The Journey: Week 1
Day one. I sat in a circle of 25 women (and one man) tonight feeling such gratitude to be in this place. This is the time I have been dreaming of and waiting for. Tonight I realized why I had been waiting. The next step of my yoga journey has begun. The group included experienced and compassionate leaders, each 500 hour certified, who will be our guides. Yogis in training with many different varieties of experience in yoga were the largest part of the group. We had many different reasons for being here. All of us with at least one similar goal. To learn more about ourselves and move forward on our spiritual journey. Thank you Universe for opening me to this experience.
First week. We are off and running. After the introduction night, we had 8 hours on Saturday and 4 on Sunday. Learning how basic poses are meant to be. Yoga, questions, meditation, chanting. Oh yes all of it! Can you sense my excitement? We all came back on Sunday feeling sore and tired, but still pumped that we were all here.
Now begins the 10 month journey. Yoga at home, yoga at the studio, daily meditation, journaling our practice experience, and reading. The first reading assignment starts with anatomy and skeletal structure. I feel blessed to be in this place.
