward facing dog. What matters more is whether I can focus on my breathing and be aware of myself throughout the practice.
我还领悟到，年纪看的不是外表和肉体，而是这个人的活力。
I also learned that age is not about your body and appearance, but your vitality.
在AYBRC，我总是被老师的活力和智慧滋养，无条件地信任和臣服于老师。
At AYBRC, I was always nourished by the energy and wisdom of my teachers. And I trusted them completely.
两周的时间太短暂了，但足够让我心里满怀愉悦，满怀对Prem和Radha的感激。
My two weeks practice at AYBRC flew by way too fast. But it was enough to fill my heart with joy and gratitude for Prem and Radha.
一期一会，非常感激，盼能再见。
Thank you…until next time.
