I'm too sleepy to write a ton today... Day 7 is done!!!... so much studying... so many poses... so many Sanskrit words. gahhhh.

But, as difficult of a time as I'm having... I'd like to send a huge shout out to all of my classmates who speak English as a second language. These rock stars are having to hear instruction in English & Sanskrit, translate it into their native language to comprehend what has been taught, then take all assessments and teach in English. 

As far as non-native English speakers go, we have folks here from Estonia, Austria, Thailand, France, Sweden, Belgium, Holland, Philippines, Italy, Iceland and Singapore. The content that we are focusing on is hard enough in English... I honestly have no idea how they are doing it. It is remarkable. The group is just excelling at a crazy quick rate and are making this whole thing look like a cake walk. They are all so strong and determined - I mean, I feel totally lost for the first 10 times I do a new pose, and they are just breezing through the poses and teaching like experts already. I'm blown away.

I've said it before and I'll say it again - my favorite part of this whole experience is the people. I love that we now have a little All Yoga family across the globe. It is SO cool. 

We survived a week, team. Nice work to all. I'm so proud of us :)
