Happy New Year!
I'm glad 2011 is behind me, just like I was glad 2010 was behind me and so on... So what have I been doing wrong to feel so unsatisfied? I could ramble on analyzing and debating the potential reasons but that would and has got me nowhere. It's time to take action and this year that means BIG change.
I am an Ecologist by trade and more importantly PASSION. Unfortunately, in my experience that isn't enough to make in the real world, maybe in a perfect world but not this one. In all fairness, there are fabulous people doing awesome things and I WILL continue to crusade for the planet. I am a tree hugging hippy and that will never change. I'm just changing my approach and taking my passion for yoga to a new level.
Last February, I went to Costa Rica for an intense 3 week yoga teacher training course with Frog Lotus Yoga (http://www.froglotusyoga.com/.) Needless to say, it change my life and after a year of teaching part-time I've decided to pursue a career as a teacher and yoga therapist! I LOVE it and I'm so excited to get started. The first step is to move to the city where there are more studios and opportunities to advance my own practice and learn the fine art and science of yoga therapy. So look out Calgary (YIKES!!) here I come!
Love this! You're a beautiful woman and I can't wait to see where this year takes you. Sarah.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sarah, That means a lot coming from a swell lady such as yourself.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to your adventure! And I didn't realize you were so close to us! Next trip to the city we must visit!
ReplyDeleteHi Nance -
ReplyDeleteSo, I stumbled upon your blog while researching the Frog Lotus YTT program in Costa Rica that I'm starting soon. I'd love to hear any advice or feedback about your experience that you're willing to share!

Hi Monica,
ReplyDeleteThanks for checking out my blog! My YTT in Costa Rica with Vidya was great! She's an awesome yogini but I found her teaching technique very structured. Mind you I don't know how else you'd be able to teach as much as she needed to in 3 weeks. Vidya and her teaching team are very knowledgeable and approachable. That said be prepared to read/study in the evening. Bring mosquito repellent. The food was AMAZING!! As were the hosts. Don't bring personal belongings to the beach. I had a few things stolen by some locals. Silliness on my part, I felt so safe hanging out with a pile of like minded people I forgot where I was :). There is a summary and much easier to read portion of the sutras at the back of the sutra book. Lessen the weight of your luggage and I wouldn't necessarily bring that book with you. We didn't open it but we used the others.
Have a wonderful time at the beautiful place and say hello to everyone for me.
Namaste
