Even though I've continued logging my yoga sequences in this blog, I realized I feel astray detailing my thoughts and acquired knowledge. It's been awhile since doing the latter. I'm sure the main reason is because I completed the Advanced Yoga Studies 150 hour program at the Bhavana Institute for Yoga and Ayurveda. The program was well-rounded, informative and filled with a delightful group of teachers who offered encouragement and support. I knew yoga encompassed more than the asana and pranayama practice, but never could understand anything outside of those two subjects like: the yoga sutras, the Bhagavad Gita, and yogic philosophy. Even though I walked away with new knowledge and insight, I still feel there's more to explore in the wonderful world of yoga! And now I'm currently finishing the 50 hours in order to be a certified yoga teacher. Within those 50 hours, I am apprenticing a beginner class, studying for an anatomy class, attending workshops and then I have to actually teach a class for a total of ten hours. I have yet to teach my own class. I don't understand how anyone does since this is a huge challenge for me. I lacked, and may still, in confidence within myself and ability which will get me nowhere but at a standstill in life. I need to work towards being more confident in myself (not cocky) and my yoga. I may not be the best, but I dedicate so much time, practice, and energy into yoga. I'm still unsure of sequences or the proper terminology when teaching, I guess that is another practice I'll over take.
