I remember the first yoga class I attended here in Shanghai in 2005, I was in shorts and a tank top, looking back, I looked quite funny …before I cameto Shanghai, and I was making 400RMB per month. 200RMB drop-in for a yoga class back then was a sky-high number for me. Then I told myself “I will continue teaching myself yoga at home …” That's how I started self-taught yoga journeyin Shanghai… After 3 years of consistent home practicing, I found a newly opened studio named Namaste was doing a big promotion. 3 months unlimited for1999RMB I think (?), so I signed up immediately. I was so happy and excited; I was literally going there every single day and attending 2 or 3 classes EVERYday (I was a freelance at the time…). Grown up in a village of population of 600, and especially from a very poor family, I was always taught that if youreally want something, you have to work hard to get it. If there is an opportunity opens up to you, embrace it all and devote yourself wholeheartedly.I took advantage of this big opportunity and really tried all I could to learnas much as I could about yoga. And above all this, deep down, I know I just loveYoga. It is this love that was and still is driving me until today.
記得我在上海參加的第一節(jié)瑜伽課是在2005年。我當(dāng)時就穿著大短褲是在短和一件無袖襯衫…來到上海之前, 我每月賺400元。那時候，200元一節(jié)瑜伽課對我來說就是天價。然后我告訴自己“我要在家自學(xué)瑜伽…”這樣我就在上海開始自學(xué)瑜伽的旅程…經(jīng)過3年的練習(xí), 我發(fā)現(xiàn)了一家新開的瑜伽工作室在做一個活動－1999元3個月無限制上課。我當(dāng)時高興的都跳起來了。立即就注冊了。我當(dāng)時超級開心、超級興奮。我?guī)缀趺刻於既ド险n，一天上2或3類節(jié)課(因為當(dāng)時是自由職業(yè)所以非常的幸運)。我從小在一個不到600人的小村子里長大，家里又特別窮。所以，我總是被教導(dǎo)說，如果你真的想要什么，那你必須努力去得到它。如果有機(jī)會向你敞開，那就你就要去擁抱它并全心全意地去做好它。所以，我真的很好的利用了這次大好的機(jī)會，盡我最大的努力去練習(xí)和學(xué)習(xí)瑜伽。此外，最重要的是，在我內(nèi)心深處我一直知道，我早就已經(jīng)愛上瑜伽了。就是這種愛一直再驅(qū)使這自己。
