Teacher Training 1st Weekend

I am so glad that I ran the free weekend of yoga that was 19 hours of teachings from Friday through Sunday, on the same schedule that I ran this first weekend of the Yoga Teacher Training.

This made me far more prepared for the balance between theory and movement, so that the teachers to be were not falling asleep or far too overloaded to continue into theory.

Having this opportunity to help bring more teachers into the world of teaching yoga is a huge honor and one that brings a very humbling feeling. I get to learn while teaching and this past weekend has been a milestone in my development as a yogi and a participant in the community.

What yoga has done for me in the context of my life is beyond the scope of being able to articulate within posts on a blog, I can only give mere reflections to the depth of transformation that have taken place within me.

I feel as though the Lotus flower is a great analogy...
I am a seed in the depths of the mud and I have germinated, through a struggle I break through the surface of this muddy depth and start to grow upwards through a dirty water to break the surface and reaching towards the light where I blossom, and as dirt tries to cling to the beauty of my petals it is repelled....

Not in all the years of my life have I imagined that this is where I would be at.
