Well, here it is folks....THE LAST DAY OF TRAINING! It is funny because I am feeling all the possible emotions there are to feel about today and as well as my experience here. This whole training has felt at times very weird and also very awesome. Words can't begin to describe how proud I am of myself. Coming to teacher training and also being a Bikram yoga teacher is something I never thought I was good enough to do. But now I know that is not true. I think the main lesson I have learned here at training is that I should drop the "I can't" from my vocabulary and replace it with "I try". This is an attribute that makes Bikram, Rajashree, Emmy, Jakob from NY, Lisa Johnson, Jack X and all the other countless teachers who have impacted my journey here different. "I can't" is not within their practice. It's more like "I try". Bikram often says here that yoga is not about doing it's about trying. I tried my best while I was here and there are some things I would do differently of course, but that is not the point. I have learned from those things and I'm not dwelling in them and using them to beat myself up or feel guilty. It was my experience and my truth and I am so very proud of myself, "mistakes" and all.
So here is a blog toast to the last day at training. Excuse me in advance if my last week wrap up is a tad late as I will be home and celebrating my return to the real world, as scary as that sounds.....
