Graduation

This weekend I graduated. Yes, its hard to believe but I'm certified to teach yoga. So why do things feel a little bit empty, which is weird as I had a wonderful weekend, emotional really. This weekend we got together as a class and brought together a 75 minute class with each of us teaching one section for 8 minutes. We practiced Friday, again on Saturday and taught to a group of real students, that meaning not just each other, but outsiders. Friends, family and regular Fireflow students. Everyone felt pretty nervous but for me I guess I just focused on the fact that thats it, course up. Last weekend doing something I love. For a moment I didn't want the class. I wanted to be having a regular YTT weekend again.

I've loved every single weekend I've been at Fireflow for teacher training. It's been busy. We learnt, anatomy, sanskrit, adjustments, asana's, ayurveda, chakra's, Ashtanga, vinyasa, restorative, yin, mediation, more adjustments, more teaching, and yoga text. So much was crammed into what seemed such little time, but it was a total of 250 hours, which is more than the average teaching course.

Coming to the end, I wouldn't say has brought on sadness, but does have me feeling like I still want more. More learning, more practice, more fun with my friends and the company of my teacher. I guess I feel very blessed to have had this experience over the last 8 months, and hope that my new life in this community will keep me feeling as humble and calm as I have over this time.

I guess my new posts will be about me as a teacher, yet still a learner and still hoping you want to read more.

Namaste
