Ah, dear readers who still check this site after weeks of silence - much love to you! I've been a TOTAL slacker on the blog front because I've been doing another yoga teacher training that has consumed basically all the time and energy I could muster, so outside of that I had to pretty much just focus on eating and sleeping.
The training itself was really wonderful, though. I feel so lucky to have met all of these amazing people, especially since we've just moved here and know so few people. I was just trying to describe to Kei how teacher trainings tend to get emotional - he was wondering why he saw tears when he was a trooper and came to our graduation potluck - and it is tough to explain, but these things cut deep. Learning to teach itself requires you to take a certain step into vulnerability (the public speaking factor alone...), and then you add in all the work you do to learn and to begin to use this incredible, rich philosophy of it (which is like shining a super bright light on all the little crevices of your personality and history that you'd rather leave in the dark...) and you have yourself a pretty overwhelming recipe.
Anyway, I still have a lot of reflecting to do on much of this and I genuinely hope to stay in the "yoga bubble" in a way but it should be less consuming from here on out, and allow for me to emerge from it enough to write more often, but for the moment, all I want is to say: hello! I'm back!
