Yoga and the Turtle

Good day, blog friends.

♥

Thanks so much for your sweet and supportive comments last week when I announced that I'm taking classes to become a yoga teacher. I felt so happy knowing that you were happy for me. :o) The good news is that I made it through the first week of classes and I absolutely LOVE it! I am definitely right where I belong.

I am now up to my elbows in yoga books and terminology, and doing my best not to feel overwhelmed by the list of assignments due between now and December 21st. Hey, it's just yoga after all. No need to get worked up about it. Besides, I technically have two full years to complete the course work if I choose, and while I'd love to proclaim that it will all be done before the last class in December, I'm going to remain optimistic and realistic. I'm soaking it all in and trusting the natural progression of things.

One of the assignments I'll be presenting at the end of my training is an example of how I practice yoga off the mat in my day-to-day life. It's an open assignment, meaning we can do whatever we want with it, so I've decided to document my yoga journey with a blog feature called "Yoga and the Turtle." I'll save those posts and photos into an online source and have them printed in a book at the end of my training.

That should cover two bases: 1) making time to blog, and 2) satisfying my desire to share yoga on this blog space. I do hope you'll enjoy learning a little bit about yoga as I work my way through my teacher training. It's a pleasure to have you along for the journey.

Peace out, my friends.
