Here I Go Again...

Yoga is a very subjective practice.  There are many styles of yoga and schools of thought including hatha, kundalini, Iyengar, Bikram and power just to name a few.  One of the best things about yoga is that you are always a student; learning new things about the practice and yourself.

I completed my 200 yoga teacher training on August 29th.  I am about to embark on another 200 hour teacher training.  Why?  After I completed my training, I felt really good however I also felt like the I was standing on the edge of the Grand Canyon.  I had learned so much but I realized there is so much more to learn.  The new training being offered will be held by four senior Black Swan Yoga instructors, each with totally different training backgrounds. One of my absolute favorite teachers, Hillary Flora, is leading the team of trainers.  I have the utmost respect for Hillary as a instructor and person.  Without her, I would not have come this far in my practice.  I trust her completely

So I go again.  My goals for this training are:

1.  Improve my knowledge of yoga anatomy and alignment
2.  Gain a deeper understanding of classical Indian yogic philosophy
3.  Polish my classroom presentation

I thank my husband, Ian, for his constant support and understanding.  I thank all of you for being part of my journey.

  2. Go Denise! I must admit the offer to do a second training in a different style is alluring, but I can't swing it right now. I'm continuing self-study, although I barely have time for that at all. I'm with Megan, I'd love it if you would impart your new knowledge with us!
