After countless chaturangas, I figured that when this morning rolled around that I wouldn’t be able to move. But I didn’t really notice how sore I was until I had crawled up 4 fights of stairs to get to work Monday morning. All the while trying to catch my breath while my legs burned.
Some asked me why I would ever do such a thing, spending 28 hours a weekend doing yoga type things and some encouraged me. I decided to listen to the encouragement, take a leap, do something for me. And I am so glad that I did. In less than three days, I have become part of a really great community, already at ease to share thoughts, ideas and experiences. Being with so many like minded people is such a great experience.
Friday afternoon was very nerve racking looking at the clock every 5 minutes until 4:15 hit so that I could head off to training. All I could think about was the email I had received at the beginning of the week telling me a couple things I could expect that night.
After having spent the weekend with the group, I have no idea why I was so nervous. I’ve learned a lot already and met some really great people.
I now can start teaching my friends yoga! After this weekend, I know that I need work on my volume and be more engaging. While I thought I was taking really loudly, everyone else did not.

Why not?! It’s time for a change! I don’t need to be the one chilling in the corner, I can step up and be the center of attention, talk loudly and
Its only the first weekend, but already I can tell that, this is worth the experience. I’ll wait to recommend it to anyone until, I finish the program, but I have a feeling I know what the answer will be!
