Yoga Teacher Training – A lifetime of value<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I just wanted to drop you a quick note to let you know how much I value having been one of your students. A few years ago I was in a car accident and it was a catalyst for me essentially stopping my asana practice. I had (have) quite a bit of neck pain… One thing lead to another. It’s probably been three years since I was on my mat. I would like to think that I have held to other ways of practicing yoga… Since most of my life’s work is service… But the physical practice went out the window.<\/p>\n

I gained weight. I didn’t eat as mindfully as I used to. I ultimately came to feel very weak in my body; something very unfamiliar to me. I told myself I needed to practice acceptance of this new phase of my life. That THAT was perhaps the lesson. And that I had opened business that are very important to my community that demand so much of my time and energy. That THIS was my focus now. But somehow I continued to miss my physical practice. Things felt out of balance for me. Two weeks ago I decided to roll out my mat and practice. It was humbling… As I used to fly effortlessly through postures. Ya. That’s not happening anymore. And there are modifications required now to accommodate my neck situation. But it feels AMAZING. Every morning for two weeks…<\/p>\n

Even if it’s for only 15 minutes… I get on my mat. I don’t have a set sequence. I don’t really know what I’m doing or going to do next. But I turn on the music… And somehow the modifications find me….and the postures just flow… Often in very unexpected ways. And it’s just wonderful. I remember lots of classes that I’ve been in and loved… And teachers who resonated with me from whom I learned many things. But somehow it’s your classes and lessons from teacher training<\/a> that come and go from my mind the most. I don’t think I paid that much attention to your classes on injuries and modifications. Maybe I listened to them as they might apply to teaching other people… But not for myself. I was strong and capable! Always had been. Gave birth to SIX children. I was STRONG! Oh my ego.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But somehow.. Your messages soaked in… And they are bubbling up from somewhere, now. And guiding me somehow through this new exciting, peaceful, grounding place I’m at. So thank you for that. Much much much gratitude.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
