What I know is I don't know

Yesterday's class with Kira was wonderful. I appreciate her knowledge and intelligence. Her sense of humor. Her genuine desire to help us understand. I realize how much I do not know. I haven't studied yoga in depth. My teachers have been books, tapes, DVD's and my own exploration of moving my body around. I don't know the names of the asanas. I don't know the sanskrit words. I don't know who's who in the world of yoga. While I know that what I don't know is much more than what I do know I know that everything about this class pulls me somehow. There is a connection I feel. I've always wanted a mentor, a teacher, someone who could encourage my full voice and potential - and there's been a certain envy I feel when others speak of their teachers and mentors and who they studied with. I've bushwhacked. It's landed me where I am today but there is so much more exploration!

The student is ready, the teacher appears. I can't wait for class today!

Yoga Teacher Training

I am so excited to be in the Yoga Teacher Training with Kira. To learn and grow, question, wonder, deepen and expand within the Mystery. Yoga integrates body, mind and spirit, everything I have gravitated toward in my life, everything I have been drawn to in my studies and practice for the past twenty years.

 I agree with Carolyn Myss when she says, 
"Our time has come. We are no longer "waiting" for the era of consciousness to begin. We ARE that era. We must now put to use all that we have prepared ourselves to be and to do through these years. The world is now the new monastery in the most cosmic meaning of that term and you are a mystic out of the monastery, who has the potential to be a force of great change in your personal life, for your family, your friends, and your community. We are indeed all in this together."

For me Yoga is the answer and I want to be an instrument.
