Taking The First Step... Finally

Today I decided to take a 200-Hour Certified Yoga Teacher Training Program that will start on February 19th. I've been playing with the idea of a teacher training for about two years now. In fact, my husband barely looked up from his computer when I told him I was going to do a training. But this time it is for real.

The yoga studio that I've come to love so much - which has kept me sane while I've been living here in Naples, FL - finally announced their first teacher training program since they recently moved into a new, larger studio space and have quite the yoga community following them.

Today I was asked, "why would you like to become a yoga teacher?", to which I replied: "I love yoga. It’s changed how I live my life and I want to be able to share that with others. I am not sure exactly how quite yet, but one thing I would like to be able to do is volunteer teach as a way to give back to the community, perhaps to a women's support group. I also love learning about yoga (and myself) and know there is so much more for me to learn."

I intend for this blog to be a witness of my learning journey with yoga and how I "live yoga" in my day-to-day life.
