Practice and all is coming -- Sri K. Pattabhi Jois
WHEE update!
I have been all over the yoga lately, but not all over the WoYoPracMo updates! So here I am to address that! :)
The big news is that I have (sort of) FINISHED my teacher training program!!! This past Sunday was our last day of training. I still need to finish my class assists (three more to go!), take my final exam, and make up the training weekend I missed, but I can start teaching now, AND I'm not required to go to three classes a week any more! I mean, I love taking three classes a week, but when I HAVE to, even if I'm having a super busy week or something, it's so much harder! I'm hoping to get a class soon at my studio, since they're opening a couple of new locations, and I'm working on (nicely) pressuring my friends into scheduling private lessons with me.
Now that I'm a qualified instructor and all, I'm working on developing the business side of my yoga teacher-ness. So far, this has basically consisted of coming up with a name (Yoga Loves You!), starting a blog (yogalovesyou.blogspot.com--anyone wanna trade links? ;) ) and a Facebook page for yoga, applying for liability insurance, and telling my friends and labmates that I would offer them discounted classes. Modest, yes, but it's a start. :)
Really, though, I just wish I could go back on yoga retreat. We had our training retreat the weekend before last at our teacher's house, and it was pretty freaking awesome. I went on a juice fast (me! a juice fast! CRAZY!) and did lots of yoga and got to unplug and it rocked pretty hard.
I think that's all I have for now! I'm assisting beginner series again on Thursday night, and that's always a lot of fun. Beginners are so great!
