Everyone’s heard the quote, ‘Life’s a journey, not a destination” . You could argue that everything that’s happened in my life, every decision I have made, has led to where I am right now. I believe you would be right.
But I’m not going to tell you my life story right now! ‘Phew!” I hear you say, for sure, that wouldn’t be the most interesting blog, would it?
I think my immediate journey to my yoga teacher training course began close to 2 years ago when a switch flipped towards a healthier lifestyle. An eight-day juice fast started me along the path to healthier eating, whole foods, and raw foods and far fewer animal products.
Apart from what you feed your body, getting it moving is key to improving your health too. I love hiking and swimming. I trained hard with a kick-ass kickboxing instructor and sweated rivers at a fight club inspired circuit training class. Yoga was always there, whispering in the background. I usually managed to slot in a couple of classes a week around the harder fitness, and it always felt like home. To be honest, it's always where I felt most captivated and inspired. Yoga feeds your mind while helping clear your mind and let go.
Among many other significant decisions buzzing around in my head, I had been trying to decide if I should do my yoga teacher training course for a while. If I did one, where was I going to do one, why was I doing it, would I teach? So many questions! Then a back injury forced me to a complete stop. Resting and healing was hard and of course I tried to get back to kickboxing too early, impatience!
This time I crept back to my yoga mat slowly and carefully. Learning to back off, be happy where I was and not to push was a lesson well learned. Yoga has many such things to teach me both on and off the mat and ultimately I decided that a yoga teacher training course was a damn fine way to learn. Submersion in a months yoga-ey-goodness, I can't wait!
