Wow, I can't believe the day has finally come! When James and I started our yoga training in August, we thought Christmas Eve was so far away. Now here we are and we just finished our class. It feels surreal. Towards the tail end, I found myself wishing that the class didn't have to end and I wanted it to continue.
We learned a lot of valuable information and I need to take the time to put my notes in order and thoughts down on paper.
While this was a teacher training course, I don't feel ready to teach yoga. This is because I don't want to teach the physical asanas and do not feel that I'm yet in the condition to do so. I want to spread the yoga that we learned and in order to do that, I need to do some major reflection.
Top 3 things from our class that I'd like to remind myself of:
1) The yoga that we know is not fully yoga - the physical poses or asanas are only one of the eight limbs of yoga
2) Don't beat yourself up because you can't get into that perfect pose. They take practice and every day I know I get stronger and more flexible
3) Yoga is a way for me to learn to control my energy. Everything is energy and I don't want to exert my energy on unnecessary things
