It was a lovely weekend overall, though I guess I am a bit tired from it. This is normal for me, but it was the end of a part of my yoga chapter.

These beautiful ladies all graduated from the 200hr Kaya Yoga Teacher TrainingΒ held in Abu Dhabi at the Bodytree StudioΒ from January to June 2017.

The final practical exams were held this weekend with the ladies bringing their clients to our place on Thursday and Friday. I got to do one exam as training for the teacher-training aspect and helped mark the written exam since it was just a shorter version of our 300hr training exam.

So, yesterday was the formal practice and written exams with a celebration afterwards with everyone. Due to the way that Yoga Alliance does their certification, I had to get my 200hr first and now I can register my 300hr, but in any case, I have both – just the dates on the certificates are confusing…. πŸ˜‰

Still, the work is done for RYT-500 and now I aim towards getting E-RYT 200, which requires 1,000 hours of teaching/training teachers plus two years of experience from the initial certification. So, the chapter is not finished, but it is progressing along very nicely!

Me and Kaya

My teacher, Kaya, stayed the weekend with us as well, which was really nice as it gave us a chance to get to know each other better, talk and relax together. We even had a night out that was really lovely. It is so good to keep the heart open to people in our lives and I am glad to be reminded that there is always room for others if we just let ourselves be available for the love and kindness.

So, now I shall focus on recuperating as I managed to snap something in my glute in yesterday’s practice as well as hurt my neck…, but once I am back to feeling good I shall focus on just practice and teaching with love. ;D

200hr Yoga Weekend 1 Complete

Before this weekend came I was not sure about continuing with it as it costs money and time, both of which right now are very precious to us as I have to cancel lessons to do the weekend, which sets us back a bit in terms of our money for the week. πŸ˜•

However, after this weekend, I am quite glad that I am doing it and will make sure that I can complete it, the best that I can. 😁

There are 20 ladies in this new group. Most live in Abu Dhabi and all are very lovely. It is definitely a different group than the 300hr ladies – so I feel as if the bonds that we make will remain strong and true.

Aside from that, I also taught a workshop yesterday afternoon on “Yogic Attitude Training” using aspects of yoga philosophy to develop our minds into practice and learning over the next 6 months. 

I surprised myself by sharing more of who I am in the front of the room than I ever have done in 20 years of teaching. Just goes to show how much the energy of the room made things feel safe and open.

Although the content of the course is much the same as the 300hr and I do find myself a bit bored with the philosophy or history classes required for the training, I also think the review is good and am learning more about different bodies, different personalities, different people. πŸ€—

Still, despite the positive energy and love in the room, I am exhausted. I am so glad that God is looking out for me and gave me an unexpected free morning today as I was meant to be doing Apple Training. Instead, I just have the afternoon and then an evening lesson, which allows me some recovery time before going back to it. This week is very full so am already looking forward to the weekend! 😜
