As we enter our second week at All Yoga... I 100% have a new found respect for every yoga teacher I've ever had.
The way the amazing yogis and yoginis in my life breeze through a yoga flow while busting out Sanskrit terms has to be some sort of superpower. Add to that the ability to beautifully sing chants (again in Sanskrit) before and after each class, that are equal parts calming and inspiring, and I'm just totally in awe.
We are all consistently teaching parts of our yoga classes now and while we are all improving - it is a totally intimidating experience. Trying to remember the order of poses, correct terminology in both English and Sanskrit, directing left from right, twists, extensions, modifications, all while trying to keep the flow going is proving to be ridiculously difficult.
With all of that being said, I'm still loving every minute of the training. I just haven't hit that turn in the road where I'm like... oh yeah, I've got this. I'll get there I'm sure, I just can't wait for it to happen :)
If you need me, I'll just be studying and dreaming in an ancient Indian language... Urdhva Mukha Svanasana... Adho Mukha Svanasana... Utkatasana...Virabhadrasana...Hasta Padangusthasana... :)
