2 Weeks Down!

2 weeks of yoga teacher training down, and 6 more to go! Wednesday night was all about anatomy and how the bones, muscles, and joints support the body and support the yoga postures we've been learning. I completed my anatomy assignments alongside Kenzie and Taylor as they did their homework. It feels good to be learning new things.

I developed a nasty cold towards the end of the week, and opted to stay home from class on Saturday and rest up. It was a good day to do that, since class time was only a couple of hours long, and I was able to do the syllabus work from home. Sunday was a long day - I left the house at 7 a.m. to go to mass in Boulder, and then got to the yoga studio at 9:30 to take the sculpt class. As we began, we were asked to "set our intention" for the class, and mine was just to "get through it" since I had been sick for the last couple of days. The class was packed mat-to-mat and the temperatures sky-rocketed as we held our weights and pumped through the sequences. The class ended up being awesome, and I think I sweated out any remaining sickness that I had! The remainder of the day (through 5 p.m.) was spent in a chanting clinic and then breaking down the balancing series of poses. We had the opportunity to do some practice teaching towards the end. There are so many sequences and cues to learn, but I think I get better each time. Afterwards, I had dinner over at my folks' (who had taken the kids overnight & through the day) and we were home just after 7. A long 12-hour day, but it was a great one!
