Hey, I'm close to making the choice to come to Korea for a second round. Since my last time, I've certified to teach Sivananda Yoga. What are the chances of opening a class there?

Just curious.

Don't know how popular it is, but they teach it here:

Where will you be?

[fibergirl]

I would be interested in a class at least once a week schedule permitting. That is if you are somewhere close to me. I live in Sanbon/Gunpo area. I also think that a few (at least 2) of my co-workers would be inerested. Also I am unfamiliar with the syle you are talking about. I have been doing hatha yoga off and on for a while now is it anything like that?

[Omkara]

Well, I'm not sure if it'll happen yet. I've got to think through the variables. But I think I'd like to go to someplace like Pusan, where there will be a variety of people.

Any suggestions?


As for the style, it is classical, with a lineage reaching back to Shankar, the founder of the Vedanta monistic philosophy. Sivananda yoga retains the spirtiual aspirations of yoga, so it is a complete system for moving in the direction of samadhi.

You can find it on the internet. They have ashrams around the world.

Nice link, oigirl. I'll look into that. Thanks.

I think people would be interested. If you move to Busan, let me know! Just watch out for immi. You would be violating your visa status.

Thanks. I'll keep that in mind.

But I also consider just finding a place where I can just teach as a volunteer. Mostly, it'd be a chance to connect some like-minded people.

But, if I could use it as a way to teach English, there may be a way to do it legally.

Even as a volunteer, you are violating your visa status. Check out all the stuff on the "Busan 9" lately. The cops/immi are now saying even volunteering is not legal. Oh, Korea...
