Karma Yoga

Tomorrow night will be my Karma yoga class...it is part of our teacher training program.  All money donations are given to Daybreak which is an awesome organization. 

I will be honest though..I'm nervous.  I haven't taught for months to get the beginners experience, but now I'm wondering how smart that may be--because part of teaching is continually practicing.  OH sigh..but here we are and I'm ready.

Well almost.
I have a sequence, but want to zen it out I guess.  Silly ego.  Pride.  Humanity. 
Love.

Learning

Since I've started my YTT, I am more than exhausted--which seems so very un-yoga-like.  As a single mom, full-time librarian--and YTT--I literally have 2 completely free days a month, plus 2 more almost free days.

This doesn't bode well for me.
Probably not for anyone.

Just a few years ago, I was a 95% stay at home mom and physically healthy--but emotionally distraught.  Now,  I am emotionally healthy and physically falling down a large hill.

I am most happy & content while doing YTT and the homework that goes along with it.  I am most blah not being home after school with the girls because of going to work.

I will continue to learn....

Kosha

I am in the beginning months of my yoga teacher training...it's hard to believe by December I will be able to feel I can teach.  Seeing how as I've taught on and off for years, not truly knowing what I was doing, I have gratitude for these classes.  Not only so I can share the gift of yoga, but also for my inner well being.

As I was looking through pics online, I found this picture.  Recently we were talking about kosha's, which to me are levels of energy and being...and as we were discussing I found myself sketching something similar to this found picture. 

I have the intent of making this yoga blog..with some bellydance thrown in because my heart belongs to dance also.

Namaste.
