I will start the classes needed for this in October! I am very excited! This is something I have really wanted to do for quite some time. :) 1 month ago

Graduated from 200-hour Kripalu Yoga Teacher Training on Friday, June 15, 2012!! The training was SUCH an amazing experience—four weeks of class that turned out to be so much more than I had anticipated. Life changing! 11 months ago

I haven’t written much about this goal, but I defintely have not forgotten it! As I write this, I am sitting in the Albany airport awaiting the shuttle to Kripalu! I’ll spend the next two weeks there, and then another two weeks this summer, working on the RYT200 certification. I AM SO EXCITED!! 14 months ago

Ellesse, certified yoga teacher… like the sound of that :3 Write more soon! 23 months ago

Getting down to the nitty gritty. Exams are Wed/Thursday; theory exam is Wednesday and Practical is Thursday. I certify in 6 days :)

Namaste! 23 months ago

In fact, I have one requirement outstanding, so I won’t have my certificate signed today, but I will mark this goal complete and create a new goal of registering with Yoga Alliance. Once my last requirement is done, I’ll be able to complete that new goal.

Thanks for all your support and cheers. This goal has been on my list since the very beginning. I think I’ve probably given it up a few times, and in the beginning it was just a dream, and now I’m marking it done. It’s my second most cheered goal of all time at present. Thank you to all the 43Ters who have helped and encouraged me visualize this goal and then to open the door and step into the reality of it. Namaste. 2 years ago

and I’ve successfully come through most of it now. I’d like to write or blog more about it, but I’m finding it all difficult to put into words at the moment. Suffice it to say that in spite of some challenges, everything has gone beautifully and I feel ready to be a teacher now.

We have a few more classes to take tomorrow and then our graduation. I will still need to complete one class assist (on June 12th) to officially meet the program requirements and register with Yoga Alliance as a yoga teacher, but I am basically there. My heart is very full tonight. 2 years ago

Then I will be complete except for my last class assist (and there’s some wiggle room to do stuff on the weekend). I could possibly assist a teacher other than my mentor this week and get it done. Will think about that today. 2 years ago

Although I’m tired, I need to be diligent about going to the studio this week and working on my requirements.

My take-home written final has been submitted. I need to finish up my late flashcards/ scripting, and then I need to finalize my script for handing in. Next weekend is our anatomy exam, so I’ll be studying for that this week. Also next weekend, we teach our final class. 2 years ago
