I need goals! This is great. Yoga is possibly one of the only things I naturally feel born to do. From here on out, I move towards the goal!

gaiagranolaranger is thinking about generosity
I’ve been researching the certified schools and their programs. Without the luxury of time to experience them all, it is difficult to choose. I am leaning toward a Sivananda school, though Kripalu and Anusara interest me as well. I haven’t set a date in my mind yet. Stay tuned!
Ash~ sing freely here comes the sun!

I figured it was high time to scribe an entry for this long-awaited goal…
Wouldn’t I, a nimbly, bimbly girl of college-age, want nothing more than to teach yogahhh ? Well…maybe. But how freeing this practice is. I’d love to devote a lot of my time to teaching everyone the poses and mediation of this ancient practice.
Anyone who knows me has seen me break out into a pose whenever my back starts to ache, or sink into the Lotus position to meditate whenever I get a mind’s peace.
I’m pretty sure that I wouldn’t devote this to a full-time career, but maybe something one the side, like Paul’s co-worker Pam, who teaches a half-hour class on her lunch. I think I’d like to be certified, just to be certified, so I can open myself up to new job opportunities and personal experiences.
I have been doing yoga at home for years but have decided that I will start taking regular classes with a quality teacher so that I can improve my practice and if I want to in two years (the req. for BWY) go for the teaching cert.
I am tempted to go to India and train there but I know it won’t really be recognised here, but it will be good practice and a holiday of sorts also, for a reasonable price.
Yoga has given me so much. I have accepted my body as the strong amazing thing it is. Even though I am a “plus sized” woman, I can do amazing things and I would love to help other women learn to love themselves and find their strength within.
This will be when I can have more energy and time to be dedicated to one thing.
all along i thought this was mine.
i thought that i wanted this.
but lo and behold, i think this belongs to someone else
or maybe it’s just not now.
when i struggle to get to my practice everyday and have no desire to do so…i have to start re-thinking whether this is really what i want…
i’m letting it go and if it comes back to me, then it is truly mine.
Well I have turned in my application to begin the 9 month certification through the Yoga Den.
I now have to call back the instructor and talk with her even though at the moment I don’t have any questions.
Besides that, I just need to wait till the classes begin in late August and come up with the deposit and work on my finances so I can afford the 5 payments for the class.
