Yoga Journal #1: insecurities.

[fusion_text]

First full weekend of training done – so super excited! On the Sunday of training we were required to teach someone a basic sun salutation and I must say that I froze up a bit. With the exception of the odd class here and there – the majority of the yoga practice that I have done up until now has been me alone at home  – so when it came to suddenly teach a sun salutation to the person next to us – I felt like I was thrown in the deep end and that everyone else in the class seemed to know so much more than me – which, on your first weekend of training is completely nerve wrecking.
I was totally unsure about the correct order and sequence of the sun salutations and I honestly felt like I was fumbling my way through it all – trying to see what everyone else was doing to try and get it right. I left feeling really worried that everyone else in the course is much more ahead of me.

Today I spent some time really looking at the sequencing of Surya Namaskara B – I even had a dentist appointment and tried to use that time to go through the movements and the breathing in my head – which really helped both in terms of learning the sequence and in distracting myself from the dentist!

Practiced the sun salutations a few times this evening and think it’s helped me to solidify the order which has made me feel more confident with it all!

Spoke to my mom this afternoon and want to showed her how excited I am about everything – but also don’t want to freak everyone out toooo much with all the “weirder” stuff that comes with the yoga training like Kriyas and nose flossing etc!

Warren has been incredible in taking everything on board and I’m so grateful that he has said he wants to be part of it all. I’m still a bit unsure of how much to share with him – because we are probably in different places – and me suddenly talking about strange tummy rollings and lion poses – may be a bit weird to most people! haha! Will have to see how it goes!

Have been feeling a slight aversion to meat lately –  I still like the taste of it and if it’s already in something I’m totally fine with it – I guess I’ve just been more frequently connecting that thing on the plate with an actual living breathing creature.[/fusion_text]
