Ok…so it’s tough! New (uncomfortable) environment and strenuous course load/practice. I have bruises, aches, pains but overall I feel pretty well! (Jammed my toe on those crazy streets, but with a little massage, it’s getting better!)
We start at 5:45 am for class and are finished around 7 pm (getting breaks for food/tea). The TTC (Teacher Training Class) is a separate adventure on its own and sometimes I feel completely unprepared and unknowledgeable…BUT, I am very much prepared for our actual yoga practices..(Thank you, BYTW)…I have progressed so much in my advanced postures in just one week! (My Bikram yoga instructors will be so proud!)
When we arrived on Sunday, we were welcomed with a special blessing and ceremony that was quite beautiful…and we’ve been on the go since then. We have quite a multi-national group and everyone is VERY supportive, kind and friendly. We’re all in this together, and it’s nice to have such a great support network.

I’d like to get into greater detail about what we’re studying and experiencing every day, but it is too much to explain and we are bound by confidence while we are here. I do have to mention my difficulty in my meditation sessions though…My goodness, is it hard! The first day, was great and since then, all I can focus on are my legs! AUGH, my legs! HURT! (we meditate for 45 min)….This will take some time, and it’s all a VERY new experience for me, but I am learning very new things! And that’s why I’m here! To learn the basics of yoga!
