Yoga Teacher Training… To Be or Not To Be?
Well, I know I haven’t witten in a while. I’d say I’ve been busy–and not that that isn’t true–but also I’ve found other things to do in my spartan spare time… yoga, knitting, Eleanor… excuses, excuses. Well, I wrote a while ago about quitting my job to take care of Eleanor full-time. I still do that and, when I can tear myself away from my knitting for long enough, I take yoga classes at night.
Yoga, for me, has become a kind of way out of the hectic and child-centered life I currently lead. I love my life, but I have to balance the time I spend focusing on and caring for others (namely, children who scarcely can return the many favors I do them in a day) with some “me time.” Yoga, therefore, is not just an exercise in stretching myself physiclly to the limit, but a means of mentally and emotionally bringing myself back from the limit.
With all that said, I committed to doing a six-month yoga teacher training program. Ever since th demo job I had with Horizon, I’ve felt very comfortable with the public and I quickly gainined a real sense of confidence a leadership role. So, I thought I’d make a great teacher. But, there’s just one snag: I just received word that there may not be enough people signed up for the program to go on. I had planned to get back into blogging by writing about the process of becoming a yoga teacher. Here’s hoping…
