MY FIRST ENTRY

This is my first journal entry out of yoga teacher training. It took me a week to get something going.
Teacher training was an intense and amazing experience. It took me a week to get back to "normal". I feel a renewed sense of myself however. I really had a lot of doubts about training and wondered if I would be a good teacher. But I am glad I did it. I don't get any satisfaction in my real career and now I feel there are options. I don't have to do something I hate forever.
I really want to give to students even some small iota of what I have received from my regular yoga practice.

We did practice a lot of yoga during training and I did improve my practice. Since I have been back, it is back to Bikrams for the most part but I will be tailoring my own classes for at home from what I learned at teacher training. Which was a whole lot. I learned that it isn't important to always push oneselves and people come to yoga with different needs than what I have, so when I walk in the door to class, I have to throw out the expectations from my own practice.

I learn so much from the students though. I taught four classes post training and I felt I had a lot more to give and the understanding and learning I got from yoga was worthwhile. I gained a lot of understanding and am anxious to continue on the path, wherever it leads.
