I'm back! It's been a while since I've authored a blog post....about 9 months. We all have finite amounts of time and much of mine was occupied as a pre-applicant in Yoga Yoga's 200-hour Kundalini Teacher Training Program.
I'm back! It's been a while since I've authored a blog post....about 9 months. We all have finite amounts of time and much of mine was occupied as a pre-applicant in Yoga Yoga's 200-hour Kundalini Teacher Training Program.
The last time I was in teacher training, I was the student. I watched my teachers intensely, trying to identify what made them so...well, cool. And now, with the tables turned I am sitting on the other side of the room, among my teachers. I saw the reflection of who I was when a student in teacher training - intense, inquisitive, and at times, overwhelmed.
As an intern this year I felt, well, intense, inquisitive and at times overwhelmed! Each weekend I learned a lesson and watched my teachers share the same information I received when training to be a teacher. Yet now, there is an added depth. It's funny how the same message can affect you differently depending on where you are in life.
The students themselves showed me where I was four years ago, and themes that I can work on now.
So, in many ways they acted as a mirror, showed me my true colors. And in that way, they were my teachers. At the end of it all I learned two very important things:
1. The "cool factor" that my teachers posses comes from their personal practice. So, it is attainable through practice.
2. No matter what side of the classroom you are on -- we are all teachers and students, learning and supporting each other.
