Today is the day that my life changes. Apparently. At least that is what everyone has said about Yoga Teacher Training. LIFE CHANGING! So here we go. Class starts tonight, 6:30 to be exact, so I thought I would document my journey to see if, in fact, it is life changing. Or something.
I started a written journal too but thought I would try this as well to see which one works better for me. Another thing we will find out. I may learn a lot about myself over the next 8 weeks. 8 weeks. 200 hours. 3 days of classes. Scary.
Scary is just one of the many emotions I am feeling right now. Scared. Excited. Nervous. Nauseous. Afraid. Timid. Guilt. Huge on the guilt. YTT isn’t cheap. And this $ could be used for other things. Gymnastics for example. Wow, we got into more payments there. Meets aren’t cheap, then we have to travel too. And those damn student loans are out there too. (Boy was I dumb). And also guilt for the time away from my family. 3 nights seems like a lot. Saturday is 9-5 so I’ll have all evening & all day Sunday. But remember, it’s only 8 weeks.
I have wanted to do this for awhile. I have been thinking of doing YTT for a while, and I tried to figure out how much to save each month in order to do it, but I never saved the dough. Then Alli mentioned it to me when this new session opened up and she lit the spark. After long thinking & discussing, and research I finally told Will that I wanted to do it. Such an amazing guy to understand and let me do it. To help me do it.
So, here I go. I have no idea what to expect. Which is probably good, since no expectations = not getting let down. I have a lot of “What Ifs” A LOT! But I am trying to change my mindset, and I have repeatedly told myself “I AM A YOGA TEACHER”. Which I kind of am.
Kids Yoga. I took a training over the summer for kids yoga & finally had my first class last month. and I LOVED IT! It was so much fun. The kids were so adorable. I can’t wait to do it again. Please let me do it again. Honestly, I want to keep doing it in order to have the kids get what I get. To understand the philosophy. We are all in this together. Be nice. Be kind. Look out for others. Especially for the girls. I want them to understand that. More than anything. So I kind of am treating this new adventure like a parenting class. Ha!
Ok, so here we go. Just getting through this day to get me to my first class.
