Almost There

The groundhog may have been right last month because winter is hanging on with all its might in New England. Soon the clocks will spring ahead and no matter what the temps outside, the extra daylight will be so refreshing.

YogaDudes Give Aways

Having a competition was so much fun last month that we're doing it all over again in March. This time it's even easier; no questions to answer. We’ll be giving away free YogaDudes Zipper Pulls and all you have to do is become a fan of YogaDudes on Facebook. On March 31st two Facebook YogaDudes Fans will be randomly selected. Simply follow this Facebook link to visit the YogaDudes page and select “Become a Fan.”

And congratulations to Gena Bean from Cambridge, MA for her winning inspirational comment from last month’s contest. When I asked for inspiration on why I should become a certified yoga instructor, this is what she said:

“Become a yoga teacher because you've reached the point where you have no other choice. Sure, you've got other things on your plate, "tell me about despair, yours and I'll tell you mine...

But what else is there in your heart? What other road is there to walk? If there were any other path that would get you where you're REALLY going, you would take it. Because this path is not easy. There are times when this path scrapes you raw. But the Truth is hounding you, and you will not have rest until you are fulfilling your Calling

The work you do for (only) money drains you. The work you do for your heart fills you. Sometimes it will make you money, and sometimes it won't."

Gena received a free YogaDudes tank top for giving me the push that I needed to keep moving along. Thank you Gena!

My Yoga Teacher Training Update

So far I’ve completed the first two phases of my yoga teaching certification. This entailed reading a couple of very interesting text books, answering a 50 question final exam, and writing an essay on yoga and how it relates to health issues. At this point in time I’m studying Anatomy for Yoga, Meditation, and the Chakras. I’m finding all this to be a blast and really enjoying the studying. But the next, and final, part is terrifying me. I have to plan out my very first one-hour class and lead a couple students through it in order to obtain my certification. This is posing quite the challenge for me, but I just need to focus and breathe deeply. Some how I will come up with the perfect lesson plan . . .
