Teacher Training: 1st Residentual

Today is Thursday 24th September (2009) and in a few hours I will be traveling to the Mandala Yoga Ashram for my first residential weekend on their 2 year yoga teacher training course. Before long I will be at the ashram and meeting the 22 other prospective teachers and forming relationships.

My pre-course home work is done and I can forget about my move to Cheshire for a few days. Life is very full at the moment, moving on the 17th October, starting a new job with more responsibility, and having to prepare two workshops for early November. At the moment I’m hoping I can get everything done, including the home work from this weekend and the October weekend (weekend after I move). If you were to see everything I’m needing to do between now and the end of the year, you would want to take me away for a nice holiday in January, any offers? lol

Since July 2008 I have moved twice, and next month I move again, so I’m feeling a little displaced and unsettled at the moment. I would really like to develop a social life and a group of friends; however, once I am moved I should be able to do that, and the yoga teacher training course has plenty of people, so I am hoping that I will feel less and less like a spare part on the shelf as the rest of the year unfolds.

So I wonder what the course and my life it will be like, hopefully I will get time to share my journey with you.
