Training to teach.

Whew.  Just got done with my first weekend of yoga teacher training and what a weekend it was.  I thought I'd take the time to just write a quick blog updating my weekend, but look forward to an upcoming PracticallyFit blog in the next week or so.

Let's just start off with the fact that teacher training is so much more than I thought it would be.  There are aspects that are challenging, easy, interesting, educational, etc. all both physically and mentally.  I am learning so much more about myself than I expected to learn.  Now this is not to say that I thought teacher training would be all about students and just teaching, but I never expected it to effect all aspects of my life.

Now I could go on for days about everything that was amazing this weekend, but I'll spare you all the details and try to sum it up!  Taking a look internally was the most insightful part of the training.  Who do I spend my time with?  Why?  How do I react to different situations?  Why?  Why do I eat what I eat?  How do I breathe?  How do I move? Meditation, do I meditate?  And those are just a few examples of the introspective questions and reflection.
All amazing introspective questions and really makes you examine your life.  I left on Saturday night feeling like every person should take yoga teacher training just to become a better person and most of all a better version of themselves.

Most of all after this weekend I feel that I am doing exactly what I should be doing with my life in this moment.  After the move and a job that wasn't the best fit I think I lacked direction.  After this weekend I have realized that all of those changes have allowed me to do this teacher training.  So not to sound cheesy but this teacher training was me following my heart and soul and taking a bit of a leap of faith.  Just a testament to how rewarding it can be to follow your intuition.  Try it!  The reward is immense, trust me I feel as high as a kite after this weekend.  Can't wait to see what's to come in the next 8 weekends over the next year!!!!!
