What struck me about Lisa s blog - and if you like Japan at all, you will really enjoy reading about her daily adventures living there - is the similarity between what she says about Ashtanga students in Japan, which echoed what Govinda Kai said in his post, .
From Lisa:
I have been impressed with the yoga students here in Japan. More than anywhere else I have taught, there is a natural humility and a deep respect for whoever is teaching This quality makes the process of learning very special, both for the student and for the teacher.
Additionally, I have been impressed by the level of dedication, passion and work ethic that is present in a large number of Japanese yoga students It is clear to me that the deepest levels of yearning for the fruits of yoga practice (truth, expansion and liberation) are very high.
Lisa and Mindy,
