9 years ago I took a yoga class for a PE credit at the University of Vermont. It had been recommended to me by the counseling center to help deal with some anxiety, stress and depression I was experiencing.
18 months ago I made the decision to find a yoga instructor training program to participate in this Summer. I began taking the necessary steps to be physically, mentally and financially ready for such an undertaking. My goal was clear, but far from simple: learn yoga. Learn so I can share this life-changing joy with others. Learn so I can help spread peace, love and light. Learn so I can take this experience within myself to an undiscovered level.
9 months ago, after months of internet searching and conversations, I found Blooming Lotus Studio on a little island in the Gulf of Thailand. For four weeks, along with 18 other committed yogis, I will be fully immersed in yoga practice, meditation, reflection and studying.
Today I begin my journey toward this new experience. I embark with an open mind, lifted heart and eager spirit. This first leg of journey I have only the butterflies in my stomach and words on my nook to keep me company. I cannot say I move forward without fear, but I am certainly prepared to taste this new chapter of my life. To allow it to flood into my soul,

time.
Am I ready?
Financially? Yes.
Physically? I think so.
Mentally? Not quite. But expecting that I cannot expect what's to come tells me that I'm as ready as I can be.
Namaste.
