"Something good always comes out of something bad."
While it's not my intention to start every post with some deep, meaningful quote that sets the stage for a dramatic description of my adventures, I did hear the above advice today and felt it was appropriate. How can I turn a negative event or encounter with someone, whether a stranger or friend, into something that was incredible, even encouraging? Ok, maybe not that far - but you get the idea. One of the most amazing things about yoga is the constant challenge it presents to both my body and mind. As a runner, I'm used to sticking with a couple of routines and knowing the exact points where I need to push or hold back. Yet with yoga, part of the excitement is in not knowing because there's always the ability to improve.
Today I learned from other teacher trainers about both their passion for yoga and their motivation to participate in this intensive four week course. It was both inspiring and gratifying to know that there are other people who feel the same way about this practice and truly appreciate its benefits. I can't remember a time when I have felt so deeply convinced that this is the right thing to do. The joy is like that of a child opening up presents on Christmas. Yoga is a gift, to me, and to others. I hope to share this gift with anyone who desires to partake.
_Peace and Love
