“One door closes, another opens. You never know who is
watching you…and seeing a skill in you that you definitely didn’t see in
yourself. That’s a dope feeling.”
I posted this status on August 30th, 2014 (Facebook Timeline is good for something) after having a nice, lengthy
conversation with my yoga instructor. Before she excused us from class on this
day, she told the class that she would be teaching a certification class and she
had flyers for those who would be interested. I go to get a flyer…just to be nosy. As I grabbed the flyer, she looked up and
said, “So, you’re ready to start teaching?”
*scratches record* What?
Though I had been taking a more advanced class for about a
year, in addition to her class…I didn’t feel I was “experienced” enough to
guide others. But, she saw something that I didn’t see in myself. I told her I
would think about it and get back to her. It took less than a week to decide to
go through with it.
And I'm glad I did.
This past Saturday, I received my certificate of
completion. I celebrated by taking a nap (Because...32), then popping the finest Italian bubbly with the peeps that put me on to it. I still have some ongoing training to do (subbing so I can get used to teaching), but there is a good chance I'll have my own beginners' yoga class by the end of the summer.
The class will more than likely be at the gym I go to...which I joined thanks to an ex...who is the reason I started taking yoga. Ain't life funny?
I had created an Instagram page, but I didn’t
want to share the information with anyone until I was officially done. I'm not sure where I want to go with the page, but in the meantime...gon’ ‘head
and follow TheHoopinYogi. :-)
Namaste.
K to the...
