We were given the Pre-teaching dialogue before Christmas in 2013. So we have to memorize first few poses but I wasnt able to memorize all admittedly because :
1. I was really spending the holidays with my family
2. Was helping out with the chores during the weekends cause we don't have any helper at home
3. Work at dayshifts... I usually go home late and I am really trying to squeeze in the memorizing part before I sleep..... Hopefully and praying that I can get a good technique on how to memorize ... I feel that I am really slow with this one.
Now, I really wanted to rent a place near my office or near the Yoga + Makati studio in Tordesillas.
The course is just on the weekends. So 10 weekends Feb 1-April 6 to finish the course.
Time Flies really. Day 1 and Day 2 are over.
Day 1.
Cheers to this!!! And Here we gooooooo.... G
TEACHER TRAINING DAY!!!!!!
We started early. And will be starting early until the end. Busy year. Tough year indeed but I believe this will be okay. Change is nice.. Challenge is nice. Getting outside your box is something that we need to learn.
7am Practiced Yoga with the whole group. We are just 12 in the Batch. Some new faces and some I usually practice with. I was really nervous and excited at the same time. My teachers were at the back to assess our poses and taking notes for the lab to correct us. For the first time ever in my HOT A practice i felt nervous because someone is watching at the back I cant even do my balancing poses well and felt a headache after.... But i needed to relax and to let go.
After practicing, we had a breakfast break then introduction of all the trainees. Amazing how I am included in this group and I was really excited to know all of them. We all have different stories in life and why we wanted to teach yoga was one of the things that we all have in common. We all have our reasons and it was meant to be that we are all in batch one. Surprisingly, Chi and I are the youngest from the group. I was really intimidated at first when I heard about each and everyone's career background... And I am just starting my career and I am already here but I believe there is a reason why.
Guidelines and reminders were discussed as well...... and the mantra : TTP or TTFP.
Trust the Process.
Trust the Process.
Trust the Process.
After the introduction/guidelines/reminders - we started with the History of Yoga. I am not a fan of history but it was really important to know about the roots... where it came from... it was said "if you don't know this, you can just be a regular gym instructor who asks the client to do bench push ups!" With this, mind setting was to divert into something positive that the history of yoga will help me understand what is yoga and for me to spread the word to my future students. Until the end of day we did history...... I can share my notes soon....
It was also shared that through out the course and through you yoga journey - Patience, Perseverance and Determination is IMPORTANT.
It was a nosebleed session. Some terms I can't absorb but took down notes so I can still remember all of the terms and the lecture.
Alright... I was about to share DAY 2. A lot of take aways. But can I do that tomorrow? Have to rest. Work again... It's a monday!!!!
