I passed!


Here´s a picture of us studying on Friday night.

So excited! We had a written exam (quite easy) on Saturday morning. Piece of cake, just needed to learn some of the sutras and answer some questions about the yogic diet, meditation techniques and how to incorporate yamas (abstinences) and niyamas (observances) into my life. Then yesterday, I taught my qualifying class at 6:50 in the morning. It went really well and I can´t wait to teach. I hope I can remember and even improve my teaching over the next few months in Mexico. In the meantime, my family will be subjected to many classes next week. I need to see how I work with people who aren´t also yoginis, people who don´t know where I am going with each pose. Now just classes on marketing yoga, yeah still probably my favorite part, and guidance for those making the transition from yoga heaven to their regular lives.


We have been fasting all day for a full moon sweat lodge tonight. I still haven´t let sad emotions out so maybe tonights the night.


And here´s a picture of the sweat lodge, don´t know how we are all going to fit. Group bonding- like we need any more of that. I love the support I get and give down here. Its a really loving group.

Yay for passing! I had no doubts. You are smart. That sweat lodge looks kinda scary... Your Yogi friends look way more normal than I thought they would though. I was picturing weird yoga freaks. I am jealous of your family getting the benefits of your yoga teaching. I always think yoga is boring and makes people fart so I avoid it, but maybe you can be a private tutor to convert me when you return.
