先月の1ヶ月間むンドにペガ留孊に行っおきたした。私の将来の倢がペガむンストラクタヌになるこずで、ペガの本堎むンドでRYT200ずいうペガ資栌を取っおきたした。毎朝2時間ペガレッスンを受け、午埌は3時間ペガの歎史を孊んだり、ペガポヌズ䞀぀䞀぀のやり方、泚意点、サポヌトの仕方などをむンド人の先生から教わりたした。

埌半2週間はペガ哲孊の授業も入り、ペガの哲孊的な考え方を孊びたした。たた、アヌナルノェヌダずいう自然治癒で病気を治したり、予防したりする䌝統医療を珟地のドクタヌから受けたした。ペガも哲孊もアヌナルノェヌダも党お珟地の経隓豊富な先生から孊んだずいう貎重な䜓隓をするこずが出来たした。

今回の留孊のメむンはペガだったので最埌に卒業詊隓でペガむンストラクタヌ詊隓を行いたした。
緊匵したしたが、1ヶ月孊んだ事を生かし、自分も生埒さんも楜しめる自分らしいペガレッスンを行うこずが出来お倧満足でした

たた1ヶ月、ペガだけではなくむンド生掻も楜しみたした。幎に1床行われるホヌリヌ祭りずいうお祭りに参加したり、本堎のカレヌをたくさん食べたり、䞖界遺産に行ったりずむンドを満喫したしたたた、倚くの人ずの玠敵な出䌚いがあり、たくさんの人に支えられ、助けられた1ヶ月でした。

むンドに着いた初日は環境の違いず寂しさで倧号泣し、今すぐ垰りたいず思っおいたしたが、日々むンドで過ごしおいくず倚くのむンド人、珟地の日本人の優しさに救われ、むンドが倧奜きになり、垰る頃にはただ垰りたくないずいう気持ちに倉わっおいたした。

むンドは危ない危険な囜だずいうむメヌゞを持っおいる人は倚いず思いたすし、私も行く前はそうでした。しかしそんなこずありたせん困っおいる人を助けるずいう気持ちをむンドの人は自然に持っおいお困っおいるずすぐに助けおくれる玠敵な囜です。

むンドで1ヶ月過ごすず自分ももっず倉わらないずいけないず考えさせられたした。たた必ずむンドに垰ろうず思いたすたた、倢だったペガむンストラクタヌを取埗するこずが出来たので、今埌倧孊でもペガレッスンが出来ればず考えおいたす英語でペガレッスンが出来れば曎に英語孊習のモチベヌションも䞊がりたすむンドで過ごした1ヶ月は私の人生の宝ず玠敵な経隓になりたした。

I went to India for a month last month to study yoga. My dream is to become a yoga instructor, so I went to India, the home of yoga, to get a yoga certification called RYT200. I took yoga lessons for two hours every morning and learned the history of yoga for three hours in the afternoon. I also learned how to do each yoga pose, what to pay attention to, and how to support myself from Indian teachers.

The second half of the two-week course also included a yoga philosophy class, where we learned about the philosophical concepts of yoga. We also received Ayurveda, a traditional medicine that uses natural healing to cure and prevent illness, from a local doctor. It was a valuable experience for me to learn yoga, philosophy, and ayurveda all from experienced local doctors.

The main focus of this study abroad program was yoga, so at the end of the program, I took the yoga instructor exam for graduation. I was nervous, but I was very satisfied that I was able to make use of what I had learned for a month and give a yoga lesson that was unique to me and that both I and other students enjoyed!

I also enjoyed not only yoga but also life in India during the month. I participated in the annual Holi festival, ate a lot of authentic curry, visited world heritage sites, and enjoyed India to the fullest! It was also a month in which I had wonderful encounters with many people and was supported and helped by many people.

On the first day I arrived in India, I cried a lot because of the difference in environment and loneliness, and I wanted to go home right away. However, as I spent time in India every day, the kindness of many Indian people and the local Japanese people saved me, and I came to love India, and by the time I left, I did not want to go home.

think many people have the image that India is a dangerous country, and I was like that before I went there. But that is not true! It is a wonderful country where people have a natural inclination to help those in need and are quick to assist those in trouble.

Spending a month in India made me think that I need to change more. I will definitely return to India again! In addition, I was able to obtain my dream of becoming a yoga instructor, and I hope to be able to give yoga lessons at universities in the future! If I can give yoga lessons in English, I will be even more motivated to learn English! The month I spent in India was a treasure of my life and a wonderful experience.
