I am now a certified yoga instructor!
It all seems very surreal and yet extremely satisfying to know that I have accomplished this goal that I originally set in February of this year. I remember handing over my check to the front desk for tuition fees and thinking to myself, "Well, this is it, no turning back now." And then there were the dreadful moments leading up to my two weeks notice at the research company I worked for. I was extremely nervous that my directional change in career wouldn't be supported by my boss and co-workers. Luckily, I was fortunate enough to have superiors who understood why I was taking this leap and instead of doubting my success they encouraged me to follow my heart.
Writing this blog has also helped me understand more about who I am and what I have gained from this training. When I first thought of starting my blog it was mostly a way to share my experience with my mom and dad who I knew would be curious as to what I was doing "in the yoga." What is has become is more than I could have ever asked for - the support and comments from everyone including those of you from the Huntington Beach Hot Yoga community kept me motivated.
Tomorrow is my first practice class at 9 am! Nothing like diving in and going straight for it. I'm excited and nervous but not because I'm worried about making a mistake, but because it means so much to me to have this opportunity. I am so proud of all the teacher trainers who graduated with me and know that they will continue to be successful in their practice and in teaching.
Thank you again to everyone who has encouraged me along this journey. If there is anything I have learned is it to live in the now and trust yourself in following your passion. As is said at the end of each class, Namaste (my soul bows to your soul).
_Peace and Love
