点评:I feel incredibly grateful to have had the opportunity to study with Swami Atma.
I originally came to the ashram for Panchakarma as part of my journey toward healing my back. After many years of intense stress, I was struggling both physically and emotionally. Although I had practiced yoga for more than 15 years, undertaking the 500-hour teacher training became a much greater challenge than I had anticipated.
There were moments when I questioned whether I was physically capable of completing it. Swami Atma met those moments with patience, encouragement, and an unwavering belief in me. His support went far beyond teaching yoga—he encouraged me to listen to my body, respect the process, and keep going without forcing myself.
What touched me most was his ability to see the person behind the student. He understood that the training was part of a much deeper personal journey and supported me with genuine compassion.
Completing this training under his guidance has been one of the most challenging and meaningful experiences of my yoga journey. I leave with a deeper understanding of yoga and a renewed appreciation for patience, resilience, discipline and compassion.
Thank you, Swami Atma, for believing in me when I was struggling to believe in myself. Your kindness and support made a profound difference, and I will carry your teachings with me wherever my path takes me. 🙏

最初,为了治疗背疾,我来到静修中心接受潘查卡玛疗法。多年承受巨大压力之后,我的身体和情绪都陷入了极度疲惫的状态。虽然我练习瑜伽已有15年之久,但参与500小时的瑜伽教师培训还是比我预想的要困难得多。有些时刻,我甚至怀疑自己是否在体力上能够完成训练。斯瓦米·阿特玛以耐心、鼓励以及对我坚定不移的信念来应对这些时刻。他的支持远远超出了传授瑜伽技艺的范畴——他鼓励我倾听身体的声音,尊重训练过程,并且不强迫自己也要坚持下去。
最让我感动的是,他能够看到学生背后那个真实的人。他明白这项训练是我人生中一段更为深刻的成长历程的一部分,于是以真挚的同情心来支持我。
在他的指导下完成这项训练,是我习瑜伽生涯中最具挑战性也最有意义的经历之一。如今,我对瑜伽有了更深刻的理解,也对耐心、坚韧、自律与慈悲有了全新的认识。
斯瓦米·阿特玛,感谢您在我难以相信自己之时,依然选择信任我。您的善意与支持产生了深远的影响,无论我走到哪里,都会牢记您的教诲。🙏
